 Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:34 pm Post subject: Network doesn't start automatically |
 |
|
I changed network card and configured /etc/conf.d/net, created symlink /etc/init.d/net.ens6, updated rc, but at boot time it says: "ERROR: interface ens6 does not exist".
I can start it manually by
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.ens6 start |
and it works fine.
Any ideas? |

Hi
what is the output of
| Code: |
ip a
lspci
lspci -nkk
|
Maybe the new card is missing drivers.

Maybe your interface gets loaded after the attempt to start net.ens6. Try loading the module with modules (/etc/conf.d/modules). |

| At what runlevel does the system try to start this interface? If unsure, show us the output of rc-update. |

gentoo-bin stock kernel, drivers are loaded and network is working completely fine, but only with manual start.

run level is boot, just like previous card (it was intel 1Gb, installed with gentoo without problems)
| Code: | binfmt | boot
bootmisc | boot
cgroups | sysinit
devfs | sysinit
dmesg | sysinit
fsck | boot
hostname | boot
hwclock | boot
keymaps | boot
killprocs | shutdown
kmod-static-nodes | sysinit
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
loopback | boot
modules | boot
mount-ro | shutdown
mtab | boot
net.ens6 | boot
netmount | default
procfs | boot
root | boot
save-keymaps | boot
save-termencoding | boot
savecache | shutdown
sshd | boot
stmpfiles-dev | sysinit
stmpfiles-setup | boot
sysctl | boot
sysfs | sysinit
termencoding | boot
udev | sysinit
udev-trigger | sysinit
urandom | boot
|
just tested on debian (same hardware) with no issues, but i want it to work on gentoo. |

So i suppose that ens6 is this Mellanox card?
do you have these in your .config
| Code: |
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MELLANOX=y
CONFIG_MELLANOX_PLATFORM=y
|
If they are built as modules you will need an initrd to load them @boot
or build them into the kernel with above configs.

| Perhaps boot is too early? I bring up net.lo in boot, but wait until default to bring up net.eth0. |

yes, both are present in config-5.10.27-gentoo-dist
just switched to default, same error, but only once (it was twice when boot), network still down.

These are the mellanox modules
| Code: |
mlx5_core
mlxsw_switchx2
mlxsw_minimal
mlxsw_switchib
mlxsw_core
mlxsw_i2c
mlxsw_pci
mlxsw_spectrum
mlx4_core
mlx4_en
mlxfw
mlxreg-io
mlxreg-hotplug
|
Maybe incude them in a /etc/modules-load.d/mellanox.conf file
