 Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 12:51 am Post subject: eth0 device can't be found after installation |
 |
|
| Hi, i'm using an Ethernet port that is on eth0. It works when I am using the live cd, but it will not work when I boot gentoo (I get a "eth0 does not exist" error, or something like that, after dhcp tries to start). My network uses DHCP (which I have dhcpd.conf configured the way it needs to be). I've looked all over the internet trying to find information, but I could not find the information that I needed to get it to work. Can some one tell how I would be able to fix this? |

What NIC are you using? Do you have the module loaded or build into the kernel? What does lspci -v print out?
cheers

1.st
Try
##################
cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
###################
And Edit ur /etc/conf.d/net
#################33
nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
#################333
and try this
##################
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
#################333
If Work All Right
just do this
#################
rc-update add net.eth0 default
#################33333 |

I'm using a Kingston KNE110TX/BTO if that's what you mean.
lspci -v prints out:
| Code: | 0000:0010.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev20)
Subsystem: Kingston Technologies: Unknown device: f002
Flags: Bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
I/O ports at 1400
Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]

If I remember right, then this NIC runs with the tulip dirvers. Did you try to use the tulip driver for that NIC?:
Does that fix the problem?

Well like I said, it works from the live cd, but it doesn't work when I boot the computer without it. It says "*starting dhcp..." and then "*eth0 does not exist". Well, I ran that from the livecd, and nothing appeared to happen. I then booted my computer without the cd and typed it in now I have:
| Code: | | FATAL: Module tulip not found. |
Any other advise? |

I don't know how willing you would be, but perhaps you can justuse genkernel to make your kernel. It'll take a heck of a long time to do, but it would mimmick the LiveCD more, and could help you to identify what exactly you would need for a manual compilation of your kernel. (perhaps findout what modules its loading and using etc..)

recomplining the kernel is the last one of the last resorts for me. it took a long enough time to get it to the kernel compiled without using genkernel. If threre is another way to get it to work without it, then I'll try it, else, I'll recompile a kernel.
