Hi,
I just installed 9.2 on my home server and am experiencing some trouble. On boot the ethernet card is not being correctly initialized and therefore all subsequent startups like DHCP, DNS etc. all have problems.
As you can see by the output below, it seems the interface is not getting/retaining its (ipv4) address.
Try this. In /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp: ## Type: integer ## Default: 0 # # Some interfaces need time to initialize. Add the latency time in seconds # so these can be handled properly. Should probably set per interface rather than here. # DHCLIENT_SLEEP="1" and ## Type: integer ## Default: 15 # # When the DHCP client is started at boot time, the boot process will stop # until the interface is successfully configured, but at most for # DHCLIENT_WAIT_AT_BOOT seconds. # DHCLIENT_WAIT_AT_BOOT="15" Initially, I used only DHCLIENT_SLEEP, which frequently didn't do any good, so I set DHCLIENT_WAIT_AT_BOOT. I used to have that value set to 2 seconds, but it still failed to init on occasion, so I increased it to 15. There is probably no need now to have DHCLIENT_SLEEP set at any non-zero value, but I just haven't bothered to change it back.
