Starting up up the network fails complaining that it doesn't like 00:15:c5:ad:4d:ce as a interface name. if I drop "rescue" from the append line everything works fine (I installed the os that whay) if I remove netdevice=bootif and ipappend I have problem on any system with >1 nic (which in my case is most of them) since then it defaults to eth0 and I'm booting from eth1/2/3 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
