All, After update that installed systemd, chrooting the system successfully starts the network and eth0 is present. However, when booting natively to the system no eth0 is present. Attempting /etc/rc.d/network restart results in "Device eth0 does not exist." According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd, until I append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd to the kernel line and reboot, the system should still process the initscripts normally. However this does not occur. 'cat /proc/1/comm' still shows 'init' so I cannot figure out why I do not have an eth0.
Appending init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd does bring up systemd and the system boots until X starts and the system hangs. It still responds to ctrl+alt+del, but will not switch to the graphical interface. It is just stuck. Is there a way to bring eth0 up under the old initscripts until I get the X hang sorted out? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
