Magnus,

This fixed the original problem but re-introduced the problem I had
before with not having a a working nic - so it's stole broken atm:

[    2.220263] NET: Registered protocol family 17
[    2.224976] RPC: Registered udp transport module.
[    2.228064] RPC: Registered tcp transport module.
[    2.740995] IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
