Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 problems after installing gentoo 1.4rc4
By chance do you have ACPI (the power management stuff) enabled in the kernel? If you do, you might try turning it off and see what happens. When ever I've tried ACPI, it has caused a variety problems ranging from the networking problems you describe to system lockups with the nvidia branded driver. I hope these problems will be ironed out with the 2.6 kernel.

In particular, I'm interested in your IO-APIC and ACPI table stuff because there is a small chance of that misprogramming the IRQ routing tables. If the system delivers the IRQ from the ethernet card to the wrong place (due to a misprogrammed IRQ routing table) then the driver essentially never sees a single interrupt and hence, not a single packet. Judging from the fact that it works fine for both the Gentoo LiveCD boot as well as the RH 9 HD boot, all three setups using the same driver... the only thing that differs is the kernel config, so this is quite possible that you have IO-APIC or ACPI issues causing all this fun. Can you also post the full dmesg output right after a boot into Gentoo off the HD? _And_ also a full dmesg output from a boot into Gentoo off the LiveCD? (In both cases, you can do: # dmesg > /yourredhat9partition/gentoo.boot-hd and likewise for gentoo.boot-cd, and also cp /usr/src/linux/.config /yourredhat9partition/gentoo.config then upload these files for emailing.) You're welcome to send these directly to me to avoid spamming the list if you like... if I see anything useful, I can summarize it to the list. Also, what kind of system is it? (CPU make, model, frequency, and motherboard make and model. If you know, what chipset is on the motherboard such as SiS900, etc. This is important.) Is it an uniprocessor or multiprocessor system? -Dan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Steven Marcotte was rumored to have written: > By chance do you have ACPI (the power management stuff) enabled in the kernel? > If you do, you might try turning it off and see what happens. Yeah, agreed. Looks like the LiveCD boot disables it with a acpi=off parameter passed to the kernel, which is probably why it works then. Likely use of ACPI broke IRQ routing in some way which probably explains why the driver didn't process a single packet, is my best guess. -Dan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm no spring chicken when it comes to UNIX (and UNIX-like clones for some of our resident pedants ;) ) but that still bites me from time to time. Further compounded by the fact that the various OS/distros don't usually be picky about FQDN vs non-FQDN hostname because it doesn't assume anything about the environment the machine is in. (DNS, no DNS, domain vs no domain, or just plain don't care, etc) As for numbering scheme with /etc/env.d, if it's anything like SysV init scripts, it appears that the numbering is mostly to ensure the more important basic stuff gets set or processed first. For instance, with /etc/env.d, you see: 00basic, 01hostname -- number one stuff to get set early on!

Modules offers the greatest flexibility and lessens the need to reboot to enable/disable functionality.

Looks good on all counts. Now, the fact is, there's _0_ packets or errors... that seriously bothers me the most. Try pinging the default route IP again, and see if you get anywhere. Not going to be a cable issue (which usually lists some TX packets and errors) because it works fine in a dual-booted RH setup. Also, could try booting into RH, and do 'ifconfig eth0' and compare to see if stuff (like the MTU, for instance) agrees. Now, normally, 0'd counters for an ethernet device might mean that the driver (module) is not working or didn't recognize the chipset, even though it loaded. Just because a module loaded, doesn't mean it will actually handle a device. I'm baffled, if the exact same module worked ok on the LiveCD. Hmm.

As for checking packages... you'd need to do this to emulate rpm -qa: # emerge gentoolkit # qpkg -I -v [search string] (or just 'qpkg -I -v' to look through the whole list) Although until you get eth0 working, probably don't have an easy way of grabbing gentoolkit-0.1.30.tar.bz2 (or .gz) into /usr/portage/distfiles for that emerge to work. :) (short of booting into RH, d/l'ing that file, cp'ing over to the Gentoo partition, etc) One workaround and a way

Nah, it's referring to a whole subnet, saying anything destined for an IP in that /24 netblock will exit through eth0. This is necessary to make the default route work properly. The default route itself is pointed at 192.168.1.1, and the flags looks fine. > also, when i am shown the login screen, it says: "This is farrell.(none) That's a known bug with agetty, I believe... someone submitted a patch for this on this mailing list a few weeks ago.

I'm going to guess that either it's a eth0 issue in some way OR it's a linksys issue of some sort with NAT. Just to double check -- you don't have ipchains or a similar firewall utility loaded and enabled on your box? Can you post the output of: # ifconfig eth0 and # lsmod Which kernel tree package are you using? gentoo-sources? -Dan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] eth0 problems after installing gentoo 1.4rc4
first, i have used linux for close to five years, but this is the first time i have tried any distro other than redhat. :) i know a fair amount about linux, and i have compiled programs before, but i am not an expert, as you will probably realize by the end of this email :) so on to the problem. i successfully installed gentoo linux 1.4rc4, and its on a dual boot pc... redhat9/gentoo. i installed it from a stage2 tarball, and had it optimized for my athlon-xp cpu. the live cd worked perfectly with my nic, all i had to do was boot with "gentoo nodhcp" and run "net-setup eth0" to configure my nic, as i have a static IP. it seems my nic uses the "8139too" kernel module, as lsmod on the live cd, and on redhat9, both seemed to use that module. i did what the gentoo install docs said, putting a line containing "8139too" to /etc/modules.autoload, edited /etc/conf.d/net to have my ip, gateway, etc all in it as it's in-document comments told me to, and edited /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname /etc/dnsdomainname, etc...here are my settings: Static IP: 192.168.1.105 Network Device: eth0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (a linksys router--NOT performing dns services) Broadcast: 192.168.1.255 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 64.105.166.122 (NOTE: this is NOT a personal dns...it does NOT cover my home lan...its from my isp.) the problem is, i cant ping anothing but my mechine. ping localhost/ping 192.168.1.105 work, but ping 192.168.1.1/ping google.com don't work! i dont know what is causing this! :/ after tring to seek help in #gentoo on irc.freenode.net, i didn't have any success. i am not sure if this is my problem, but when i run "route" on gentoo, it prints this: Kernel IP Routing Table DestinationGateway Genmask Flags Metic Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0* 255.255.255.0 U0 00 eth0 loopbacklocalhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 00lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 00 eth0 shouldn't the top entry by 192.168.1.1not 192.168.1.0?? also, when i am shown the login screen, it says: "This is farrell.(none) (Linux i686...)" but it should read farrell.freemans.org! :( farrell is my hostname, freemans.org is the domainname in my home LAN (NOT on the internet!) i set /etc/hostname, and /etc/dnsdomain correctly...at least as best i can tell. and i setup /etc/hosts correctly, afaik. here are two screenshots (literally ^_-) of my screen showing this, in case you don't quite get what i was saying earlier about route, my hostname, etc: http://reblended.com/www/upgrdman/01.jpg http://reblended.com/www/upgrdman/02.jpg and lastly, here is my /etc/conf.d/net file: # /etc/conf.d/net: # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $ # Global config file for net.* rc-scripts # This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface # iface_eth0="192.168.1.105 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" #iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0" # For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp" # For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth? # #iface_eth0="dhcp" #dhcpcd_eth0="..." # For adding aliases to a interface # #alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4" # NB: The next is only used for aliases. # # To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases, # uncomment and change accordingly.
