[...] Randall, if you're using RUN_PARALLEL=yes in /etc/sysconfig/boot, can you please try to set it to "no", reboot and watch if it'll work then? If so, please bugzilla it. BTW, are you NICs set to receive their addresses from a DHCP server? If so, which manufacturer are they from? Broadcom... ?
- RUN_PARALLEL: Yes, of course, as is set by the openSUSE installer
- Rebooting for experiments: Not high on my list, since its very time-consuming and disruptive.
- DHCP: No; Both hosts are statically addressed
- NIC: Marvell 88E001, driver "skge"
Why would the particulars at the device level matter?
Some of the broadcom devices are known to not be functional when the driver is loaded; they can take up to 60 seconds until they can be really used. DHCP in addition can cause additional delay, that combined with RUN_PARALLEL sometimes results in some services not working properly after a (re)boot, simply because the script potentially starts earlier than it does in the RUN_PARALLEL=no case.
