[opensuse] [OpenSUSE 10.3] network card disappear after reboot
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.

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.

Chris,

Tried with no luck: 1. remove insmod tg3 entry from boot.local and reboot 2. no eth0 or (ethN) found 3. edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and remove SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:11:23:f9:46:a7", NAME="eth0" 4. reboot and get error: no eth0 found (no network) 5. check the file (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) again & it's empty (other than the commented out lines, of course) 6. load the network driver with insmod and the file is populated again with the same info. as before Thanks for any other help on how to fix this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Strange, What I would do next is Yast -> network -> network device, select and delete your NIC, then 'add' your NIC back (confirm proper module, etc.) and restart the network. No logic to it, but I have seen instances, where for lack of better words, the network card config gets 'corrupted?' despite showing the correct module and settings in yast, and deleting the card and then re-adding it seems to straighten the problem out. -- David C.
