 |
|
| after upgrading from my happily-working 2.6.18-rsomething to 19-r3 , first my disks stopped working (thanks for putting in a whole new sata-menu there) , and when I got that working, I ran out of network. my nforce 550 thingy worked just fine with my forcedeth on the old one, but no go now.. is there anything I should know ? any hidden little thing to enable ? |

| tried both, still no go. also : reverting to the old kernel does not fix this. works fine here in ubuntu, though. |

do a
| Code: | | dmesg | grep -i eth |
in ubuntu, right after booting it, to see what module/code it used to bring up the ethernet device. Find that device the the kernel config you are having issues with and verify it is enabled.
also maybe execute the same command on the gentoo system to see what its trying to do with the ethernet device. |

| Code: | | [4294674.746000] forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.48. |
me only having one system, I'll have to boot back into gentoo to see what dmesg gives there. this is then the ubuntu output.
also : | Code: | | 0000:00:08.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) |

uhm, yeah..  silly me, a ifconfig -a revealed this one :
| Code: | ?_ Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:17:46:36:76
inet addr:192.168.0.102 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::216:17ff:fe46:3676/64 Scope:Link

so, eth0 simply changed name. it works just fine, but being weird, I'd love to get it named eth0 again, or eth-anything for that matter. |
