 Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2008 4:44 am Post subject: Interface eth0 does not exist (fixed) |
 |
|
I updated much of my system today to ~x86 branch, waiting until tomorrow before the full recompile starts. I did recompile @system though, and after a reboot the computer has no network connection, and gives the error Interface eth0 does not exist on trying to start init.d/net.eth0 (which I had to symlink to net.lo, because it was gone).
I updated all the config files with dispatch-conf, and didn't didn't notice anything that would break networking. Though perhaps that's why I have a problem...
Anyway, I can't understand what causes this error. I have output from ifconfig and attempting to start net.eth0 here, as well as lspci and lshw info on my hardware. Linked because copy-pasting doesn't seem to work in links on the minimal cd. Incidentally, the network is perfectly fine in the minimal cd. I don't understand what happened here, I have no clue how to fix this.

Adopting a post,

please post ifconfig -a to verify the existance of eth1, then you can take steps to change its name, or to make config for eth1 as opposed to eth0

If ethx does not exist and you updated udev to udev-132 mask sys-fs/udev-132 and downgrade udev. | Code: | echo "=sys-fs/udev-132" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge -1 sys-fs/udev |

I have the same problem, and jburns solution did it, but why did it happen? Didn't see any reason to it anywhere.

| You can also manually revert device name to eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules , for some reason after update udev treats ethernet card as new one and assigns new interface to it. |

Ah. I moved /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to a random filename and restarted, and now it works fine. Thank you! |

This file will be regenerated next time /lib/udev/write_net_rules will run so better don't remove it, only change line
| Code: |
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="eth0"
|
with proper mac address and interface eth0. |
