I'm not sure if this is due to upgrading to 2.6.18-4, but 'eth0' stopped working recently on my SS5. I did a bit of digging in /sys and noticed: # ls -l /sys/bus/sbus/drivers/sunlance/*/ /sys/bus/sbus/drivers/sunlance/sbus[ffd402d8]/: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:46 bus -> ../../../../bus/sbus -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 30 18:22 devspec lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 driver -> ../../../../bus/sbus/drivers/sunlance lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 net:eth0_rename -> ../../../../class/net/eth0_rename lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/sbus --w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 30 18:46 uevent /sys/bus/sbus/drivers/sunlance/sbus[ffd426d0]/: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:45 bus -> ../../../../bus/sbus -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 30 18:22 devspec lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 driver -> ../../../../bus/sbus/drivers/sunlance lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 net:eth1 -> ../../../../class/net/eth1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 30 18:22 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/sbus --w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 30 18:45 uevent When I renamed 'eth0' to 'eth0_rename' in /etc/network/interfaces, it worked! Any idea what's going on here? Also, I can't install 2.6.18-3 as yaird is failing: # apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc32 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
