Booting with an iphone attached

hendry · 2012-08-29 19:20:52

I charge my iphone from my Archlinux X220 and when I boot with it attached I have headaches, despite having a UDEV rule to try ensure e1000e is *always* on eth0.

As you can see from this log: https://gist.github.com/3517356

e1000e gets put on eth1
the udev rule doesn't work

*Help*. Thanks!

I think the iphone has nothing to do with it. A lot of people have been hit with network device naming issues lately. From what I understand, the only solution and the only option long-term is to use a name other than ethX for all devices. I moved to netX for my four wired nics:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net3"

I would rather think the iPhone is causing a re-ordering of your hard disks and that your system doesn't find the correct bootdevice?

What makes you think the bootdevice is wrong? I boot up Arch just fine ...

LABEL=nocti / ext4 defaults 0 1

Just to clarify, when I said 'the iphone has nothing to do with it' I meant the iphone qua iphone. As I understand the situation, anything that caused a new eth device to be created would have the same effect.

Arch Linux
