[gentoo-user] Network is not starting

[gentoo-user] Network is not starting

[Adrian Vraciu]

I had the bad surprise the see the next error when my system boots, and is 
about starting the netowrk services:

Starting eth0
No usable addresses families found
socket: no such file or directory
*eth0 does not exist

the same thing is happening for eth1. for eth0 i use dhcp and for eth1 i use 
static addresses.

Could someone give me an advice?

Hi,
First run "etc-update" or "dispatch-conf" to see if there're any conf
files to update.
Next check /etc/conf.d/net file which may have been overwritten by some
update. Edit it and make the necessary configurations again.
Check ethX existance manually - #ifconfig.

i've been running etc-update and dispatch-conf and there is no file for 
update. /etc/conf.d/net shows the next lines:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
config_eth1=( "10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.0.0.255" )

and for ifconfig:

# ifconfig -a
No usable address families found.
socket: No such file or directory

You seem to have no IP protocol support compiled into your kernel. Or
is there a module reg. IP support that you need to modprobe first?

and there is no need for modprobe because most of the drivers are built-in. 
the kernel worked till yesterday very fine. actually, i have three different 
kernel and i have the same problem.

I think he meant to check /var/log/messages - anything interesting in there?

Hi,
Check the links in /etc/runlevels/{boot,default,nonetwork,single}
In all of them you have a link to a file under /etc/init.d/* according
to runlevel configuration. Some or all of the links might point to a
nonexistent files (e.g. /tmp/stage1/etc/init.d/consolefont).
There's also a Bug about this in Bugzilla, fix the links manually or
find a script (Bug-?) which will do this for you.

Hmm, not good.

What is the output of:

1. cat /proc/net/protocols
2. cat /proc/net/dev
3. ls -lA /proc/net

Well everything in kernel-land looks ok to me.  Can you send the output of:

Ok, thanks.

I've looked through the sources for ifconfig (net-tools-1.60), and
based on the strace output you provided, I don't see how it can be
getting to the "No usable address families found" message.    That the
socket() calls work should be sufficient to bypass this branch in the
code.  Unless the ifconfig binary is corrupted....

I suggest posting the outputs of:

1. emerge -pv net-tools
2. emerge --info
3. cat /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/net-tools-*/CFLAGS

I also would try rebuilding net-tools: "emerge --oneshot net-tools".
