Ethernet not found. error during boot

[Surehand53]

Hi.

Every now and then when I boot from a SD card I get the error `Ethernet not found.` during the boot sequence and then I am in some shell.
After a power off/on booting eventually works.
I experienced that with more than one Linux, so I think it is not release specific.

Has anyone an idea what the reason could be?

i encountered the same problem in dietpi. seems my sandisk sd card was at fault. i bought a transcend and dietpi started without this problem. I hope that helps you narrow it down.
