 Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 4:52 pm Post subject: problem with eth0 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Ok, I've just spent an hour reading through the forums on this problem and I'm still stuck. I'm a bit of a linux noobie so be easy on me  Anyway, on boot up i get "eth0 does not exist". Now this rig was working perfectly but the powersupply failed and knocked out the mobo so I had to swap it out with a spare which has a different onboard LAN card.
lspci gives:
| Code: | | Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) |
So, I made sure to build this into the kernel...device drivers->network device support->ethernet( 1000 Mbit )->new syskonnect gigaethernet support...I also tried the marvell yukon chipset(derecated) neither one worked.
ifconfig -a still only lists lo with 127.0.0.1 now all my reading leads me to believe that the drivers aren't installed on the kernel but I've added them in (not as modules). Did I miss something?

Try it with the live cd and see if it works. If it does check and see what module the livecd loaded and go from there.

I've had different Marvel Yukon NICs work sometimes and not work sometimes depending on my kernel version. It seems Marvel is coming out with new Yukons all the time and the linux kernel people are having challenges keeping up.
What is your kernel version? |

It does work from Live Cd I'll have to check wat module it uses...kernel is 2.6.14
Edit: When I run lsmod on live cd I see "ieee1394 59192 2 sbp2,ohci1394" I'm assuming this is the module for the LAN card? |

I dont think so. That looks like firewire. Could you post the output of lsmod.

Enable the following in the kernel (your network driver is skge)
| Code: |
"Device Drivers"->"Networking device support"->"Ethernet (1000 Mbit)"->"New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support"

I have the syskonnect enabled in the kernel...I did the following
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
"Selected the driver"
make
shutdown -r now
|
I'm not even sure if the reboot is neccessary but it doesn't work either way...I think I might be skipping a step? |

You sure are.
You configured, and built a nice new kernel, and then proceeded to reboot with the old one. You need to do a couple more things.
First, | Code: | | make modules_install |
to get the modules put into their place where the kernel can load them.
Then you need to copy your brand new kernel from /usr/src/linux-<version>/arch/<arch>/boot/bzImage to your /boot directory.
Then you need to configure grub or lilo (not sure which you use) to actually boot that new kernel instead of the old one. |
