 Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:57 am Post subject: network interface eth2 does not exist[SOLVED] |
 |
|
I just got gentoo to boot up and I have a ethernet problem now. I guess gentoo isnt finding my ethernet card. this is the error I get
| Code: |
*Starting up eth2
* Bringing up eth2
* dhcp
* network interface eth2 does not exist
* please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [!!]
|
I am using eth2 becuase that is what my network card showed up as when I configured in net-setup when using the live install cd
this the output from
lspci | grep Ethernet
| Code: |
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 4364 (rev 12)
|
any help is appreciated

Did you compile kernel from source, or via a genkernel?
What is the output of
dmesg | tail -n 100
Check your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and make sure your MAC address is set correctly for eth0 to be used. |

I used genkernel
and
dmesg | tail -n 100 outputs a ton of stuff, I couldnt see anything reguarding my network card, should I just type out the whole thing?
and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules appears to not exist |

no, the handbook didnt mention anything about udev other than unmerging it if you had a 2.4 kernel |

your on a 2.4 kernel?
I'm honestly not sure if the 2.4 has Marvel support. The livecd uses a 2.6 kernel, which I know does.
Your lacking the module for your NIC. Which is what we need. 2.6 has it. |

genkernel user should be shot in the face btw.
i'd emerge udev for starters. and learn to compile your kernel from source. |

I lied...well not really. I tried to emerge udev, but I booted to the livecd, ran net-setup pinged google, everything was fine, but once I chrooted I had no connection, I tried this multiple times too
..I found this though http://gentoo-wiki.com/ASUS_P5B_Deluxe#Networking and configured my kernel with SysKonnect Yukon 2 support, but still nothing I'm trying to enable New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support now and I'm going to see if that changes anything |

If you could ping outside your chroot environment, but not inside - i think you forgot the step where you
cp /etc/resov.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
Also - what modules are loaded via lsmod on the livecd ? |

you will need the sky2 driver compiled in.
Also, make sure you've got hald emerged & added via rc-update on default. |

Okay, thanks a ton for all the help btw.
Just a few more questions
I'm when I tried to rc-update default both hal and udev i get this error
rc-update '/etc/init.d/hal' not found: aborting
how do I not get that error. Also what are hal and udev used for becuase Ive had the sky2 driver compiled in before and I still had the same error, will they fix that? |

| Hal's init.d file is /etc/init.d/hald. Udev doesn't have an init.d file; it should be used automatically if your config files are up-to-date. |

...word...wait what, so after I emerge hal, and I want to rc-update it, do I need to create the init.d file? if so how, if not, why hasn't it worked thus far? and if udev doesn't have an init.d file why did it complain for one when I tried to rc-update it |

After emerge hal, run | Code: | | rc-update add hald default |
(hald instead of hal)
Udev complains because there is no file there; rc-update attempts to add /etc/init.d/<paramater> to the specified runlevel. |

oh....I should have noticed that...the whole udev thing kinda threw me off and made me think it was something completely different that was wrong. Anyway I added hald just now, but when I started up this time I noticed that eth0 started up and received an address and connected me to the internet, so I guess I need to change /etc/conf.d/net and change eth2 to eth0, but I forget how to remove eth2 so it doesnt try to startup.
One last question. since I emerged udev I keep on getting these errors
| Code: |
udevd-event[4438]: run_program: exec of program '/sbin/udev_run_devd' failed
udevd-event[4440]: run_program: exec of program '/sbin/udev_run_hotplug' failed
|
..but a lot of them and when I try to reboot, all I get are those errors and It wont reboot
btw, thanks so much for the help guys |

You should run | Code: | | rc-update del net.eth2 |
, to make sure eth2 is not listed in your runlevels. Once you do that and changed your /etc/conf.d/net, eth2 shouldn't try to start up.
As for the udev errors: did you update your config files after making all these changes (usually, you'd use etc-update or dispatch-conf)? |

Nope, all I did was emerge udev. |

| In general, when changing or updating your system, you need to be sure your config files get changed to fit as well. As I said, running dispatch-conf or etc-update afterwards is the easiest way to do this. You'll have to do this before we can help you figure out any other snags. |

| okay I ran dispatch-conf and updated the config files that needed it, and everything seems to be in working order, no errors(except for one weird startup that happened, but meh) one more question though, is there a way to undo changes made with dispatch-conf. I accidentally changed some files back to before i edited them which isnt what I wanted |

| If you configured dispatch-conf to use RCS, then yes, definitely. I'm not sure, otherwise, but you might look in /etc/config-archive. |
