10 This is a stab in the dark, but recently when an emerge upgraded udev, I
11 got a warning message that CONFIG_FHANDLE wasn't set in my kernel config.
12 (This is in General setup, prompt "open by fhandle syscalls".)
13
14 Without this setting, I got errors on booting, and indeed my ethernet
15 connection didn't come up. After setting CONFIG_FHANDLE and rebuilding
16 my kernel, the problem went away.

18 Might you have this same problem?
