Re: Can't Boot after latest Feisty Upgrade

I have just about come to the conclusion that I'm not smart enough to
use Linux as the OS on my system.

I have a very fundamental question about the suggestions that I have
been receiving. When do I need to go through the update process again?
For example, when I edit the /etc/network/interfaces, do I need to do go
through the update process again before I reboot to check out the
results of the edits that I made. It's not clear to me if editing a
data file (e.g. /etc/network/interfaces) effects the boot process of
whatever kernel I boot, or, do I have to edit the data file and also
build a new kernel after editing for the changes to take effect?

I have included below, the messages in the dmesg log that show the
delays I reported. I have included several messages before and after
each large increment in the time field. These are extracts from the
log. I would be happy to provide the entire log, but, it is 7 pages
long. Can you include attachments in emails to this list?

Thanks,
John

Can you post your /var/log/boot and also your /etc/network/interfaces

The files you asked for follow later in this post.

The /var/log/boot file is strange in that it has only entries for Feb.
14. Did you intend to ask for /var/log/bootstrap? That one has a lot
of entries about pre-dependency problems.

I was hoping for a current one. Mine is updated on each boot & to be
honest I can't remember how I turned it on.


I have also examined the Dmesg log at Peter Garrett's suggestion and
have found some strange (at least strange to me) happenings. I have
identified 2 minutes and 18 seconds of unexplained delays.

Can you post those delays?

The files that you wanted to sww follow:

Do you have all of those interfaces? If not, I would suggest that you
edit to only one interface right now. During boot the system will look
for each one & can cause significate delay if it doesn't find each one.
Eventually it will time out & move one to the next.


/etc/network/interfaces


auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



iface eth0 inet dhcp


auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp


auto eth2

iface eth2 inet dhcp


auto ath0

iface ath0 inet dhcp


auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp



iface ppp0 inet ppp

provider ppp0
