 |
|
I just finished my gentoo installation and I have rebooted, now for some reason eth0 doesn't show up. I have all of the drivers included when I was configuring the kernel as far as I know. Here's the relevant output from /var/log/rc.log
| Code: | * Bringing up interface eth0
* Caching network module dependencies
* ERROR: interface eth0 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start
* ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 would not start |
Here's the relevant output from lspci -nnk
| Code: | 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1502] (rev 06)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:4953]
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
Kernel modules: e1000e
|
Any help is appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for a while.

Default is to get nonsense names from udev and maybe now eudev. Run "ifconfig" to see your interface names. Mine wants to be something like "empanada".
Another "feature" from Red Hat's linux-like OS. |

Cool it works, thank you to both of you! I just ran the command in the link you sent me | Code: | | touch /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules |
then I rebooted and it worked!  |
