Thanks Stroller, I had to somehow use my own Gentoo image when I first installed these as they didn't officially provide any, glad to hear they do now. >> First - are you using 'Auto Configure Networking' (is it enabled >> or disabled in your Linode options)? > > Enabled. > > /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net both say "This file is > automatically generated on each boot with your Linode's current > network configuration." > > I'm not sure I'd dare change it, to be honest. Well, I'm not so worried about that since you can always access the VM using the LISH console to change something like that back. I'll experiment with this on my Dev VM that isn't mission critical. I migrated it last night, and it came up just fine, so hopefully my Production VM will be just as painless. >> Second, do you have rc_sys defined, or are you using auto-detect (is it >> just commented out)? > > Just commented out. This is the one I'm worried about - how to change it back if it totally breaks the ability to even boot.
