Bug#456197: Inconsistent numbering of eth-devices - Loss of network connectivity

2007-12-13 Thread Uwe Dippel
Package: udev Version: 0.105-4 After replacing NIC broken by thunderstorm, eth has moved from eth0 to eth2. (It took me close to 1 hour to rectify the situation: not having any network, because the system does not follow suit.) udev seems to be the culprit: what was eth0 (single eth) becomes eth2

package: lpr version: 2006.11.04 Upgrade from Sarge to Etch purged my working lpr, a re-install of lpr failed. I had suspected udev (refer to #422177), but it turned out to be a problem of lpr, forgetting 'modprobe lp'. Which solved the matter. To me, the time of users having to issue something

I *guess* I'm sitting on the same problem, though here the report would read slightly differently: Had this since I added 2.6.8-1 to 2.6.7: 2.6.8 starts and kind-of freezes after some lines of kernel-error-messages; after mounting the harddisk. Didn't bother, hoping that it would go away with the
