 Posted: Sun May 29, 2005 5:35 am Post subject: can not get eth0 up [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I can not get eth 0 up on my new gentoo box.
ifconfig -a actually shows two network interfaces; eth0 and eth1 even though I do not have two. I suspect eth0 to be bogus in this case, as the HWaddr is FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00, and for eth1 it seems more normal.
lsmod scrolls "above the screen" so I can not see if all modules are loaded. My nw adapter is a VIA VT6102 [Rhine II].
when i boot the box, this message is displayed in the beginning:
| Code: | | eth1394:eth0:could not allocate isochronous recieve context for the broadcastchannel |
and then this one right before I log on:
| Code: | ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started |
this is most likely because I have problems with eth0
can anyone help me??

Looks like a problem with eth1394. Fire up menuconfig (if you configured your own kernel) and goto | Code: | | Device Drivers--->IEEE1394 Support---> |
and look around in there. Another helpful hint would be to type (before configuring the kernel) in order to have a clue as to what exactly isn't working correctly. Also (I've had problems with eth1394 messing with my connection before as well) you should reboot several times to see if the eth1394 module(s) load each time, b/c sometimes they don't. If this happens to be the case it will give you an even better clue as to whats going on. Of course another thing you should do is search the forums here, b/c not only is this problem encountered often, but there is a lot more basic advice floating around out there you should probably undertake first.

You can send the `lsmod' o/p to a file:
and then examine "lsmod.txt". Alternatively, Shift+PageUp will
scroll-back a std shell window.
Did the message
| Code: | eth1394:eth0:could not allocate isochronous recieve context
for the broadcastchannel |
really mis-spell "receive", or did you re-type the message?

do you really want your firewire networking eth0 up or only your "normal" eth1?
if you dont want your eth0: edit all needed files (config+ gateway) and only start your eth1
(edit /etc/conf.d/net + ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1 + rc-update del net.eth0 default etc)

thanks for all replies!
gentsquash: I had to rewrite the message, so my bad 
All your suggestions made me think "do I need eth1394 at all??"...so I just removed the module and now eth0 works like a charm!
It seems that eth1394 and the via-rhine(mii) was having a conflict over my one net adapter, so they made one each (eth0 and eth1) and this made dhcpcd go bananas...
Thanks! |
