network devices not enabled after boot; requires manual ifup
During bootup, I get the following message: Setting up network interfaces: lo Service network not started and mode 'auto' -> skipping done eth0 Service network not started and mode 'auto' -> skipping done # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO='static' STARTMODE='onboot' IPADDR=10.202.1.98 NETMASK=255.255.224.0 BROADCAST=10.202.31.255 # chkconfig --list network hotplug coldplug network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off hotplug 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:off 6:off coldplug 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off (The system boots to run-level 3; X is not installed.) In order for the network device to be configured, I have to login and run "ifup eth0" manually, which results in: eth0 device: Intel Corp. 82544EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 02) ...and the network works. What do I need to do in order to enable eth0 automatically after a reboot? System info: Subset of SuSE 9.1 Professional (customized package list installed via auto install CD), 2.6.9-rc4 kernel from kernel.org with the tiocgdev patch (supplied by SuSE in kernel-source-2.6.4-52.rpm). Tested on two Dell PowerEdge servers with the same result: one using a Broadcom BCM5704 NIC (tg3 driver; compiled into the kernel) and one using an Intel 82544EI NIC (e1000 driver; compiled as a module). /var/log/YaST2/badlist-initial is empty.

Interesting that it doesn't think the network service is running. Look at /var/run/sysconfig/ and see if there's a problem with that directory, perhaps look at earlier messages and see if perhaps the file system is still mounted read-only at that point?! Just a guess

That directory is empty until I run ifup on the interfaces (the "network" file is absent). # cat /var/run/sysconfig/if-eth0 interface=eth0

I get the same results running "/etc/init.d/network start" manually at run-level 3. - Chris
