What distribution are you using? I had this exact same problem with
Debian frozen only two days ago, after I updated to the latest freeze.
Basically, the old network setup script /etc/init.d/network breaks on
loopback, and they now use /etc/init.d/interfaces (iirc). You have to
comment out all the commands in /etc/init.d/network, and uncomment the
loopback and eth0 lines in /etc/init.d/interfaces.
However, if it's another distro, then none of this will help you ;)
