Bug#243448: 243448 - updated info
workaround to get network functional again. from
memory, hopefully accurate :)
modprobe 8139too
/etc/init.d/networking restart
nano -w /etc/modules
(add line that reads...)
8139too
base-config
base-config terminated with an exim4 not running, so i
rebooted and ran it again just to make sure nothing
was missed. that time it exited with something like
exim4 configuration reloaded. so i figure that was ok.
network functioning, even after reboot. added contrib
and non-free to sources, 'apt-get update' works, as
did update of base-system packages (2 total) during
base-config.
a couple of reboots and small package installs (things
like elinks) and things still ok.
however, this does not answer the question as to what
package in the recent updates to the base-system is
causing the problem.
i am starting a new install using beta3 to see if it
still occurs with it too. in previous install runs
with beta3 (on or after last sunday/easter), network
isnt lost until after first reboot after base-config
(and base-system packages are update) finishes. that
is why i think it's caused by a recent update to a
package in the base-system.
will post another follow up with beta3 progress in a
bit.
thanks to liz for the help via email.. :)
