 Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:54 am Post subject: [solved] dhcpcd: eno1: if_up: Cannot allocate memory |
 |
|
New Gentoo install on my server, but I can't seem to get ethernet working. The controller is a Broadcom Netxtreme II.
It works on the liveCD, which calls it eno1. I've compiled the kernel with bnx2 built in.
Now, when I run dhcpcd eno1 (or /etc/init.d/net.eno1 start) it gives me:
| Code: |
* Bringing up interface eno1
* dhcp . . .
* Running dhcpcd . . .
dhcpcd[pid]: version 6.4.7 starting
dhcpcd[pid]: eno1: if_up: Cannot allocate memory
dhcpcd[pid]: eno1: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[pid]: timed out
dhcpcd[pid]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[pid]: timed out
dhcpcd[pid]: exited
* ERROR: net.eno1 failed to start |
(Also, dmesg seems to call it eth0, but dhcpcd says that eh0 doesn't exist)
Anybody know what's going on?

the kernel will name a one and only ethernet interface eth0. When udev runs it will change the name unless you have taken action to prevent it. dmesg should tell the new name. Running ifconfig -a will tell the interface name even if it is not up; if the kernel was able to recognize the hardware and assign a driver to it. Running ifconfig will show the interface name if it is up.

That is a serious error, which I've not seen before.
It's odd as the if_up function itself does not allocate memory - it just uses the puts small variables onto the stack and if the stack is running out at this point there is a serious issue.
Can you report which version is on the live CD and test dhcpcd-6.5.1 which is in portage to see if that resolves the issue?
I'll monitor this thread so I can respond sharply.

What might be interesting to is to run an strace on dhcpcd for extra debugging information.

The install cd I used was "install-amd64-minimal-20141023"
My installed version of dhcpcd is 6.4.7. I'll see if I can get 6.5.1 installed somehow.
Update: Installing 6.5.1 doesn't solve the problem.

The version installed on the install disk is 6.4.7.
Installing 6.5.1 does not solve the problem. |

@UberLord:
the OP has said: | Quote: | | It works on the liveCD, which calls it eno1[/ |
The version used by the livecd may be less relevant than the version installed on the hard drive which may be less relevant than what interface name is used in the installed gentoo system.
Suggest MasterDragon boot the installed gentoo and run | Code: | dhcpcd --version
ifconfig -a |
and post the dhcpcd version returned by the first command and the interface name(s) returned by the second command. ifconfig -a instead of ifconfig as ifconfig only shows "up" interfaces.

what is ifconfig -a result from the installed system? Not from the chroot.

so udev did in fact rename eth0 and eth1
run are eno1 eno2 enp11s0 enp13s0 all listed (if so they are up)
run are net.lo net.eno1 net.eno2 net.enp11s0 net.enp13s0 and dhcpcd shown as running?

I've only got eno1 in default, I don't use the other three ethernet ports, but the link for eno1 is set.
bnx2 is set to y, bnx2x is not. |

. that is your problem, happy kernel recompiling  .
[*] Broadcom devices #bnx2

< > QLogic NetXtremeII support

| I recompliled the kernel with bnx2x as well and I'm afraid that didn't solve the problem (I'm pretty sure I only have the gigabit controller anyway). |

from the broadcom site: "Broadcom no longer provides drivers and documentation for NetXtreme II. They can be obtained from QLogic." Guessing the kernel follows same pattern.
from menuconfig help dialog: | Quote: | CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_BROADCOM:
If you have a network (Ethernet) chipset belonging to this class, say Y.
Note that the answer to this question does not directly affect
the kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions regarding AMD chipsets. If you say Y, you will be asked
for your specific chipset/driver in the following questions. |
need to pick the right broadcom driver
try: [*] Broadcom devices
< > Broadcom 440x/47xx ethernet support
<M> QLogic NetXtremeII support
<M> QLogic CNIC support
< > Broadcom Tigon3 support
< > Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb support
If still trouble: run lspci -k and lsmod from the livecd and check the drivers and modules in use, post the result for the ethernet NIC's
enter the chroot
emerge pciutils
reboot to the installed system
run lspci -k and lsmod from the livecd and check the drivers and modules in use against the list from the livecd

Hmm... I don't even have the QLogic option when I configure my kernel.
I don't think it matters though... Both the install CD and the installed system say the NIC is using bnx2. |

An ethernet nic that needs a firmware blob!!! Saints preserve us.
| Code: | | ls /lib/firmware/bnx2 |
if nothing shows up try | Code: | | emerge linux-firmware |
from the chroot and recheck
If bnx2 and cnic are modules:
run | Code: | modprobe -r bnx2
modprobe bnx2 |
reboot the installed system.
does running now show eno1?
what kernel version are you using? I'm 3.17.1-r1 a difference may account for missing qlogic.
what prompt in menuconfig under [*] Broadcom devices gives you CONFIG_BNX2: in its help dialog?
Does the next entry contain cnic with CONFIG_CNIC: in its help dialog?
or asking another way, I have:
[*] Broadcom devices
< > Broadcom 440x/47xx ethernet support
<M> QLogic NetXtremeII support # shows CONFIG_BNX2 as symbol in help here
<M> QLogic CNIC support # shows CONFIG_CNIC as symbol in help here
< > Broadcom Tigon3 support
< > Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb support
if you have an entry that would produce CONFIG_CNIC as symbol that is not currently enabled; suggest you enable it and recompile.
to save typing: command | tee /foo will show you the output of command and save it in a file named /foo; a reboot to the livemedia and mounting the gentoo partitions would then facilitate copy/paste of /mnt/gentoo/foo contents here or wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/foo and posting the url here
