 Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 7:09 am Post subject: eth0 skipped? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello all. I'm having some issues with a Gentoo installation inside of VMware. I have this running without a hitch on one machine and copied the image over to another for a fail over setup. The copied version isn't running correctly for some reason.
The system boots just fine but sets up the ethernet adapter as eth1 and not eth0
| Code: | # ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found |
Here's the output from dmesg from the machine that is hosed
| Code: | # dmesg |grep eth
eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A
eth1: link up |
Here is the output from the other machine (the one that works)
| Code: | # dmesg | grep eth
eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A
eth0: link up |
Bother servers identical hardware wise although the kernels are not which I'm not sure if that's the problem or not. If I assign an IP address and a route to eth1 it works just fine. Things like OpenSSH won't start because of the missing eth0 but I can send/receive ICMP packets.
Has anyone seen eth0 get skipped before? If so what was the solution?
Regards,
Seth

Sweet, man thanks a bunch. The mac address changed and it added a line for the new address as eth1 instead of overwriting what it had for eth0. I just edited the mac address for eth0 and removed eth1. Working well now.
Thanks again,
Seth |

Moved from Networking & Security to Duplicate Threads.
(among other threads on that issue) DUP for [Solved] Change eth1 to eth0?
