That's not how it works. The 'ISALIAS' checks to see whether the current interface is an alias; because you don't want to bring up interfaces for an alias. The problem is that you compiled the kernel without aliasing support, and linuxconf's behaviour in this case is not very good (it's what's causing these messages). Either comment out the portion of ifup-aliases that refers to linuxconf, or upgrade to the latest initscripts in Raw Hide, which has this already done.

System is stock RHL6.0/Intel. Noticed problem after building 2.2.10 from pristine source, don't know if it's related. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post, lines 20-22 read: if [ "$ISALIAS" = no ] ; then /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases ${DEVICE} fi Thus, it's trying to bring up alias interfaces when it explicitly knows that there are none. Only effect on my system is to cause modprobe errors ("modprobe: can't locate module eth0:0" [to eth0:49]), but I suspect that this will cause fairly major hassles for those who do use alias interfaces. (The converse of the effect that I see is that interfaces that include aliases will not be properly brought up.) Simple fix is to replace "no" with "yes" on line 20. It appears to work just fine for me, and makes sense logically. Hal Haygood, RHCE hhaygood
