[opensuse] eth0 and eth1 renamed
Hi all, Need help with new installed system (11.1). Yesterday after the install I updated system with you, and after that (it seems) I am having trouble with networking. This morning reports came, that there was no Internet, and after a reboot I ended up with only one network card. Config is like this: - 8169 on mobo (Gbit) for internal 192.168.0.254 fixed address, eth0 - 8139 PCI (10/100) for Internet on dhcp, eth1 This morning when I looked in the system I could see them both with ifconfig, but the internal network was not pingable. After a reboot I can only see eth1, and in dmesg I found this: eth0 renamed to eth1 by udevd Now with ifconfig I do no longer see eth0. Ran yast, there are still 2 networkdevices in the config, but eth0 shows no MAC-address. Letting yast reconfigure and start the network does not help. How can I get eth0 back to life? It is quite urgent, there is also mail flowing in and out of this machine. -- L. de Braal BraHa Systems NL - Terneuzen T +31 115 649333 F +31 115 649444 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No MAC-address?? That would be quite serious.

Leen, to start with, please post output of 'ip addr' as it is now. Maybe also output of 'lspci' and the contents of of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Leen,

Don't know exactly what had happened, I went there, because after I moved the 70-persistent-net.rules (thinking it would be rewritten after reboot) I could not get contact from my location. The file contained only one line, btw. Coming there I found out that the driver (r8169) was not loaded, and after reboot would not load. Then I completely took the system off power, and in the BIOS switched off unneeded hardware (serial, parallel, sound,..) A boot later, the hardware worked again and I could reconfigure with yast. Checked if after reboots it stayed the way it was configured, seems ok now. eth0 and eth1 are switched, compared to yesterday, so all I had to do was change SuSEfirewall2 script to get things running. Now the 70-persistent-net.rules has two adapters again, so it seems ok. Some powerglitch or something kicking out the hardware?

I think it normally is, although I usually just delete the contents of it. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is very likely https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546575 See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.2 section "Installation". Very interesting to see this issue on a plain openSUSE 11.1. Please add your experience to the bug 546575. Even or in particular if you're still on 11.1. We might even need some log files. See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST section "I reported a YaST2 bug, and now I am asked to "attach y2logs". What does that mean, and how do I do that?" Also a tar ball of /etc/udev/ might be of use.

Coming back on this one, Lars, because I just experienced this again this afternoon. Losing network connectivity, while nothing has been updated. Don't think this is the same bug as you have. It appears, that the driver r8169 is losing the hardware. I cannot ping from this network adapter, but according to the system, everything is up and running (ifconfig ok, no mention of "link down" or so in messages). I have found this page, that mentions problems with this adapter and board: http://developer.novell.com/yes/103807.htm I am running kernel 2.6.27.37-0.1-default x86_64, openSUSE 11.1 on this board. I do not get a kernel panic, but lose all contact with the network on this adapter, and the only way to get it running again is shutdown the system, taking all the power away, even have to unplug the network cable. The rpm mentioned in the novell-page seems to be built against another kernel, and I did not test, but I think it will not work with what I have. Is somebody aware of this bug, are there patched sources of this module so that I can build it myself, or is someone working on this for 11.1 (and 11.2, of course)? Or do I have to report this in bugzilla?
We might even need some log files. See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST section "I reported a YaST2 bug, and now I am asked to "attach y2logs". What does that mean, and how do I do that?"
Also a tar ball of /etc/udev/ might be of use.
