I don't see these messages anywhere in initscripts code, nor in a test boot of
fairly minimal install. These error messages must be coming from somewhere else.

Comment 2 Florian La Roche 2006-06-19 17:58:28 UTC
./sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6
Function seems to be ipv6_test()

Florian La Roche

Please attach your network config.

Logs for this should help a lot, as it already shows up pretty early:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Entering non-interactive startup
CRITICAL : [ipv6_test] Kernel is not compiled with IPv6 support
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:  prism54 device eth0 does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.
                                                           [FAILED]
CRITICAL : [ipv6_test] Kernel is not compiled with IPv6 support
Starting system logger:                                    [  OK  ]
Starting kernel logger:                                    [  OK  ]


Don't think this relates to the actual network config:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.123.127
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
HWADDR=00:01:36:0D:CE:17
ONBOOT=yes
ESSID=laroche
CHANNEL=6


prism54 errors are probably already in some other bz, I have local workarounds
to get this started.
