The portmapper (or in 11.1 rpcbind) listens to "all available interfaces". This means it can start even if only localhost is up.
Unless you added your network interface to MANDATORY_DEVICES in /etc/sysconfig/network/config, either by editing the config file directly or by setting the interface as mandatory in YaST, the startup script is not going to wait for it, it will allow it to initialize in the background.
I found this comment in "/etc/init.d/network": # mandatory interfaces may be specified in /etc/sysconfig/network/config # If $MANDATORY_DEVICES is empty we take all PHYSICAL_IFACES, which are # configured with STARMODE=auto, as mandatory If this is accurate, does it not contradict what you wrote? I also confirmed that eth1's STARTMODE (note the typo in the comment above) is "auto". For some reason, lo's STARTMODE is the deprecated "onboot".
