[Voyage-linux] networking has broken

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hello Guys,

 

I've had a system returned to me from a client today which didn't appear to
be connecting to their network. I've connected the system here and it also
does the same. I've booted and connected a serial cable to watch the process
and note the following error being thrown during boot:

 

Activating swapfile swap...done.

Setting up networking.../etc/rcS.d/S39ifupdown: line 85:
/etc/network/run/ifstate: Input/output error

Failure initializing /etc/network/run/ifstate failed!

 failed!

Configuring network interfaces...ifup: failed to open statefile
/etc/network/run/ifstate: Input/output error

failed.

Starting portmap daemon....

 

This is a Voyage 0.5.2 system running on an ALIX 3d2 and it has been working
just fine and now all of a sudden it's got this issue. I have seen it in the
past but never had the patience to find a solution so just rebuilt the
system and sent it back out.

 

Can anyone suggest what this is? Or how it might be solved?

 

Many thanks guys.

 

Rob
