------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-26-09 19:58 ------- for me, /etc/sysconfig/network is incomplete because no HOSTNAME=.... was present. I was thinking, this was why I didn't get an ip at boot. You said me that HOSTNAME wasn't required, ok. But still with HOSTNAME I don't get an IP. I investigated a little more : "ifup eth0" work. but "service network start" doesn't. i've looked around, in network script, the call which cause problem is "ifplugd -w -b -i eth0" so I've moved the bug to ifplugd I've tried to make CD from actual cooker, and installed it. And here the network works. I've tried with noapic, acpi=off this doesn't help. I've added a -x at /etc/init.d/network : + GPRINTF_MSG=Activation de l'interface eth0 : + shift 2 + GPRINTF_REST=/sbin/ifplugd -w -b -i eth0 + echo -n 'Activation de l'\''interface eth0 : ' + '[' -r /etc/sysconfig/system ']' + grep -q '^LIBSAFE=yes$' /etc/sysconfig/system + initlog -q -c '/sbin/ifplugd -w -b -i eth0' + failure 'Activation de l'\''interface eth0 : ' + rc=1 + gprintf_msg_rest 'Activation de l'\''interface eth0 : ' -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: During install I didn't configure my network. (didn't scroll the resume box). the default is dhcp(/zeroconf?). I ran drakconnect (the first time in drakconf, the second time alone), to configure it. I entered all my parameters: fixed IP, etc, etc.... The ending box said all is okay, but not. the driver for the card is loaded. but no ip is assigned to interface. Seems that the files /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 aren't written with the new values.
