If I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart then :

Reconfiguring network interfaces... ifconfig: cannot resolv 'down': Host
name lookup failure
SIOCDELRT: No such process
ifconfig: only one address alowed for interface 'lo'
Usage: ifconfig [OPTION]... [SYSTEM OPTION]...
Try ifconfig --help for more information.
failed to connect to localhost:bootpc: Network is unreachable
Done.

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I have tried setting a static IP address for eth0 and it fails just like
lo with the same error if I do. (i.e. ifconfig: only one address alowed
for interface 'eth0')

On fscking what are the tools one uses with a REISERFS based system ???
(Always lived in a ext2/3 world untill recently).
