/etc/network/run/ifstate problem (Lenny)

kopla · 09-11-2009, 01:44 AM

Hi

Sorry, but my english is not very well.

I compiled new kernel(2.6.30.5).
When I'm booting kernel:

Code:

Setting up networking....
Configuring network interfaces...ifup: failed to lock statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate: Permission denied

That is why my network doesn't work.

I tried to give all rights to ifstate file and run directory but it didn't help. I also tried fsck.

How can I fix this?

How are the permissions?

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 2009-09-11 10:10 /etc/network/run/ifstate

Here are the permissions:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 1970-01-01 02:00 etc/network/run/ifstate

What happens if you start the network manually?

When I start the network manually (/etc/init.d/networking start) I get same error

Code:

Configuring network interfaces...ifup: failed to lock statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate: Permission denied
failed.

What could be wrong?

Did you compiled your own kernel?
try

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall ifupdown

thank you for answering but
it just kernel compile problem
the system is running fine with 2.6.26 kernel

i dont find the option with the new kernel 2.6.32 (make oldconfig)

The new system is unable to lock any state file: dpkg, ifup ...
(POSIX lock added, BSD account, Sys V, ext2, ...)

It's almost undoubtedly a bug.

I finally downloaded the stable version 2.6.31.4
compile (oldconfig) with Block turned on and now it's ok.
Thank you
