[gentoo-user] net.eth0 starting yet not starting

[gentoo-user] net.eth0 starting yet not starting

[Lord Sauron]

Weird problem.

On my server net.eth0 isn't starting, yet it is.

During boot it goes through the normal routine, it starts net.lo and
everything, however, then it goes into runlevel 3 and then all my
services fail (apache, sshd, ddclient, etc), complaining that net.eth0
isn't running.  I log in and try to start net.eth0 and it tells me
that it's already running!

I tried adding net.eth0 to runlevel boot, boot and default, and then
just default, but it still doesn't work.  Does anyone know what is
going on?  This is really confusing me.

Have you tried zapping net.eth0 then restarting it?

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 zap
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
/etc/init.d/sshd start
etc...

Well, this is happening all at boot before login, so I want to fix it
there so that sshd start at boot so I can hide the server in the
garage and administer it remotely.

I'll go do that once I get home.  I hadn't thought of that.

Any other possible causes?  I mean, if that doesn't work, I may have
to take Gentoo off the server and use something else : (

Didn't work.  Does anyone know what could be going on?  This is really
odd...  I have this feeling that I'm in way over my head.

have you tried ifconfig? that command shows whether your eth0
is up, have IP assigned and other things, post result here if unsure

what does dmesg say about your network card?

Alright, your original recompile of the kernel fix does work.

I just automatically installed the wrong driver.  I'm used to hacking
my Athlon64 to death, so I installed the forcedeth driver.  Wrong!  I
needed some PCI drivers for 3Com/Linksys PCI cards.

My mistake.  It works just fine now.
