 Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 8:33 pm Post subject: [SOVED] New gentoo install no network |
 |
|
Hi,
After many different attempts I've finally gotten gentoo installed on a 3rd HD using the netinstall version. I used ubuntu to install gentoo 3rd stage tarball I believe, and I followed the handbook to get it done. After having many problems getting gentoo to boot (grub). I've finally got it booting, but I now noticed I have no network interface. It seems like the system doesn't recognize the hardware. On the install I got it to install the genkernel because I've never compiled one and thought I want to first have a working one and a gui, then I can rework the makefile and get a streamlined kernel. Is there a way to fix this preferably using a chroot enviroment.

Hi, whitethorn,
Reboot from the LiveCD and then chroot according to the Handbook.
In the chrooted environment please issue this commands:
and post the results to the www.pastebin.org.
Also, why do you think you don't have a network? If you issue this command:
from the installed environment, what happens?
And one more question: do you have a router or you have a direct connection?
Thank you. |

| Maybe this will help, as well, since I have a wifi card that works only with ndiswrapper: emerge -pf to see which files need to be download to install what you want, download the files on another computer (if you have one), and put them in /usr/portage/distfiles . |

keet,
This is not a solution to the OP.
His network card has to be working and that's what he is asking for....
Thank you. |

He said that he wanted to first have a working kernel and a GUI, so I figured that idea might help in the meantime. That way, whitethorn, you can have a fully-working Gentoo system that you can boot directly into, which might make troubleshooting easier.
I know what he was looking for, and I'm not trying to be annoying; it just seems easier to troubleshoot if you're in a fully-functional environment. Or did you mean in your first post that you really wanted to chroot for some reason other than convenience? |

Sorry guys, I wasn't on my computer for a while. So in firstly from a chroot when I run
From a chrooted system (linux mint). Here are the results from lspci -v and lsmod.
http://pastebin.com/m202e4be
I have a router and it's set up with dhcp, so no problems there. I'm gonna reboot the gentoo system and edit this post with the error message.

So I started my gentoo system. On boot right before I get to the login, it prints out this msg.

Starting eth0

dhcp

Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
Error: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start

While I was booted into the gentoo I also did an lspci -v lsmod and cat /etc/resolv.conf. Here are the results.

I don't have a wireless card I'm using the network interface on my motherboard. Oh and my bad, I didn't explain it properly, except for the network card gentoo is working, I can boot it up and login and whatnot. I mentioned the chrooted environment because that way I don't have to work in control alt 1-4 and with lynx (also oddly enough in a chroot the network works so I can install programs and whatnot).

Not to be picky, but in the line
| Code: | | network interface eht0 does not exist |
, shouldn't it said eth0, not eht0? Or perhaps you just mistyped it in the forum? If not, maybe that's part of the problem 
Otherwise, it sounds to me like the driver might not be configured correctly in the kernel.

This might help:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Asus_M51SN
After configuring the kernel module and modprobing it, or just building driver support directly into it, it should work.
Just paying attention to the Ethernet section, of course; everything else looks different from your configuration. |

In other words I would have to compile a new kernel right? |

| Now that I researched a little more, I did see atl1e in your lsmod.. maybe that's it. Is that one modprobed? |

I have no idea. This is the first time I've had with kernels / modules. How would I go about checking that? |

As root, run:
| Code: | modprobe atl1e
/etc/init/net.eth0 start |
What happens now? |

There's no module called atl1e. At least I wasn't able to find it. It was in the chrooted lsmod, when you look at this [url]http://pastebin.org/32584 [/url](lsmod from within gentoo) it's not there |

Oh, right..  then yes, you need to rebuild your kernel if it's not built into your kernel and doesn't exist as a module. |

Is there a way to keep the recompile the genkernel and add the one module? |

| Sorry, I'm really not familiar with genkernels at all. Why not try one of Pappy's kernel seeds? Just search the forum and you'll find it easily enough. |

boot, run
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
enable the following in the menu:
Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
<*> Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL) |
