Oh, interesting. I changed the 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up' to 'ifup
lo' and now it runs only in live-cd mode as it should be working on
hd-installations - due to autostartup of networking - in any case.
Hmmmm. :)
What does:
# grep -e ifup -e network /etc/runlevel.conf
return? As a reference take a look at:
# grep -e ifup -e network /etc/runlevel.conf.hdinstall
15 - 0,6 /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown
18 - S /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean
35 - S /etc/init.d/networking
36 - S /etc/init.d/ifupdown
Is anything missing on your system?
If not a "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up" put into
/etc/init.d/bootlocal.last should fix the issue in the meantime for
your.
But I'd be happy to find the reason for the problem on your box.

(Please notice that I'm offline for a few days starting with
tomorrow [wednesday]. So sorry for delay then - but I'll read all
your mails afterwards of course.)
