[gentoo-user] Anyone Know Why a New Kernel Would Kill Networking?

[Michael Haan]

I didn't change any networking options, but it looks like networking
it trying to use IPv6 after installing a new kernel.  Why, and how do
I fix it?

Say you switched from kernel A to kernel B:
What exactly is A and what B ?

Sounds like something to do more with baselayout than with the kernel.
The big question is can you still start up your networking by hand.  IE:

ifconfig eth0 
route add default gw 

If this doesn't work see if your network card module is loaded.  If it
does work does /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start work?  If not, check
/etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/rc as suggested elsewhere.

Did you just copy your .config file from src-dir1 to src-dir2, which may
work most of the time but is not advised, or did you manually
reconfigure your kernel ?

I'll take a look at those things, but the odd thing is I can boot the
old kernel and networking is just fine.  Only the kernel has changed
(and not even the kernel options).

If I where you I would make sure that all modules are working and closly
look at $ dmesg. If that doesn't help, I would try a stable release, as
2.11.10 ...

You know, my controller is an onboard nforce CK8S.  Did something
break with that after 2.6.9?

Maybe you put in support for IPv6, which you didn't before?

Why not take it out of the kernel? If you don't need it (very probable), that 
is.

Nope.  As near as I can tell, everything nVidia goes to crap when you
install a new kernel.  The list of things nVidia - previously working
- which no longer work:

1) Ethernet - forcedeth stops working, nvnet won't build
2) X - 7174 gives some rm_init error
3) sata_nv - hangs indefinitely

This is pretty fun.

Did you make the modules - emerge nvidia when you're up and running on the 
new kernel?

I actually had all those working under a 2.6.12-rc[34] kernel.

The nvidia modules build against whichever kernel is linked to /usr/src/
linux, so it is possible to build modules for your new kernel before you
bot from it.

Building them was easy.  Having them actually work seems to be a whole
different story.
