hello,
I have a portable that has been working great. Now, the eth0 link
does not stay up. If I watch the system boot, all looks fine.
Looking at 'dmesg' the relevant entry are:
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x2000, 00:90:f5:2b:cb:18, IRQ 11
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/1839D'
<snip>
[drm] Setting GART locaatoin based on new memory map
[drm] Loading R200 Microcode
[drm] writeback test succeded in 1 usecs
'eth0: link down'
I do not think that 'drm has anything to do with this, but I do not
remember it in my dmesg before on this system. Perhaps updateding
something on the windows side (corrupted the bios?)......
I've rebuild the kernel and the realtek driver is built into the kernel.
etho, the built in realtek chips has always worked before. I keep
several older kernels around and
ready to use in grub.conf. They all suffer the same problem.
ifconfig -a and netstat -nr look normal (similar to other workstations
on the same ethernet segment).
I've double check /etc/conf.d/ and /etc/init.d/ and all of the files
and links are correct.
I have notice that /etc/init.d/net.lo got upgraded during an routine
'emerge -uDNvp world' (no I did not save the older version)
but, I'm hoping that's not the problem.
I know the ethernet chip is good because the portable works fine
booted into windows2K. I have switched ethernet cables with a known good
cable and that is not the problem either.
Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome.
James
