Hello!

Since recently, I cannot bring up the loopback device at
the first attempt. Running net.lo fails like this:

alexander@blatt ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/net.lo start
 * Starting lo
 *   Bringing up lo
 *     127.0.0.1/8
SIOCSIFADDR: File exists
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address                             [ !! ]

When I run the command right again, it wokrs just fine:

alexander@blatt ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/net.lo start
 * Starting lo
 *   Bringing up lo
 *     127.0.0.1/8                                                        [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     127.0.0.0/8 ...                                                    [ ok ]

alexander@blatt ~ $ uname -a
Linux blatt 2.6.12-ck6.020.sysvipc #1 Fri Aug 26 18:19:03 CEST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor         1.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
alexander@blatt ~ $ epm -qf /etc/init.d/net.lo
baselayout-1.12.0_pre7

Any ideas, why this might be like this?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

um, why are you having to start loopback by hand?  does it fail to  
start on boot?

I had the same problem.  I did an emerge sync and emerge -uDva world. 
There was a new version of baselayout from the one this morning when I
did an update so I installed it and everything works fine now.
