This probably means that ifup thought the interface was already up -- ie there was an "eth0" entry in /etc/network/ifstate. This is supposed to be cleared on bootup, so should only still be there if eth0 was brought up. Hard to say much more from a distance though. > I checked > /etc/network/interfaces on both boxes and noticed the following line: > allow-hotplug eth0 > after replacing it with > auto eth0 allow-hotplug interfaces will only be brought up by hotplug (or manually); you might've deinstall hotplug and replaced it with udev, which would probably give that result. > I wonder if this is a bug in d-i or ifupdown. If you're not using hotplug, using "allow-hotplug" is the bug. If eth0 isn't up after a boot, but "ifup eth0" does nothing, there's a bug there too. Cheers, aj
