I migrated my gentoo server to a different machine. Anyways, I took all the relevant hardware out of the old machine and put it into the new one.
When I boot from the Gentoo LiveCD, then both NICs are correctly identified and setup as eth0 and eth1 using the 8139too module. However, when I boot my server using the most recent gentoo-sources kernel then only the first nic loads and activates, the second one gives me an error.

The livecd detects and activates both nics just fine, but in my actual gentoo installation, no dice. Any ideas? |

Try adding two lines like this to your /etc/modules.autoload | Code: | 8139too irq=10
8139too irq=12 |

Hi there. I tried what you said. I added those options to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but no dice. dmesg tells me "unknown parameter irq". Both nics failed to load and I had to manually modprobe 8139.
****update****
hmm, strange. I tried replacing the nic with a tulip based chipset, same situation. I even tried putting it in a different slot on the mobo, no difference. Then I took out a old isdn card I had in there, since I thought that maybe that was taking up some resources, but once again, same situation. In my system there is a graphic card, a Hauppauge PVR-350 and a RTL8139 nic card. Strangely, the livecd (in both cases) seems to be able to load both cards just fine.
By the way, here is the dmesg output with the tulip card inside as well.

That last line puzzles me. Im guessing it must be something about my kernel config, since the liveCD is able to load both just fine. Maybe its just an issue with the current gentoo-sources kernel, who knows. |
