Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: netbase
netbase: 4.27ubuntu2
ifupdown: 0.6.8ubuntu6
net-tools: 1.60-17ubuntu1
Problem description;
eth0 does not get assigned IP on boot (static configuration).
Whats causing it:
I tracked the problem down to "eth0=eth0" being present in
/var/run/network/ifstate which causes ifup to think eth0 is already up.
If i run "ifdown eth0" before rebooting, eth0 gets an ip on the next boot.
(ifup is called in /etc/init.d/networking start)
How to solve:
/var/run/network/ifstate should be emptied before calling ifup in
/etc/init.d/networking start
or;
make sure /etc/init.d/networking stop is called on shutdown (but in case of a
reset you will still have the line present in /var/run/network/ifstate so that
solution is not as good as the first)
