[gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Brian Jones]

ok.  I'm doing a lot of RTFM, and I'm having lots o'
fun learning about all of this, but at the same time,
I'd like to understand why some of the things that
worked off the cd don't work now :(

Just so everyone knows, I'm running on hardware that I
started running linux on 3 1/2 years ago with no
problems.  Here's my list:

1. My NIC used the ne2k-pci module on the
gentoo-rc6-r14 CD flawlessly. I compiled winbond
support into the kernel.  I listed ne2k-pci in the
modules.autoload file.  I put an alias ne2k-pci eth0
in the aliases file.  Still, my NIC doesn't come up on
bootup, saying there's 'no such device'.  'cat
/proc/pci' shows the NIC as a Winbond ethernet
controller at IRQ 9.  ifconfig is doing nothing for
me.  I might be able to get this one eventually, but
some help would be good.  My main point of confusion
is that I built winbond support INTO the kernel, not
as a module, so there's no module to load.  That being
the case, why would the kernel detect the card, but
not the network scripts that enable it?  Hmmm...

2.  I'm getting the same error a million times while
the boot process is starting the various services:

'/etc/init.d/runscript.sh: 1: command not found'  

I also get that same one with '2:' instead of '1:' a
bunch of times.

I'll be working on this stuff, but I do appreciate the
great help I've gotten so far.  

PS - I'm not a lamer who doesn't know how to RTFM.  So
far, 'man *mod*' hasn't really worked out for me -
though I learned a lot.  If you know of a manpage
that'll help, I'll be happy to read it :)

You will basically get this if sleep is not accessible.  This
happens usually when you have /usr on a seperate partition,
and your sh-utils is still an old release.  Thus, when /usr
is not mounted, /etc/init.d/{runscript.sh,halt.sh} cannot find
sh-utils.

To fix this, make sure you have the latest sh-utils installed:

# emerge =sys-apps/sh-utils-2.0.11-r1

Edit /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to suit you, and then type:

# rc-update add net.eth0 default

To start eth0 immediately, then do:

# rc default

(this will bring up any missing scripts, which should include
your new net.eth0 script.)  You could also start it by typing:

# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

I think that this is a cosmetic error that is fixed in more recent
versions of baselayout, but Azarah (Martin Schlemmer) would know more
about this than I.

Re: [gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

Hi all, and thanks, but it's still not working.

I'll have to step away from this to retain my sanity. 
I've been hacking around with it on and off all day,
and I'm very, very frustrated.

I compiled a new kernel along with some networking
modules, including winbond-840, the 3c59x module,
tulip.o, and a couple of others to try out.

What really bothers me is that I've made doubly sure
all of my files are up to date, cat /proc/pci
identifies the device, I've added an alias to
modules.d/aliases AND i386 (alias eth0 <module>),
everything seems in order.  My net.eth0 file looks
good, /etc/hosts is in order.... meanwhile, 'lsmod'
lists NO modules being used upon boot, bootup messages
indicate 'eth0: no such device', as does ifconfig, and
modprobing everything under the sun seems to do
nothing at all.

Another thing that bugs me is that I haven't had this
problem in four years - I fixed it then and I can't
fix it now!  The sysadmin's nightmare!

PS - cat /proc/ioports and cat /proc/pci all seem to
get along well with the device.  Modprobe -c shows
'alias eth0 off', but AFAIK, it'll show that since
it's a system default, even if it's overridden by an
entry in modules.conf - correct me if I'm wrong.

Have you tried typing dmesg to see the kernel messages; look to see if
the kernel detected your network card. Also try bringing the interface
up manually. ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

If neither of these work, try making the network driver into a module.
Then reboot and modprobe the module. Type dmesg and see what the driver
message says.

Re: [gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Brian Jones]

I did all of that! :(

dmesg shows the NIC normally at the very end of the
log.

ifconfig says 'no such device'.

I compiled a new kernel with a bunch of network
drivers as modules, so I'm gonna go and test a bunch
of 'em eventually.  However, the winbond-840 module,
which should've worked, didn't.  So far, no luck.  I
won't be able to work more on this till tonight when I
get home.  Wish me luck.
