[SOLVED] No network (carrier lost) during install

el_zoona · 2012-08-13 16:54:24

Hi, I'm trying to install the latest ISO (i686) in a HP 6910p, with in an Intel 82566MM eth and according to /var/log/daemons.log the carriers is lost, according to my router, the IP is assigned but the connection only last between 4 and 10 seconds.

pinging anything results in Network is unreachable.

Daemons.log says: eth0: carrier lost; MTU restored to 1500; Carrier acquired; sending ipv6 router solicitation; sendmsg: cannot assing requested address; Then the ip is leased, and immediately after that the MTU is set to 576 and the carrier lost again.

I've tried using dhcpd eth0 --nohook mtu. Also tried dhclient, but it only worked one time and can't remember why! Removed /var/run/dhcpd*. restarted network daemon, everything. The eth interface works fine from Ubuntu 12.04 livecd.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot!

EDIT: Not really solved, but fixed for now. See #3 post for solution.

What kind of network card are you using? list the output of lspci. I had really really spotty connectivity with my ethernet when trying to install, until I realized that I had a Realtek 8168B, while the standard install/installer only has the r8169 module. So once I downloaded and began using the r8168 module it works great now.

An Intel 8256MM. So far it's working, i've deleted everything from dhcpd (rm /var/run/dhcpd*) and stopeed dhcpd from trying to control the card (dhcpd -x eth0) the dhclient (dhclient eth0) and it's working right now. Would install (explicitly installing dhclient since it's not in base) and see how it works from there!

Thanks!

No problem, even though I really didn't help you at all. But good job helping yourself! I use dhclient exclusively. I still have dhcpcd installed just in case (the worst possible situation I think would be needing dhcpcd to debug, yet also needing a stable interweb connection to install that dhcpcd). I don't remember why I started using dhclient, but I figure there must have been some kind of a reason for it... otherwise I probably would not even know there was an alternative to dhcpcd.
