Description of problem:
I have two interfaces on my notebook, and eth0 for direct ethernet 
connection and eth1 for wireless. After yesterday's update/reboot
I have lost my dns resolving capability. I could still connect to sites
defined in /etc/hosts file bur not others. I presume initscripts was
the problem since the latest changes involved something with
resolv.conf file, which is empty in my case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.66

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.update to initscripts-7.66-1
2.restart computer
3.

Looks like a duplicate of bug #130592.

Comment 2 John Reiser 2004-08-23 03:06:49 UTC
My /etc/resolv.conf became one blank line only, instead of two lines
of "nameserver xx.yy.zz.ww" furnished by a NetGear RP614v2 NAT box
acting as DHCP server.  This happens with every boot using
initscripts-7.66-1, under both kernel-2.6.8-1.526 and kernel-2.6.8-1.524.

I have two wired interfaces: eth0 is a sis900 in motherboard chipseg,
eth1 is a e100 add-in PCI card.  [Upon initial FC3T1 installation,
anaconda+kudzu put the cards in the other order, but I switched them
because I wanted the same order as the other 5 Linux systems in this
multi-boot box.]  Both kernel modules got loaded automatically:
-----/etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 sis900
alias eth1 e100
-----

-----/sbin/lsmod | egrep 'e100|sis'
e100                   34245  0
mii                     3777  1 e100
sis900                 15941  0
-----

Current configuration uses eth0, and does not use eth1:
-----/sbin/ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr yy.yy.yy.yy.yy.yy
          inet addr:192.168.0.5  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: <private> Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:544 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:436 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:552317 (539.3 Kb)  TX bytes:76086 (74.3 Kb)
          Interrupt:12 Base address:0xd400
 
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

[rest snipped]
-----

If I put the correct 'nameserver' lines into /etc/resolv.conf, then I
can ping external sites by DNS name.  Otherwise I must use numerical
IP4 addresses only.  I have dhclient-3.0.1-7 installed.

The commonality with the original poster is two ethernet interfaces,
and an empty /etc/resolv.conf file after booting with initscripts-7.66-1.
