Network service error

[pivo1408]

Hello everyone,

I am encountering an issue with a Dell PowerEdge R760 server running Proxmox: the networking service fails to start whenever the server boots up. I have checked, and the OS is correctly recognizing the driver. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to resolve this.

Thank you all.

Thread 'ifupdown2 fun after upgrade'

Mar 3, 2026

I upgraded a bookworm/pve8 system to trixie/pve9 using dist-upgrade, and cleaned old packages using autoremove.
In addition, I purged all packages with state "rc", to get rid of all old stuff, my standard upgrade practice.

After reboot, there was no network. ifup ens8303 didn't work either: "Another instance of this program is already running". Well, no...
It turns out that ifupdown2 tries to lock "/run/network/.lock", but fails because there's no directory /run/network.

Unfortunately, mkdir /run/network won't survive a reboot, so I changed argv.py to use /run/network.lock as lockfile...

Please post any relevant output of journalctl right before it messages about the dependency failure.
Also post the output of pveversion and your network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces) so we know a bit more about your system.

@pivo1408 Did you find and fix the issue? I'm having trouble with my XXV710-DA2 as well, not in a HP server though.
