Hi, We have redhat 7.1 installed on the laptop, while booting the machine its giving "network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed" error message but network is working ( I was able to use telnet, ssh service from other computer). We are using Linksys network card. How will I disable this error message. boot.log file output: Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce sysctl: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 0 Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce network: Setting network parameters: succeeded Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce network: Bringing up interface lo: succeeded Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce ifup: Delaying eth0 initialization.
