RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
- by LinuxPenseur
When my system boots up it shows the following message.
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
[ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
[ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth2: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
[ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth3: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
[ OK ]
Why is this happening. Normally it does not give the message RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
I did ifconfig and the output is

What could be the reason for the message and how to change this to normal?
Thanks
