Software :: Samba Refuses To Start On Startup - But Will Start Manually

I just moved my / from sda1 to an ide drive, hde1. i dont see how this could have caused any of these issues, but it did.

First my network card failed to start. i added a line in my rc.local file (where i put all of my additional programs, etc i want to start):/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

The above now starts my network card with my static ip configured. dhcpcd also worked but i wanted this static.

Now samba will not start. i have the following line in my rc.local: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start

This used to work just fine. at first i thought that samba may be trying to start before my network card gets an ip, but the line is *after* the network startup line. just to make sure, i made an additional script called startsamba which contained a sleep 60 followed by samba start, to delay the startup of samba even further.

The message samba reports is very vague, something like failed - core dumped. most of the core dump log is garbage characters, but here is the beginning which seems like it might contain some info:

Code:

ERROR: Can't log to stdout (-S) unless daemon is in foreground (-F) or interactive (-i) after the system starts, i can drop to a console and type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start" and the service starts just fine. i've also tried starting samba manually with "smbd -d" which also produces the core dump when started from rc.local, but not when started from a console after startup.
