Same here, using kernel 2.6.29-1-686 from unstable. Old entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules was
# PCI device 1039:0900 (sis900) ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", NAME="eth0" which led, approximately due to the fact that the SYSFS entry is no more recognized correctly by udev 0.141-1 to creating a new rule for the same device # PCI device 0x1039:0x0900 (sis900) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1 and so the network interface was renamed from eth0 to eth1 (which had no configuration in /etc/network/interfaces), resulting in system starting up with no valid network interface at all after next reboot. Isn't it possible to at least deploy a warning message to the user at udev update, containing a hint that he SHALL review 70-persistent-net.rules for entries containing deprecated values which may lead to non-working networking? -- Best regards, Edgar Sippel mailto:dont.spam...@gmx.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
