The only thing the auto does is make ifup bring up the interface as boot, exactly as it does when you run 'ifup lo' by hand. > > run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d > > ifup -v lo only produces the output: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up > ....not very "verbose" Presumably that's all the command is doing. Verbose enough. > Aside from not being verbose, these commands seem to work fine. This leads me to think that the problem is somehow linked to the lo interface being brought up at a specific point in the boot process. Since the same commands work at a later point, it must be somehow order-dependent. -- see shy jo
