| bieb | bobnn... now the system is telling me that "forcedeth device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization" |
| bobnn | bieb - I'm out of ideas. |
| bieb | I dont know why all of the sudden it thinks eth0 is gone |
| bobnn | forcedeth - driver? |
| bieb | nvlan |
| twb | bieb: maybe the NIC is physically loose inside the case e.g. during shipping |
| bieb | it is built onto the board I built the PC the bad thing is it worked fine 2 days ago |
| Robocop | bieb.......I build pcs to.........Im not sure how its done under linux........but try and factory reset the ethernet adaapter like you could under cough windows |
| bieb | ok.. Robo.. I will have to look up how to do that on Gigabyte's website |
| Robocop | bieb.........when you see a "string of numbers\letters" you should be ok from there........also if you have a router involved......refresh that from the 192.168.0.1 addy :) |
| action | twb stares blankly at Robocop |
| twb | stares blankly at Robocop |
| bieb | what string of numbers/letters? |
| Robocop | twb....and whys that? |
| twb | Robocop: I'm having a great deal of difficulty in understanding what you say. |
| Robocop | bieb.......under windows like I said........you neednt get a connection.......its like a pinging.....showed if the ethernet card was working twb.....maybe you need a computer course? |
| twb | Maybe all the regulars have already plonked Robocop. (Maybe they've plonked me, too!) bieb: is the network actually up? |
| Robocop | does not understand the term "plonked" |
| twb | Robocop: don't worry about it. |
| bieb | twb, yes the network is working fine.. this comp is on the same network |
| Robocop | twb......Im not.....dont worry!........Ive only come in here to ask about berl with centos......like is it possibe......2 Ive had the same problem with liux and ethernet card and Im just giving pointers out to bieb......thats all |
| twb | bieb: so am I correct in saying that what you're seeing are *warnings* and not errors? |
| bieb | well during the boot process it is an error that eth0 is not there so it cant be initialized |
| twb | bieb: OK, so it's working *now*, but it wont be working without manual work after reboot? |
| bieb | no.. still not working at all if I go to command prompt and type ifup eth0, it says, forcedeth device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization |
| twb | bieb: and does "ifconfig eth0" work? |
| bieb | nope |
| twb | Is the appropriate kernel module (driver) listed in lsmod? |
| Robocop | bieb........hhmm......try this the card is slotted in the MB? |
| bieb | error is...error fetching interface information; Device not found the card is part of the MB |
| twb | I'd guess that you have not loaded / unloaded the NIC driver from the kernel somehow (ICBW, of course). |
| bieb | in lsmod, the forcedeth is used by 0 twb.. what should I try then? |
