I rebuilt the initrd with 77-network.rules moved to /etc/udev/rules.d, and booted with that. I didn't get the error messages reported here. I don't understand why it makes a difference, but it was worth mentioning.
Ah, ignore that - the missing scripts were not reported on the local console, but I do see them on the serial console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's a mkinitrd bug, it copies 77-network.rules and ifup, but the ifup-sysctl dependency is missing.
Ok so we know its a bug in mkinitrd. I have this error but doesnt seem to have any ill effects. Is there a workaround or should I just ignore it.

I recently installed openSUSE 12.1 on my machine and everything worked fine, hen I got the same error message yesterday after trying to boot openSUSE.
The error message said something about:
udevd[250]: failed to execute /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl lo -o hotplug: no such file or directory.....
I had to do a CTRL-D or systemcftl default or something.
Hope you can fix it as it is annoying.
Again, the ifup-sysctl error message is just a visible one, but it is _harmless_ and it definitively does not has anything to do with the Ctrl-D request in systemd emergency mode. The mkinitrd scripts aren't exact enough and copy also the /lib/udev/rules.d/77-network.rule rule file into the initrd, udev is trying to execute the /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl script and reports, that /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl is not available in the initrd. When the system is running from the final root filesystem, the udev there will execute it again and apply the ifsysctl(5) settings. The Ctrl-D / systemd emergency mode gets started, when some required service start fails, e.g. when a (local or remote) file system specified in the /etc/fstab can't be mounted. For _example_, you're using lvm and the lvm service is not enabled and thus the /dev/<lvmgroup>/<volume> is not yet available. To see what causes the Ctrl-D message you can login and take a look if there is an error message somewhere or use Ctrl-D to reboot and then remove the "quiet" and set the systemd.log_level=info systemd.log_target=kmsg parameters at boot prompt. Please install also the most recent systemd package from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fcrozat:/systemd/openSUSE_12... there is a dependency fix -- systemd were trying to start nfs before network / together with local filesystems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What's blocking the fix to get published?
More important/urgent work than fixing this false error? I do not understand why this bug gets so much attention... Note again: When the systemd e.g. cannot boot, it is just the last (always) visible "error" message [still one from initrd] and has really _nothing_ with any problems somebody may have.
It's not available from the update/12.1/ nor the update/12.1-test/ repository.
See comment 22,23,26 -- the packages are submitted to 12.1 and factory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I do not understand why this bug gets so much attention..."
Maybe because it bites a lot o people?
It is annoying to see this error message, yes. But it does not bites anybody.
If OpenSuse is serious about being desktop friendly, then somebody should fix this and it's really a shame it hasn't been fixed already.....
It is fixed and submitted -- just not approved as update yet.
ps what would happen if I was to run this OS as server OS and need to sit at the console and hit ctrl-d before it would boot further?
Please read the bug report again -- this bug is NOT about any issues causing systemd to enter "ctrl-d" emergency mode. This Bug is about a confusing ifup-sysctl "false alarm" error message that visible at every boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
