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
          Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network)
          Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri, 16 Mar 2012

Trying to restart it I seem to hit other issues:

Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.

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

SYSV: The bootparamd server allows older Sun workstations to net boot
from Linux boxes. It (along with rarp) is rarely used anymore; bootp and
dhcp have mostly replaced both of them.
