I'll start by saying I haven't used Voyage MPD however the problem is likely the same as I saw in the daily build when I tested that a while back. The problem is most likely related to a udev rule located at /etc/udev/rules.d/<br /><br />This can happen when the persistent-net.rules file gets copied from one system to another. I'm going to guess you probably just made an image of the CF using DD.<br /><br />This problem had shown up in some earlier releases as well but it was usually taken care of by the time a stable release was made. If you want you should be ble to delete the persistent-net.rules file from /etc/udev/rules.d/ it should be named something like: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules<br /><br />-Mike R<br /><br /><br />

<blockquote class="email_quote" style="border-left: 2px solid #267fdb; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 1.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I'm pretty new when it comes to using Voyage with an Alix board but I thought I'd share something that I experienced that perhaps someone can explain to me as I'm not a Linux guru and know enough to be dangerous. :)<br /><br />A friend recently lent me his Alix box running Voyage MPD to try out and asked that I create a new image on my own CF card so as not to alter his network settings. This was not a problem and it worked as expected including mounting an SMB share on a Windows box where my music files currently live. Everything worked great and I promptly ordered up an Alix board and case.<br /><br />My surprise came when I put my existing CF card in the new board and powered it up. Logging into the router I didn't see it getting a dhcp address. Thinking perhaps I'd gotten a bad board I dug through my old stuff and came up with a couple of 9 pin serial cables and spliced them together this morning to make a null modem cable so I could see if it was alive or dead. The good news is that it was booting up just fine but I noticed in the console messages that it was renaming eth0 to eth3 and eth1 to eth2 and when it tried to start eth0 and get a dhcp address, it received a device not found error since eth0 no longer existed. I was able to edit /etc/network/interfaces and change eth0 to eth3 and it happily picked up an address which I then reserved in my dhcp server. Everything works fine but I'm curious as why this happened.<br /><br />My guess is that when I used the CF image on the other Alix board it recorded the MAC addresses of the ports and it's reassigning these so there is no conflict. This is a total guess as I don't know enough about Linux to know but it was the only thing I could think of that made sense. <br /><br />Any thoughts would be welcome so I can further my understanding. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Mike G.<br /><br /><br /></span><br />
