Hi,

I am not wuiet sure, but I guess, I do have the excat same bug in gutsy-tribe 5 on 2 different machines.

I also did an init 1, umounted /var/run/var/lock, and as described above, the directories were not empty. So I deleted all the files. But on next reboot, everything was there, again.

I can not use NetworkManager (which works on my first macine as a workaround), because I use a very complex /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

mapping eth0 # lan
        script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
        map lan-home
        map default: default-net
        map timeout: 20
        map verbose: true

mapping eth1 # wlan
        script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
        map wlan-home
        map wlan-home2
        map wlan-fh
        map default: default-net
        map timeout: 20
        map verbose: true

#
## lan
#
iface lan-home inet dhcp
        test1 peer address 192.168.3.1 mac 00:12:17:15:F5:CC
        post-up /etc/init.d/openvpn start licherstr
        pre-down /etc/init.d/openvpn stop licherstr

#
## wlan
#
iface wlan-home inet dhcp
        test1 wireless essid "RNS"
        pre-up /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon start
        post-up /etc/init.d/openvpn start licherstr
        pre-down /etc/init.d/openvpn stop licherstr
        post-down /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon stop

iface wlan-home2 inet dhcp
        test1 wireless essid "RNS_FSt12"
        pre-up /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon start
        post-up /etc/init.d/openvpn start licherstr
        pre-down /etc/init.d/openvpn stop licherstr
        post-down /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon stop

iface wlan-fh inet dhcp
        test1 wireless essid "FHGIFB2"
        pre-up /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon start
        post-up /etc/init.d/openvpn start licherstr
        pre-down /etc/init.d/openvpn stop licherstr
        post-down /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon stop

#
## Default
#
iface default-net inet dhcp
        pre-up /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon start
        post-up /etc/init.d/openvpn start licherstr
        pre-down /etc/init.d/openvpn stop licherstr
        post-down /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant.init-daemon stop

The file wpasupplicant.init-daemon is taken from /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples and modified for my device eth1.

Everytime after having logged into gnome session, I have to open a terminal and run ifup eth1 (Running ifdown eth1 before, I get the information: Device has not been configured, yet. Or similar message).

Important: The exactly same setup was working absolutely fine under Feisty. So this is a Gutsy bug.

What I tested:

cd /etc
mv initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-old
dpkg --force-depends -P initramfs-tools
aptitude install initramfs-tools
Removing the -old folder
Rebooted

Because mountkernfs.sh is in rcS.d as S01, I guess the problem is created in the initrd.

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 2007-09-27 19:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 140 root root 12288 2007-09-28 11:19 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   785 2007-09-21 09:11 README
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    24 2007-02-27 17:12 S01mountkernfs.sh -> ../init.d/mountkernfs.sh
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    20 2007-02-27 17:12 S40networking -> ../init.d/networking
[...]

As you can see, there _should_ be no problem

Thanks
