[gentoo-user] net.eth0 failed to start

[gentoo-user] net.eth0 failed to start

[Skippy]

Hi y'all.  I've lost my interwebz and can't view cat pictures.  Major
crisis here.

I've killed the internet connection on two computers by doing a world
upgrade.  Here's what I've got so far.

Focusing on one of the computers:

Did an upgrade, prior to which all was working fine.  To figure out
which packages upgraded I went to my emerge logs.  I thought there might
be a clue there.  Here are the logs, and thus in my mind, a list of all
the packages that were upgraded.

---------------------------

After rebooting I get this at start up

And I'm on kernel 3.12.7 - have been since it came out.  Not using
3.13.x yet as it hasn't so far played nice with Nvidia drivers, which
both of my computers use.

----------------------------

Bringing up interface eth0
ERROR: Interface eth0 does not exist

Well that looked pretty simple.  Alls I need ta do is rebuild my modules
'casuse somehow they got splatted.

I do a make modules_install

-----------------------------

But still the same error message.

I do have kernel 3.13.5 on this box as well, and I can boot that up and
eth0 works just fine.

But since 3.13.5 isn't playing well with nvidia I can't just move
forward with that.  Unless the 3.13.x/nvidia issue has been fixed but
I'd rather not experiment until I fix this.

Additionally my laptop is using a nvidia legacy driver as it (the
laptop) is older than dirt.  So I'm gonna have to fix the problem on the
laptop.

Whew.....  Long winded.  Suggestions please?
Thanks.

You upgraded udev and lost support for the legacy network interface
names. You should read [1] to really understand the issue, but as a
workaround you can add the following to your kernel command line:
"net.ifnames=0". Do it in /etc/default/grub (in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
variable) if you use GRUB2 (and create the config again with
grub2-mkconfig), or in /boo/grub/grub.cfg, at the end of the "kernel"
line, if you are using grub-legacy.

What's the output of `ifconfig -a` ?

What's the output of 'lsmod' ?

What's the output of `lspci -k` ?

Sounds like your network devices have been renamed.

Hey Skippy, 

dont worry the lolcats are all still there. udev-210 is the culprit. See [1,2] 
for details. For a quick workaround, add 
  net.ifnames=0
to your kernel command line (e.g. in grub.conf or grub.cfg) and reboot.

Cheers, 
Andreas

Re: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 failed to start *solved*

Yes, that was the correct answer.  Added "net.ifnames=0" to GRUB and 
everything is happy.  Much thanks for your responses.  I am always 
grateful for the collective wisdom of this list.
