Yup, that was it.
It happened because /etc/network/interfaces didn't require "auto"
statements in potato for the interfaces to actually start up. I added
auto lo
before the exising
iface lo inet loopback
and all was well. Infuriatingly, I had already sorted this out for eth0
and didn't think to do the same for loopback. Duh.
Thanks again!
