Removing > network-manager would be so simple!! Ok, considering that your previous setup was DHCP I would try setting up the connection "manually". # dhclient eth0 If this fails (and please post the error messages) you could even try to set it up manually (this time without the quotes): # ifconfig eth0 192.168.... netmask 255.255.255.0 up # route add default gw 192.168..... # echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' > /etc/resolv.conf (this of course assumes you can get the relevant information about the local network) If this works you'll know the basic infrastructure works and you can look at why ifupdown is failing. BTW, did you try reinstalling it? What does dpkg think about it: $ dpkg -l ifupdown Other things to check: $ aptitude search '?broken' $ dpkg --audit Check also the output of 'mount' and compare to /etc/fstab. See also that /run exists (it should be a tmpfs). Did you try booting text only? For kdm the simplest method seems to be # update-rc.d kdm disable ; reboot (you can reverse this with 'enable' or 'defaults') Hope this helps, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
