   Thanks I figured it out by reading the errors several times and going to   
   those lines in the scripts. (go figure reading the error :)   
      
   /etc/conf.d/net   
   config_eth0=( "dhcp" )   
   dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"   
      
      
   /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start   
      
   * Caching service dependencies ...                                    [ ok ]   
     * Starting eth0   
      *   Bringing up eth0   
       *     dhcp   
        *       Running dhclient ...   
        /lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 221: read: read error: 0: Is a   
   directory   
        /lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-daemon.sh: line 221: read: read error: 0: Is a   
   directory   
   (repeats)   
      
   so yes I have 0 as dhclient and 1 as static.   
   Problem with eth0 was /var/run contained a directory dhclient...pid instead   
   of file. Removed it and eth0 would start.   
   Problem with eth1 or the static was the old net.eth1 script was there   
   instead of a link to net.lo.  Removed script created link and it is fine.   
   Something must have broken down in the upgrade.   
   Thanks for responses.
