Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-01-21 18:16:04 UTC
Interesting. There's nothing obvious in the changelog that would affect that.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2008-01-21 18:21:01 UTC
There's changes between 8.60 and 8.61 in both ifup-eth and ifdown-eth ; does
reverting either (or both) of these solve it?

Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2008-01-22 15:34:19 UTC
This is pretty interesting problem. I've installed 8.61 and rebooted. Message
"Device peth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization." was printed
and network wasn't started. When I use ifup-eth from 8.60 (all other was from
8.61) network is started as expected. But when I downgraded to 8.60 and update
to 8.61 problem is not reproducable!. All steps written above was done without
reboot. When you reboot now you will see problem again. I'm not sure what's going on

Comment 6 Adam Tkac 2008-02-15 09:18:22 UTC
Is known any workaround with initscripts >= 8.61-1? What is correct way to setup
bridge with newest initscripts?

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2008-02-15 19:34:01 UTC
Hm, a test bridge worked for me fine. Is the ethernet device actually named
peth0 beforehand?

Device was named eth0 so this was main problem. I'm not sure why such broken
configuration worked long time ago and now it causes problems. I fixed my
configuration and now it works as expected. Thanks for your hint, closing
