Description Giorgio Giaretta 2006-01-20 16:09:31 UTC
I have just installed gentoo linux on my Dell dimension 8250 from installation CD. I can access the network before and after chrooting. The module loaded is e100.
After reboot, the network does not come up. The system does not report any errors. The module e100 is loaded.

here are some output from few test commands:

ifconfig -a 

eth0 Linkencap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:C9:F4:9D

I know the card is working because when I boot from CD evrything works.
I have used genkernel during the installation

The version of Linux is 2.6.14-gentoo-r5
An the processor is Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-01-20 16:43:24 UTC
Perhaps a faulty cable?
Comment 2 Giorgio Giaretta 2006-01-20 20:57:24 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
> Perhaps a faulty cable?
Nope, as I said when I boot from the install CD I can access the network
just fine. I can ping yahoo.....
Only after rebooting the network is not accessible anymore.
It is very reproducible.
There are at least two differences between the boot from CD and the boot from hard disk. The version of linux and the verion of the driver e100 are different. The driver when I boot from Cd is 3.4.8-K2-NAPI
and it is 3.4.14.K2-NAPI when I boot from the hard disk.
For Linux the boot from Cd is version 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 and
from the hard disk is 2.6.14-gentoo-r5.

Hope this helps

thanks




 
Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-21 10:11:07 UTC
Please post "emerge --info" output to every bug that you file.

You could try forcing the interface to come up with "ifconfig eth0 up"
Please attach full "dmesg" output from the booted system.

Done
Comment 7 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-10 08:56:22 UTC
Can you reproduce this on the latest development kernel? Currently 2.6.16_rc2
Comment 8 Giorgio Giaretta 2006-02-25 11:59:40 UTC
yes I can I have just reinstalled 2.6.15-gentoo-r1
and have the same problem
Comment 9 Giorgio Giaretta 2006-02-26 06:05:23 UTC
This may help:
I tried dmesg both from when booting from installation CD and from hard disk:

From Installation CD (network card works):
e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network dRiver, 3.4.8-k2-NAPI

and the interrupt is irq 18

From HD installation (network card does not work):
e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network dRiver, 3.4.14-k4-NAPI

and the interrupt is irq 17

Is thi sisgnificant?
Can I install the old e100 driver to try?
How do I do that?

Please reproduce on the latest development kernel, currently 2.6.16-rc5. You can find this under vanilla-sources in the testing tree.
Comment 11 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-20 13:06:30 UTC
Please reopen when you have tested the latest kernel.
