Pi 2 won't boot after update

As described in an earlier post I also had this problem. I temporary fixed it for my situation by not disabling ipv6.

But it seems to be in the little details, so here is my setup
systemd version: 219-6
router: Fritzbox 7490
interface: eth0 (wired!)
ipv4: static configuration (so not using DHCP)
ipv6: currently enabled

Static ipv4 IP address works for me, too. No downgrade nessessary. Thanks for the workarround!

[yershov]

I highly doubt it has something to do with Fritzbox or static IP. In my case, it fails to initialize eth0 with DHCP configuration when connected to any router (I've tried WRT-54g, and industrial class cisco at work). Also it fails to initialize usb0 with static IP setup through g-ether. This bug is very intermittent, which can manifest itself under different conditions, but it doesn't mean that the problem is in router or static address.

@moonman: Upgraded kernel to 4.0.1-1-ARCH. Afterwards upgraded both systemd and systemd-sysvcompat to 219-6. Bug persists: systemd cannot bring up eth0 and usb0 at boot.

It looks like this is a known bug:

@moonman: Please ignore my previous message, I've looked at old logs in journalctl. Upgrading kernel to 4.0.1-1-ARCH resolved the issue. Thanks!

Hello,

I also had the same problem with my odroid u3, but my workaround is not really the same, so mods don't hesitate to delete this post if you find my answer not apropriate.
After upgrading to systemd 219-6, I had the following error in my systemd-networkd logs:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd.service')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
....
May 15 15:41:11 any systemd-networkd[170]: eth0 : eth0 : could not bring up interface: Operation not supported
.....
')
Static ipv4 address was not working either because systemd could not brink eth0 up.
The workaround was for me to do edit the systemd-networkd service and add the following code :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# systemctl edit systemd-networkd.service')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Service]
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/ip link set eth0 up')

Thanks for this thread which was the starting point for my problem !

Are there drawbacks in using the generic Armv7 kernel for the RaspberryPi?

I had the same problem.

I think it works bitter with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ip link set eth0 up
')
as it avoids a temporary error message while bringing up the service.

After more than a month the problem still exists
