Thank you; the information you gave was helpful.
I checked a bit more; in short, eth0 does not come up on boot, but seems to take a while
interfaces that take ages to come up are usually waiting for some dhcp server to answer.. 8-)
Your eth0 should configure nearly instantly, or else something is amiss. Here is your problem to solve, IMO.
Perhaps post a bit more diagnostics of this phase of the bootup.
Restarting networking, esp eth0, brings it up fine, and then I can manually launch dhcpd, after which all responds as it should. I'm able to ping the eth0 address (192.168.1.254) both from itself and from another machine (which obtained its IP from the dhcp server).
Bering Gurus are needed here.
Good luck.
