eth0 and eth1 interface not found

FoC400 · 2010-12-31 00:51:59

I'm just installed a second arch setup on a second HDD on the same computer.
The system can't recognize either NIC's which are listed as eth0 and eth1 (both are set up in rc.conf).

ifconfig -a only returns the lo interface.

What's really baffling me is that rc.conf is the exact same on both arch setups on the same computer. The only difference is the first HDD is dual-booted with Windows XP, and the second is purely arch.

I might be missing something really simple, but I really can't figure it out.

As root:

dhcpcd eth0

You can do the same for eth1. That should work (for now?).

eth0: interface not found or invalid

Same thing for eth1.

/etc/rc.d/network restart
also returns the same results

Have you looked through the Configuring Network section of the wiki for anything you may have missed?

FoC400 · 2010-12-31 01:21:08

Yep, I checked everything.

I found something that might be the issue.
I'm looking in daemon.log and the first message says FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory.

There is not a 2.6.35-ARCH folder in /lib/modules, but there is a 2.6.33-ARCH.
What would be the easiest way to fix this? Can I copy the folder and rename it?

Try a system update or reinstall kernel26? I'm running 2.6.36-ARCH. I suppose copying and renaming can't hurt though.

Is there a way to run a system update without an internet connection?
Renaming the folder didn't seem to work. I'll try again using the netinstall image. Core image hasn't done me much good lately.

How did you install the system? Via the 2010.05 iso? It has kernel26-2.6.33.4-1 in it, so it shouldn't be asking for 2.6.35-ARCH.

Edit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … repository will help you with the upgrade.
Simply copying the packages from your older install to the pacman cache should do the trick too.

I did a Core install from the 2010.5 iso.
I don't believe I updated it without the network, I didn't even know I could do that.

What would be the easiest way to fix this? I was thinking of reinstalling with a Netinstall again tomorrow morning, unless there's an easier fix.

No package on your new (2.6.33-ARCH) install should be aware of 2.6.35-ARCH modules. Something's wrong.

Settings up custom local repository is very easy.
