I always boot to level 3, and for all these tests,
logged on as root. (My initial experience with
computers long predates GUI's of any kind; I
consider them a necessary evil.) I tried your
ifconfig suggestion, and eth0 is just fine, (as
are the tap devices for openvpn). This is not a
surprise, since immediately after boot I can
restart ntpd and get a rapid sync. Of course, I
can't be sure the network is up during the boot when
ntpd tries to sync. It should be according to the
order of things. I suppose I could create a fake
demon file in init.d and run ifconfig during the
boot? What do you think?
I don't know what you mean by "older network startup
mechanism". Is this something I should try? In
case this is relevant, I do not start NetworkManager.
BTW:
[root]# fixfiles onboot
Usage: /sbin/fixfiles [-l logfile ] [-o outputfile ] { check | restore|[-
F] relabel } [[dir] ... ]
or
Usage: /sbin/fixfiles -R rpmpackage[,rpmpackage...] -C
PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT [-l logfile ] [-o outputfile ] { check | restore }
This may be because my FC7 is old. As suggested in
other posts, it may be time to upgrade. Still, it
would be interesting to figure out what the problems
is (if it could be done with only moderate effort).
Mike.
