Hello,

I currently have RedHat 9.0 Installed on my 2 servers.
Both are acting really bizarre at system restarts.
I can only setup my network manually, anything else fails AND when I reboot, all the configuration I have went through is ignored and my eth0 isn't brought up.

I am a newb with RedHat so, I don't know what logs are okay or not...
I will post all logs needed when asked.

I do now that I have these messages in /var/log/messages
Dec 4 09:40:37 ns1 kernel: Intel

PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.0.43-k1
Dec 4 09:40:37 ns1 kernel: Copyright

...
Dec 4 09:40:37 ns1 ifup: failed.
Dec 4 09:40:37 ns1 network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed

And if I try a services iptables save i get:
Dec 4 10:31:31 ns1 vsftpd: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor

Thank you very much.

Try typing dmesg at the command prompt and sift through the "wreckage" of you system startup to find any errors that occured that the system did not tell you about.
