My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I looked around and was unable to find any posts addressing my specific problem here.
I just updated from gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.4-r1. Everything is working great so far (Alsa, GeForce card) except for my networking. The /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script fails to initialize my onboard RealTek 8139 NIC (using the 8139too module). I have 8139too in /etc/modules.autoload. /etc/conf.d/net is configured properly as well. At boot I get this message:
| Code: |
* Bringing eth0 up...
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
* Failed to bring eth0 up
|
However, if I modprobe 8139too after boot, the network starts up just fine. Did something change in the way modules are loaded in 2.6? I read a bit about some changes made, but I didn't see anything that would affect this. Have I missed anything? Does anyone have any idea regarding autoloading this module at boot?
Thanks,
Jason

maybe you forgot to do
"rc-update add default modules", and net.eth0 script can't find proper module , because it isn't loaded?
Do you have 8139too in
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
or
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Thanks, it was the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. I hadn't realized those had been added.
Thanks!
