Hello SuSE folkz, We're experiencing severe network problem with SuSE8.0 on five different systems. All these boxes were installed with default SuSE8.0 configurations. Suddenly for no apparent reason, after SuSE8.0 reboot, the network stopped working on all of them. I've sent all the information to SuSE support team but so far I didn't get any reply from them. Here are related messages from /var/log/boot.msg. ---snip Setting up loopback interfaceStarting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... Unknown parameter lo. Usage: SuSEconfig [--quick|--nonewpackage|--force|--verbose] [--module name] failed ---snip and ---snip Initializing random number generator done Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...

All our work stumbled because of this issue. Our research and development can't be done without networking. I've attached other files with system related information for your reference. Please contact me if any additional information is needed. Thank you in advance. Alex Daniloff R&D Engineer
