possible grave bug in debian-installer or ifupdown?
Hi,
Two or three weeks ago I installed the current latest Debian/Testing on
two different servers. Last week I had to reboot both and noticed that
none of them appeared back in the network again. I checked them locally
and noticed that on both boxes the network interface was not brought up.
I issued:
# ifup eth0
manually on both boxes but nothing happened. I checked
/etc/network/interfaces on both boxes and noticed the following line:
allow-hotplug eth0
after replacing it with
auto eth0
the problem was fixed. Since I used a standard minimal installation on
two different boxes, I wonder if this is a bug in d-i or ifupdown. So am
I missing something obvious or do we have a grave bug?
Any hints?
Cheers,
Bastian
