I did some more testing, and when PXE booting the netboot d-i images, the 70-persistent-net.rules file got the duplicate entries very early. Only the localechooser, console-setup-udeb, ethdetect and netcfg menu items have been selected. The first is added before localechooser show its menu when I do not run the installation on "automatic". But installing interactively do not cause the duplicate entries, and I am unable to insert instrumentation without doing things interactively. :( Perhaps it only happen on fairly quick machines? I experience it on a Thinkpad X200 and X300, but not on a 10 year old Latitude D505. :( It would be nice if /lib/udev/write_net_rules could be changed to log a message to syslog when 70-persistent-net.rules is updated, to be able to figure out when it happen. I in the places I suspect are related to this issue, add similar instrumentation in the hw-detect code. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
