 Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2003 2:18 pm Post subject: networking issues immediately after install |
 |
|
| I successfully installed Gentoo 1.4 on another computer yesterday, and the networking worked great under the Live CD. I noted the modules loaded when using the liveCD with "lsmod" and compiled them as Modules into the kernel. (The ones I needed, especially the networking one: 8139too It seemed that something called "mii" was also using 8139too, but I couldn't find it in the kernel settings--but when I booted up for the first time and ran lsmod, both 8139too and mii were there--but ifconfig eth0 down/up and also /etc/init.d/net.eth0 failed to allow me to get an ip from DHCP. I have iface_eth0="dhcp" set properly and nothing else is commented in on /etc/conf.d/net . I get an ip from DHCP (I am on campus) and everything works superbly when using the LiveCD, but upon booting from the hardisk, only lo starts up and eth0 won't start--or ifconfig eth0 will not pull up its ip--it only shows "Ethernet" and "loopback." Now I have my other Gentoo machine, which is the one from which I am writing this, and my networking is installed the same way--different drivers/modules but the same DHCP set up. (Also on campus) Mine obviously works. With this one, however, even with the proper drivers/modules, eth0 won't initialize and pull its ip from DHCP here. I would appreciate any help!! |

|
|
I would suggest start by looking for net-misc/dhcpcd.
After confirming it's installed or emerging it, use rc-update to make sure you have your net.eth0 device starting at runlevel 3 | Code: | | rc-update add net.eth0 default |
The only other issue I can think of may be that your dhcp server requires a hostname be passed as a parameter which should be done thusly: | Code: | file: /etc/conf.d/net
dhcpcd_eth0="-h hostname" |
If all this fails, just try doing it manually with: or | Code: | | dhcpcd -h hostname eth0 |
Hope this helps. Give shout back... |

I would suggest that you tried the pci=noacpi trick anyway, it may work, did for me, but then again, I'm an AMD guy...

| I have tried all of those suggestions, and still am getting nothing. Bottom line is: it worked with the live CD, I have the two modules loaded that the CD needed to run, and it still doesn't work. I removed ACPI from the kernel and made sure I had the right modules for the nic in there. ifconfig shows the nic "ethernet" (eth0) but it will not pull an IP. The MAC address is registered with campus DHCP, because it pulls an IP when using the liveCD. Any other suggestions? |
