Subject: [gentoo-user] eth0 does not exist
Date: Sat, 27 May 2006 21:14:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4479238B.9020806@speakeasy.org> (raw)

I'm installing linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7.

Network initialization fails during startup:

 * Starting eth0
 *   Loading networking modules for eth0
 *     modules: iptunnel ifconfig dhcpcd apipa
 *       ifconfig provides interface
 *       dhcpcd provides dhcp
 *   Bringing up eth0
 *     dhcp
 *       eth0 does not exist
 *     Trying fallback configuration
 *     192.168.0.4
 *     eth0 does not exist

The problem appears to be that /sys/class/net/eth0 does not exist.
This is a pseudo-filesystem like proc that I cannot manipulate.

Is there some configuration file that needs initialization or a package 
that I need to install?

The documentation states: "DHCP is used by default and does not require 
any further configuration."
