Mailing List Archive: [Fwd: Re: lo doesn't come up]

Sten,
The 'auto lo' itself wont do it. Do you have 'iface lo inet loopback' on
the next line? If that doesnt help you may want to try configuring it as a
static ip at 127.0.0.1 Also as a quick fix(you probably know this) you
should be able to 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1' after boot and have it
work(dirty hack = put this in rc.local or whatever the debian equivalent is.)

Hope this helps.

That's it! debootstrap didn't populate /etc/hosts with the address for
the loopback device, so there wasn't an address to assign to the
interface. lo is up at boot now, but SSH still doesn't start at boot
(and yes, I did make sure it's set to start up by my default runlevel).
I'll have to look into that one further; just getting used to
debootstrap, I guess. Thanks!
