 Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2004 9:54 pm Post subject: Failed to bring eth0 up |
 |
|
After doing a install with a 2.6.1 kernel built with genkernel, I get this error message on boot:
Failed to bring eth0 up
ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started.
What do I do to make it work? On the LiveCD, it appears to be using the tulip module. |

Is the tulip module loaded now? Did you add it to your modules autoload file?

See if tulip shows up. If not then
That should do it for ya, then just restart your net.eth0 script.

Its definatly called tulip.
Oops, looks like genkernel didnt compile the module for your ethernet card. I dont use genkernel so I cant tell you how to fix that, short of you compiling your own kernel. 
I can give you some links on that subject if you like.

Is it just a matter of booting from the livecd, running
make menuconfig
and then changing grub.conf? |

Yea, pretty much.
The big thing that you are looking for is under drivers --> network devices --> ethernet 10 or 100mbit --> tulip. This is its own little directory and has several options for different tulip options. If you want you can just select them all as modules and they will just load as needed with the tulip module.

Not that I know of. Like I said, I have never used genkernel so i dont know how it really works. Maybe looking through the man page for genkernel there is an option to inject a certain module?? I really dont know....

OK, I build the kernel, and it boots. Here's the error message I get when it tries to load the driver:
| Code: | | modproble: FATAL: Error inserting tulip (/lib/modules/2.6.1-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.ko): Invalid module format |
A bunch of these messages come up. What do I do? |

When you made your kernel you did the standerd: | Code: | | make clean && make && make modules_install |
Also your linux diretory in /usr/src is linked to your current kernel right? Another thing you could try is compiling support directly into your kernel instead of using a module. I had a simular problem with my alsa drivers, and compiling them in ended up fixing it.

I didn't do the make clean, and it looks like my new kernel overwrote the old one, so the links should be set up properly.
Should I compile the kernel with the tulip support compiled in? Or is there something else I should do? |

Your link should look like my first entry. I would try compiling them in the kernel. I cant see any reason that the module shouldnt load though.....Is that the only error message you get when you do the modprobe? What about your logs? dmesg maybe tells you more?

interesting... in the dmesg output is this:
| Code: | | tulip: version magic '2.6.1-gentoo preempt PENTIUMII gcc-3.2' should be '2.6.1-gentoo preempt PENTIMUM4 gcc-3.2' |
I know I did change the processor in menuconfig to Pentium II from Pentium 4, because that's what this runs on. Should I change it back or something? |

That almost makes me think something was wrong during the compile or something. Go ahead and JUST run a | Code: | | make clean && make && make install |
and copy over your necessory files. If that dosent work, then try compiling tulip directly into the kernel.

Your bzImage and your System.map files.

| Ugh. Back to the beginning. I don't get an errors in dmesg, but the same message I posted at the beginning appears. I have hotplug, does this matter? |

What does show you? Look in your dmesg again, towards the beggining I would guess, for where the tulip loaded and post it.

| There is nothing at all about the ethernet card or tulip in dmesg. All ifconfig shows is lo. I'd prefer not to have to post it because it obviously isn't on my network now and typing it is kind of tedious. |
