This is a stab in the dark, but recently when an emerge upgraded udev, I got a warning message that CONFIG_FHANDLE wasn't set in my kernel config. (This is in General setup, prompt "open by fhandle syscalls".) Without this setting, I got errors on booting, and indeed my ethernet connection didn't come up. After setting CONFIG_FHANDLE and rebuilding my kernel, the problem went away. Might you have this same problem? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
