 |
|
| Network was working great and I started to emerge updates. While it was updating(Mozilla I think) It froze so I had to restart(another story on why it freezes, no idea) so when I boot back up I get the message start DHCP...net0 not found. I had an issue like this onces with another server and it seemed if I restarted coldplug it would find it...well, coldplug is not on this computer and I can't emerge it because I don't have Internet access! Any ideas? |

| check if the module for your network card is loaded. if not load it manually and restart net.eth0 script |

If your problem was solved with coldplug you may simply reboot your computer without network support.
Then modprobe the module of your NIC | Code: | | modprobe 'your NIC's module' |
and start dhcpcd manually.
To avoid such problems it would be a good idea to compile your NIC driver in your kernel instead as a module.
In case you use modules for your PCI components you have to install coldplug and put it to the default runlevel.

You have to know what NIC you are using and look up the module's name.
You will find it eg if you | Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |
in Device Drivers -- Networking Support -- Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit).
If you have absolutely no idea what NIC you are using run | Code: | | cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet |
This should give you the type of NIC you are using. Then you can chosse the proper option in your kernel and compile and install it new.
