Thanks, the contents pointed to the Realtek NIC. Renamed the file and everything is back to eth0.

I have the feeling that FF is resolving adresses very slowly now. Is there an easy way to generate a new rule for the Intel NIC?

Thanks, rolfie

MTA = Mail Transfer Agent, typically exim. Starting up exim can take a while when no network is detected until some timeouts have passed.

@OP: as you say you are using a LVM, then the message is normal. As long as the LVM finally is opened, everything is fine.

If you have been using apt update/upgrade regularly since installation, you have an up to date ASCII installation, which only has very minor differences to the 2.1 point release. i.e. if you have selected openrc during your initial installation, you still got it and its up to date. If you want to install it now and change to using it, it is more work to do.

Under normal circumstances there is no point in re-installing with 2.1 if you are happy and have not totally screwed your system. This point release has the charm that when you do a fresh installation, you have an easier access to openrc and you have much less updates that need to be installed vs a 2.0 installation. Thats it.

I'm running two PCs at home that have been installed with a 2.0 beta which is my wifes PC and mine that was build after the release of 2.0. Both work fine and are up to date without re-installation.

Looks like you need to invest some time to understand the various terms and definitions.

Here are some hints: https://devuan.org/os/
Jessie = Oldstable, ASCII = Stable. Unfortunately Devuan has dropped all hints to Beowulf and Ceres on the main pages.

Have a look at this page: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/
When you look through the options from the drop down list, you see that Beowulf is Testing, and Ceres is Unstable.

Your sources.list does not point to Testing:

This belongs to ASCII, refer to https://devuan.org/os/

If you want Testing there, you have two options:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main [contrib non-free]
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing main [contrib non-free]

Both options are possible, but I need to warn you: having that in the sources.list and running apt update/apt upgrade will cause havoc.

You better read a lot how to configure the sources before you start to install individual packages from different releases.

Good luck, rolfie

A first look at gateway and DNS of the two connections?

When booting past expanding the initramfs, you should see a message about init 2.88 starting and two lines deeper openrc 0.23 starting

rolfie

How did you select openrc?

Read https://devuan.org/os/.

That will not help on its own.

You need to:
1.) Modify your sources list to ASCII repository
2.) apt update
3.) apt upgrade
4.) apt dist-upgrade

Search the web for instructions how to update from release to a later release.

Addition: Mate shows a popup telling me:

Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sr0: command-line "mount"/Media/cdrom0" exitet with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing code page or helper program, or other error. 

There is a hint to look into syslog, or dmesg, but there is no entry present.

Writing under Win7 works.

Have successfully used devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso from one of the mirrors listed on https://devuan.org/get-devuan, also the CD or the netinstall version, cannot complain about the installer, it worked. There is no bug. You may also load the file directly from https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/installer-iso/.

Make sure your download is fine by checking the hash.

You say you got a newer PC. I would assume that PC has an EFI bios. Make sure you boot the DVD in the same mode the bios is set up, i.e. normally if the bios is set to CSM mode, or by boot override in EFI mode.

Good luck, Rolf

Well, I have made the experience that I should always removed all other media with OS installations and all USB sticks if I want a clean install. grub always gave me issues when I forgot to follow that rule.
