 Posted: Tue Nov 30, 2004 7:50 pm Post subject: Manually Bringing Up eth0 on boot |
 |
|
I am brand new to Linux and decided on installing a Stage2 Gentoo installation for my first Linux installation. I have one problem that I cannot figure out. I've searched the forums but can't find an answer to my problem.
Every time I boot my computer into Gentoo I get an error saying that eth0 could not be brought up. I have to manually bring up the card each time with:
--------------------------
# modprobe forcedeth
# ifconfig eth0 up
--------------------------
I am running the 2.6.9 kernel on a Biostar motherboard with an AMD 2600+ Barton processor with 1G Crucial RAM. |

since a modprobe fix the issue, i think you need to add the correct module in the modules.autoload, as explained in the gentoo handbook (section configuring the modules):
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#kernel_modules
| Code: |
To find the correct module name
# lsmod
# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# modules-update
|
Hope this is the the correct answer.
