Kernel upgrade, eth0 gone.
O Them Who Know, I upgraded the kernel from the Woody 2.4.18-bf2.4 that I installed with to a 2.4.19, by installing the kernel-image. All went well, initrd and all. But this morning, after booting my new kernel, eth0 is not up! That's where the LAN is, I dial out with PPP. These seem totally unconnected to me, and I'm puzzled. Whatever could have changed with the network? -- Juha Siltala -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
eth0 gone
I'm running the unstable dist and a recent upgrade seems to have destroyed information needed for my network interfaces. Running ifconfig displays the proper details for eth0 and lo but running ifup gives a Bad file descriptor error. The /etc/network/interfaces file is intact but under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ there is only all and default and no eth0 or lo anymore. How do I regenerate these? What is the source of this problem? Can I keep it from happening again? adTHANKSvance, Chris

Can I net-tools version 1.58-1 was broken Install net-tools != 1.58-1 keep it from happening again? Don't run unstable - it's normal that unstable sometimes breaks. adTHANKSvance, Chris cu, Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.
Re: eth0 gone
Thanks, Adrian, That did the trick. I know the risks of running unstable and I'm willing to take them to get the more up-to-date packages. Actually, I run the stable dist on a somewhat more mission critical machine.
