From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18-plogic-10b.bproc i686; Nav) Description of problem: If I boot the redhat 2.4.7 kernel that shipped with 7.2 the if{up,down} scripts run fine.. and I get no errors while booting or when I run /sbin/ip -o link BUT: upon booting redhat 7.2 with the very same custom 2.4.x kernels that worked perfectly fine with initscripts-5.84 under redhat 7.1; I see that all my network interfaces fail when they attempt to be bought up with the error: "Cannot send dump request: Connection refused" . manually attempting to bring up the loopback interface with: ifup lo fails with the same error message, but its return code is 0... strange. Also, when I then try: /sbin/ip -o link I get that same "..: Connection refused" error. Using the ifup from initscripts-5.84, instead of initscripts-6.40, with my custom linux kernel; I was able to bring up all my interfaces without any problems. However, ifdown from both initscript versions does _not_ work under Redhat 7.2 with my kernel; I can send my .config if you really question the basic networking ability of my custom 2.4.14 kernel; my orinoco wireless card works just fine... below you'll see the network protocols my kernel supports. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot non-RedHat linux kernel >=2.4.13 2. ifup lo 3. /sbin/ip -o link Actual Results: 1. you see network interfaces [FAILED] during bootup 2 & 3. "Cannot send dump request: Connection refused" Expected Results: the interfaces should've been brought up Additional info: these are my network entries from /proc/net as seen with my custom 2.4.14 kernel: arp netstat rt_cache softnet_stat wireless dev packet rt_cache_stat tcp dev_mcast raw snmp udp netlink route sockstat unix
