From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux; X11; en_US, en) (KHTML, like Gecko) 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. Additional info:
Looks like a duplicate of bug #130592.
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 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 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.
Try applying the patch from bug #130575.
