internet connection during install but not anymore

kronos1

My computer could connect to the internet through my wireless router (Dlink DI 614+) during installation, but now it won't. On start up I get the following errors:
===============================
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
*Failed to bring eth0 up

*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started.
===============================

Anyone know why this could be? I've tried running rc-update for eth0 and a few other things from other posts on this board, but no luck. Sorry if this has been brought up a million times already, but I searched the boards for a while and found nothing. Thanks for your help

try:

/sbin/lilo (obviously assuming you are using lilo not grub)

then reboot

if that doesnt work, check your base system. There is a bug in the newest release, may need to downgrade. There is a lot written abt this problem.

also, here are good threads on this topic:

Is the driver for the network card compiled into the kernel, or compiled as a module?

If it's a module, do you have a means of associating the driver with the device? I have an /etc/modules.d/eth0 file:

I figured it out. I just needed to switch some things in the kernel. Now I'm just waiting for gnome to finish installing! eeek
