kvm -k en-us -m 512 -net nic,macaddr=00:1d:92:ab:3f:72 \
-net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \
-net nic,macaddr=00:1d:92:ab:3f:73 \
-net tap,ifname=tap10,script=no,downscript=no \
-serial pty -cdrom grml64_2010.04.iso

tap0 and tap10 are tap devices on two different bridges:

% brctl show
bridge name bridge id   STP enabled interfaces
vnet8000.86a2b9d3893c   no  tap0
tap1
tap2
tap3
vnet1   8000.46e4f8edc02f   no  tap10
tap11
tap12
tap13

please don't be shy to describe or tell the setup whith which you
reproduce, thanks!

After several hours of testing I've to report that it sadly is still
present.

klibc-utils 1.5.18-1 is broken as soon as more than one NIC is
present, independent of the i-t configuration manually executing
ipconfig fails -> runs just in an endless loop.

Downgrading to klibc-utils 1.5.12-2 fixes the issue.

I tend to call this a RC bug as people with multiple NICs in their
systems will get non-booting systems, so raising severity of 584583
- we have to fix this for squeeze.

maks, you can easily reproduce this issue with kvm, a live system
(latest Grml release works fine) and two virtual NICs.
If you need any further information I'm happy to provide it,
debugging klibc-utils 1.5.12-2->1.5.18-1 is PITA with all its header
and build changes.
