[Mageia-dev] systemd network.service issues

Fri Mar 16 04:45:02 CET 2012

Hi all!
+
+So, I've just upgraded my home server to mga2/cauldron.
+
+Something seems fishy in the network.service handling, systemd thinks it
+has failed:
+
+# systemctl status network.service
+network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking

+
+Any ideas? If not, I'll investigate this myself later.
+
+
+On a related note, I also got dropped to emergency console on first
+boot, not sure why was that (it didn't tell me the reason... maybe the
+reason was in another virtual console, but I didn't remember to check
+there at the time). I just exited the console and it continued to boot...
+
+I see the following in systemctl --failed:
+
+# systemctl --failed

+dhcp have mostly replaced both of them.
