[gentoo-user] net.eth0 failed to start

[Skippy]

Hi y'all.  I've lost my interwebz and can't view cat pictures.  Major
crisis here.

I've killed the internet connection on two computers by doing a world
upgrade.  Here's what I've got so far.

Focusing on one of the computers:

Did an upgrade, prior to which all was working fine.  To figure out
which packages upgraded I went to my emerge logs.  I thought there might
be a clue there.  Here are the logs, and thus in my mind, a list of all
the packages that were upgraded.

After rebooting I get this at start up

And I'm on kernel 3.12.7 - have been since it came out.  Not using
3.13.x yet as it hasn't so far played nice with Nvidia drivers, which
both of my computers use.

----------------------------

Bringing up interface eth0
ERROR: Interface eth0 does not exist
Ensure you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start

--------------------------

Well that looked pretty simple.  Alls I need ta do is rebuild my modules
'casuse somehow they got splatted.

I do a make modules_install

  DEPMOD  3.12.7-gentoo

-----------------------------

But still the same error message.

I do have kernel 3.13.5 on this box as well, and I can boot that up and
eth0 works just fine.

But since 3.13.5 isn't playing well with nvidia I can't just move
forward with that.  Unless the 3.13.x/nvidia issue has been fixed but
I'd rather not experiment until I fix this.

Additionally my laptop is using a nvidia legacy driver as it (the
laptop) is older than dirt.  So I'm gonna have to fix the problem on the
laptop.

Whew.....  Long winded.  Suggestions please?
Thanks.
