I've had the same problem both on i386 and amd64 and I've found out that it is triggered when the content of /etc/network/run/ifstate is not reflecting what you have in /etc/network/interfaces. This happens when you manually change the name of some virtual interfaces (ethX:). You can reproduce this by copying the content of /etc/network/interfaces from a production machine to a test host and reboot (while you do not touch ifstates which is updated automatically). I've debugged this by adding -v to ifup call in /etc/init.d/networking. Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
