I'm not sure if this is related at all.. but, I noticed looking through the upgrade notices for 2.0.0 that the following was listed: Network errors with recent kernels ================================== Many default network scripts are set up to add a route to the localhost at 127.0.0.1 at startup. However, they do this incorrectly. To fix the error, which is now spotted by the kernel (causing many daemons to quit working), look for a line like `route add -net 127.0.0.1' in your network configuration files and change it to `route add -net 127.0.0.0'. This error is present in all Red Hat distributions (and derivative distributions like Caldera). If you're running one of these, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-lo, changing the line `route add -net $(IPADDR)' to `route add -net 127.0.0.0' and you should be fine. Since I haven't yet installed 2.0.0 myself, I can't test out what the problem might be. But, perhaps this may help. Cheers!
