 Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:48 pm Post subject: Why does my eth0 work as a module but not complied? |
 |
|
I tried to get my Intel Pro/100 ethernet adapter to work by :
Then selecting my card driver under Device Drivers-> Network adapters -> 10/100mbit -> Intel Pro/100
Then :
| Code: | make && make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
cp .config /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
reboot
|
After I reboot it still does not work. And I do a :
| Code: | uname -v
#2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 18 03:32:14 Local time zone must be set--
|
That time is not right however. It seems that is when I did one of my recompiles off the liveCD. So anyway I try just to do it as a module:
Change the * to an M and again:
| Code: | make && make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
cp .config /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
|
Then :
Found the module and did :
Now when I do a :
I see the eth0. So I add "e100" to my :
| Code: | | /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
And reboot. And everything works!!!
Now why does it work as a module but not when I compiled it directly into the kernel. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong when re-comiling the kernel?
Thanks! |

I don't think it is the solution but i thought you had to copy your System.map into your boot partition. I don't know exactly what's the purpose of this but i think it has to do with some mapping of the system and the hardware maybe. Can anyone confirme please?

| The System.map is not relevant. The handbook tells you to copy it to /boot purely for backup purposes. |

This is just a guess, but it might have something to do with your system not autodetecting the card. Try emerging coldplug and adding it to your boot runlevel. |

Try this? | Code: | | rc-update add net.eth0 default |
and reboot? Do you have dhcpcd emerged?
I'm a Linux newbie, if I'm completely wrong, I'm sorry. |

I don't think that's his problem, because the module works fine and not when built in
net.eth0 just contains the options for ifconfig and the routes for every network adapter (well, a little more but i think that's the most important) and when it adds to the default runlevel, it justs configure the interface on startup

| I know that but I wasn't sure if he had /etc/init.d/net.eth0 started. |

Right....eth0 is definately trying to start I just get...
Eth0 cannot be found
I think that is it..I don't remember the exact error message. I think the problem is definately with my kernel compile. It seems the changes were not being made.
Like I said when I do the :
The time displayed is quite old.
I must be missing a step. |
