|
|
Hello
I've upgraded from the 2.4 kernel to the latest 2.6 gentoo kernel. But now I am unable to ping any address except my own and the loopback. I've checked and re-checked that I've included all the drivers from the 2.4 config, and even used genkernel to compile the kernel. I can't ping anywhere using the 2.6 kernel, but if I go back to 2.4 then all is ok. Is there anything obvious I've msised, or any suggestions to help figure out what the problem is?
Although I can't see any obvious errors, I've posted a portion of /var/log/messages showing a 2.6 boot: http://www.rowyerboat.com/syslog.txt
Thanks in advance for any help,
Steve

Check to see if your network interface is working and it has successfully joined the network.
Also, check the routing table
#route -n
and see if the proper gateway is available.
if not config your network manually. I think there is a proper section on it in the installation documentation. |

Code: | Apr 21 10:50:03 mozart e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex |
The network is manually configured. Everything works when booting with the 2.4 kernel. I just cannot ping anywhere but myself when booting with the 2.6 kernel. No one else can ping me either. It's like a firewall is dropping packets. Iptables is installed but not configured and not running. I also tried removing Iptables but that made no difference either.
SOLVED! - The 2.6 kernel detected eth0 as eth1, different to the 2.4 kernel!
