First of all: thanks to Willie W. for spotting this issue. I was banging |
| 2 |
my head against the wall since yesterday! |

Upgrading udev to 090, don't accept the lines: |

from the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules of udev-090 |
| 34 |
They will cause any sort of crappy behaviour! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If you accept them (as I did, alas!), the drivers of the network cards |
| 37 |
are loaded in order of appearance during BIOS checkup routine |
| 38 |
irrespective of any user settings, namely: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
1) modules order in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.x |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
2) alias entry in /etc/modules.d/net (hence in /etc/modules.conf after |
| 43 |
due modules-update). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
In consequence of this snafu if you have more than one NIC (I had 4 last |
| 46 |
night!) you are more or less sure no net services will start correctly |
| 47 |
at following boot. I suspected an hardware failure (there was a storm |
| 48 |
here, last night) and had any sort of doubts trying to swap back eth0 |
| 49 |
and eth1 to their original names without compiling one of the modules |
| 50 |
into the kernel. |
| 51 |

All this stupid waste of time started when I decided to get rid of the |
| 54 |
warning at bootup about '%e' being deprecated. |
| 55 |
I wouldn't have upgraded udev! |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Ok, "%e" will be set apart, but which is the new and right syntax, then? |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Why a warning (a deprecation advice isn't an error) is showing up in |
| 60 |
console as an error? |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
I'm really a bit disappointed about this udev issue. |
| 63 |
IMHO silly choice, about the way of managing deprecation and about |
| 64 |
default settings for modules automation. |

Hoping this will save someone else a bunch of nightmares... |
