Error but network works. Why?

Goodmorning.

During the boot of arch, an error occurs:
my IP number: error fecthing interface information:device not found.

Before, during the network module load, warning appears.

But after boot finalizes, network works fine.
Why occur the error message, if the network works?

Thanks.
ciao.
Luca.

Re: Error but network works. Why?

Can you post your module configuration in both modprobe.conf and rc.conf??

Re: Error but network works. Why?

I have to say you have several problem with your configuration.


You have to load net card module in modprobe.conf OR in rc.conf, not in both. So remeove sis900 in one of these line
rc.conf

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi sis900 usb-storage sd_mod sr_mod) 

modprobe.conf

alias eth0 sis900 

Secondly there is an error in the rc.conf

lo="nnnnnnnnnn" #lo="lo 127.0.0.1" 

I gues nnnnnnnn means you changed with something
lo is for loopback interface and is always 127.0.0.1

OT
I saw you miss the appropiate console font in rc.conf, add this:

CONSOLEFONT=lat1-16.psfu.gz
