Created an attachment (id=264291) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=264291) [details] /dev/shm/sysconfig

TGZ-file created via tar cvzf /tmp/bnc462816.tgz /dev/shm/sysconfig

Please set DEBUG=EXTRA in /etc/sysconfig/network/config first, then reboot and then create the tar archive again. The (global config, it has no effect in ifcfg* files) DEBUG="EXTRA" setting enables a lot of debuging (tracing of all scripts using a "bash -vx") in ifup, ... [see beginning of /sbin/ifup]. The output files are in /dev/shm/sysconfig/exdeb.* or in /exdeb.* (when /dev/shm/sysconfig can't be created). -- 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.
