My server has only one network interface (eth0) but the driver doesn't get loaded anymore after I rebooted the system. If I put "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko" in /etc/init.d/boot.local, then eth0 comes back up but then tcpdump cannot find the network interface. I booted off Knoppix Live DVD and everything works just fine (including tcpdump). I haven't changed the ethernet card so the MAC address is the same.
The module ("tg3") is not "loaded" in YaST Network Devices configuration. I been to Yast network configuration and selected Hardware and there is no "tg3" in there. I have put tg3 manually and restarted the server but it seemed to have disappeared from there and it also removed my default route!
I also edited the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file and added "tg3" on MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="" with no luck.
Here is my /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file:
BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='192.16.20.15/24' MTU='' NAME='Hewlett-Packard Company NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no'
Here is the error I get:
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 eth0 No interface found failedSetting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .failed
I also get various other "errors" like: dm_mod failed, can't determine current run level (although everything boots fine to run level 5), cpu microcode failed - when the system (re)boots.
I have also made a file /etc/rc.d/after.local with:
#/bin/sh rmmod tg3 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
but to no avail.
If I reinstall the distro, it will come back up again (but I don't want to do that).
The kernel is 2.6.22.5-31-default. I have the same ethernet card on other OpenSUSE 10.3 systems that's working fine - so far.
Thanks for any help.
Chris, Go check /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules open the file and see if your eth0 has now become an eth1 for some reason. If so, just delete the lines referring to eth1 and reboot should cure it... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
