Somehow the devices are being renamed at boot. Make sure there is only one device in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices I think I have only one Ethernet device in that directory. Is that what you mean? I'm also a bit surprised at the creation dates of the files, since I don't remember reconfiguring these devices recently. Here are the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/networking directory, using more *: # pwd /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices # ls -l total 24 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 190 2007-11-12 09:08 ifcfg-eth0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 249 2007-11-12 09:08 ifcfg-eth1 -rw------- 1 root root 5 2007-11-12 09:08 keys-eth1 # more * :::::::::::::: ifcfg-eth0 :::::::::::::: # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters.

System failed this morning. System files referred to above are unchanged. Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I notice you're still having the same issue with your other bug and the latest kernel has not resolved the problem. I would only add here what I have put there - namely please test against 2.6.24 when you are able and update this bug. I was tempted to merge the two but as the issues may still be unrelated thought better of it. It's difficult to test, as this failure is very rare. I no longer remember when I last saw the bug. I would be willing to close in the next triage, unless I see it again in the meantime. If so, I will file another report, as in comment #6. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
