Hi, Yeah, turns out this was actually because of Network Manager taking down and bringing up again eth0. That bug is still present. My feisty (NFS root) install has both these files contents as exit to stop network mangager mangling the network connection: /etc/default/NetworkManager

Hacked up /etc/init.d/{avahi-daemon, dbus} with exit 0 at the top of both files to get them to go away and stop mucking around with the network card when it already has an IP. TestingFails. New errors! Seems to fail almost immediately after Starting basic networking... Ends up with

I'm having the same trouble except that I don't see the /dev/null error, although it may flash by too fast for me to read. I get a slew of complaints about sed before the system hangs. I added single to the boot options of my nfs bootup, and successfully got to a root prompt. The only problem I
