Hey, all. Suffered power outtage yesterday. Not much of a big deal as the |
2 |
ups brought the system down on battery... |
3 |
|
4 |
That's the good news. The bad news is that, upon system boot, my dhcp-based |
5 |
eth0 interface no longer comes up and I don't know why... |
6 |
|
7 |
When the init script is run it reports that it is bringing the card up in |
8 |
DHCP and that it is calling dhclient. At that point, however, the startup |
9 |
shows the [!!] indicating a failure occurred but I have no real details why. |
10 |
|
11 |
The only thing in the system log is a message from dhclient: |
12 |
receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down. |
13 |
|
14 |
dmesg doesn't report any errors related to the network card. |
15 |
|
16 |
After the system is up I can log in at the console and run dhclient manually |
17 |
as root and eth0 comes up fine. |
18 |
|
19 |
The system previously came up fine, so it's got to be something from the last |
20 |
couple of weeks (the system is up 24x7 so it has been awhile since the last |
21 |
boot). |
22 |
|
23 |
The only significant change to the box recently was the new baselayout, but |
24 |
I think I got everything migrated successfully. |
25 |
|
26 |
Anyone out there have a suggestion as to how to diagnose and resolve this? |
27 |
|
28 |
Thanks in advance, |
