I have not seen this before but this is on all kernels until now. Network will not start on Mac mini if there is no Monitor attached.
Other Intel systems i have checked, the network will be enabled without a Monitor.
What are the contents of any /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* file? If you have ONBOOT=no in there, that's a result of using the DVD installer, which does not enable networking by default since you didn't use the network to install from. If so, change that to ONBOOT=yes and you'll get networking automatically brought up. If you have no ifcfg-* files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, then you don't have any networking configuration, and thus there's nothing to bring up. Let me know!
I have "ONBOOT=yes" in my ifcfg-eth0. The network doesn't start only if there is no monitor connected! If there is a monitor connected, the network starts.
Can you attach/paste the following for me when the problem occurs? 1) any /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* file 2) output of 'ifconfig -a' 3) /var/log/messages thanks!
I close this bug because i think this is an problem of the Mac itself. It will not start if no monitor is connected.
