Hello all, I'm about at my wit's end, and I really hope some one might be able to shed some light on this topic for me.
I have two physically identical servers, both running 10.04.1, both are completely up to date. Both are set up to be kvm hosts. On both machines, I have an IDENTICAL /etc/network/interfaces, the only difference being two lines where ip addresses are specified. The problem is, that both machines need a bridge set up on boot, so that virtual machines can access it. One machine works 100% fine, the other, the second bridge never comes up! My /etc/network/interfaces file can be seen at: http://gist.github.com/579592 Also, I just did a fresh re-install of 10.04.1, and performed the updates on the machine that isn't working, thinking that maybe I did something slightly different during the initial install. But it still doesn't work. If I type: sudo ifup br1 I get: "ifup: interface br1 already configured". But, ifconfig doesn't list either my eth2 or my br1 devices. Also, brctl show doesn't list my second bridge. But, if I edit /var/run/network/ifstate and remove the br1=br1 line, then run "sudo ifup br1", it comes up just fine. Similarly, if I "sudo ifdown br1;sudo ifup br1" that also works. Any idea why it isn't coming up automatically on boot, when my other identical machine does just fine? Or even where I might look to try and figure it out myself? There are no error messages in any of the log files that I could find. I'm truly stumped!
