1 I have a Gentoo VM that I've used for years (XP Host. Workstation 5.5.3). Works great.
2
3 I copied the .vmdk and .vmx files to a new directory called "LAMP". I edited the .vmx file changing the appropriate paths. Now when
4 I start the new VM, my networking fails. (I changed nothing inside the linux VM).
5
6 ifconfig eth0 says:
7 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
8
9 dmesg | grep says:
10 pcnet32.c:v1.33.27 blah blah blah
11 pcnet32.c PCnet/PCI II ..... and my MAC address 00:0c:29:e8:fd:74
12 eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A
13 pcnet32: 1 cards_found.
14
15 lspci | grep net says:
16 00:11.0 Ethernet controller: [AMD] blah blah
17
18 pcnet-diag says it finds the card etc. too.
19
20 my kernel (2.6.19) is set to CONFIG_PCNET32=y, so I don't load it as a module.
21 It seems that the driver is being loaded right?
22 What could be the problem?
23
24 If I load the original Gentoo VM, it works fine. Both are set to NAT.
