Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
So, I've build my new Opteron system ad am - well, was - installing Gentoo. |
4 |
The board is a Tyan k8w and has an onboard network card that is accessed using |
5 |
the e1000 driver. |
6 |
The first install went well, I compiled a kernel using genkernel and emerged |
7 |
kde/X11. No problem. I emerged nvidia-glx, again no problem. |
8 |
|
9 |
I then decided to emerge world and compile a new kernel with genkernel |
10 |
--xconfig (because I thought I might have missed some elements with |
11 |
menuconfig). After that, the machine did boot OK but could not load the |
12 |
nvidia module (which I have to re-emerge I suppose). |
13 |
|
14 |
Now my trouble is with the network: I have a fixed IP and pinging the network |
15 |
card works. However, I can't access my network nor my gateway (network |
16 |
unreachable). |
17 |
/etc/conf.d/net has not changed and contains the correct information |
18 |
(config_eth0 and routes_eth0). |
19 |
resolv.conf hasn't changed either |
20 |
|
21 |
At the end of boot I get the following information: |
22 |
|
23 |
starting eth0 |
24 |
bringing up eth0 |
25 |
<computer ip> |
26 |
adding routes |
27 |
default gw <gateway ip> ..... |
28 |
|
29 |
which seems OK to me. Ifconfig returns sensible things (inet, bcast and mask |
30 |
are all right) and trying to add the gateway manualy (route add default gw |
31 |
<gw ip>) returns: SIOCADDRT: File exists, which again seems to me sensible. |
32 |
|
33 |
lsmod returnd e100, used by 0 is this a clue? |
34 |
|
35 |
and running route without parameter says: |
36 |
|
37 |
Kernel IP routing table |
38 |
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface |
39 |
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 |
40 |
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo |
41 |
default 192.168.1.51 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 |
42 |
|
43 |
Now I am completely stuck. I know the hardware works (SuSE 64 has no network |
44 |
problem) and I know it has worked with Gentoo, and it seems to me that all my |
45 |
config files are all right, so can anyone tell me what I am missing? |
46 |
|
47 |
Thanks, |
48 |
|

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a |
52 |
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the |
53 |
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
