 Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 2:28 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] NIC's doesn't work after kernel migration |
 |
|
Due to alot of reasons, i decided it was the time to migrate to 2.6 kernel. This have given me quit alot of hassle, especially with both NIC's. The box is a gateway, and have eth0 and eth1. dmeg shows me, that they're both found. ifconfig -a shows both NIC's but ifconfig doesn't.
During boot, a message tells me to make sure, that $iface_ is set in /etc/conf.d/net. They both are. No config has been altered at all.
I think it have something to do with, the change from "modutils" to "module-init-tools". The halt script isn't working properly anymore either.
Hope someone can shed some light on this issue
Thanks in advance

It's a bit of a mouthfull, since it turned out to be alot of problems. But mainly the reason for the NIC not working was, 1) Kernel 2.6 change eht0 to eth1 and eth1 to eth0. 2) The /etc/conf.d/net was hopelessly outdated. 3) I had to get rid of the old /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and /etc/init.d/net.eth1 and link new one to /etc/init.d/net.lo. After that, the NICs where working. Then it was a case of fixing iptables, nis and nfs.
It just goes to show, that updating config files, are really worth doing it, and I found out the hard way. I'm a regular posterboy for etc-update now.
A horrible, but valuable experience |
