I had such issues when using suse 9.3 inside vmware very often - typically removing network configuration completely in yast and re-adding it fixed it for me - but sometimes it re-appeared, though - and i never knew, why.
Due to lack of time, i never dug into the device detection routines in depth, but i assume there must be some issue in older suse with that routines around "Waiting for mandatory devices" ..... It seems, that this has gone better in more recent distros, but i see that problem from time to time.
You may also try setting MODULE_LOADED_ON_BOOT in /etc/sysconfig/kernel , please report if this helps
## Path: System/Kernel ## Description: Modules to load after initial boot ## Type: string ## ServiceRestart: boot.loadmodules # # This variable contains the list of modules to be loaded # once the main filesystem is active # MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=""
Just came across this one - maybe it`s worth taking a look: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Waiting_for_Mandatory_Device

I am having a problem with 2.6.20 based kernels on SUSE 9.3. It boots fine except that the network card is not detected at boot time. After the system boots I can "modprobe <nic module>" and the network comes up fine.
I am having this same problem on two different Suse 9.3 systems, one is a a dual Xeon the other is an AMD Athlon. I have no such problems on Suse 10.1 systems on similar hardware. Kernels prior to 2.6.20-rc? work fine on these systems.
The dual Xeon is using a 3Com card with the sk98lin driver. 0000:06:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell] (rev 10)
The Athlon is using a SIS900 with the sis900 driver. 0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91)
I get the following when the system is booting:
Setting up network interfaces: lo lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 doneWaiting for mandatory devices: eth-id-00:01:6c:ad:2b:c9 19 18 17 <notice>startproc: execve (/opt/kde3/bin/kdm) [ /opt/kde3/bin/kdm ], [ LC_MONETARY= CONSOLE=/dev/console ROOTFS_FSTYPE=reiserfs SHELL=/bin/sh TERM=linux ROOTFS_FSCK=0 LC_NUMERIC= QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 LC_ALL= INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.85 INIT=/sbin/init KDEROOTHOME=/root/.kdm REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=128 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/klibc/bin LC_MESSAGES= vga=0x317 RUNLEVEL=5 LC_COLLATE= SPLASHCFG= PWD=/ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ROOTFS_REALDEV=/lib/klibc//dev/hda2 PREVLEVEL=N LINES=48 SHLVL=2 HOME=/ XCURSOR_THEME=crystalwhite WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 SPLASH=no splash=silent LC_TIME= ROOTFS_BLKDEV=/dev/hda2 _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm ] <notice>checkproc: /opt/kde3/bin/kdm 4094 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 1 0 eth-id-00:01:6c:ad:2b:c9 No interface found failedSetting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .failed
I am attaching my config for the SMP system. Any ideas? Pointers?
Thanks,
