Hi,
I made a fresh installation of openSUSE 12.1 (64bit) and have now some trouble with the
start of the network, it doesn’t start after a reboot of the server automatically.
If I try to start it with “/etc/init.d/network start” it doesn’t start, but if I use the command
with the debug option “/etc/init.d/network start -o debug” it works?!
Any ideas?
regards
Achim
I’d suggest you give a look to dmesg and /var/log/messages.
Do you see anything network related there?
Hi,
after the command “/etc/init.d/network restart” we can see following messages in the logfile:

May it’s important to know, that we made the installation in a VMWARE environment.

Hi,
I have just enabled IPv6 and it works now?!

i think 12.1 is default installed with IPv6 enabled, so i wonder how
yours got disabled?

openSUSE®, the “German Engineered Automobiles” of operating systems!
I think this might have something in common with this bug :
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=685627
But that’s just a wild guess.

Hi,
we have disabled the IPv6, because we are using only IPv4 in our intranet
and we don’t want unnecessary traffic. If the network was started successfull,
there were no further problems.
regards
Achim
That’s what I fought, but from what I understand in the bug report it’s impossible to disable ipv6 because of the bug in glibc. What’s worse it seems that every up to date distribution (not just openSUSE) is affected. I guess ipv6 will be disabled when using a custom kernel without ipv6 but that’s quite an overkill for simply disabling it.
Best regards,
Greg
it is not IPv6
