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? |
