Fixed - Network wont start after upgrade

Eltnux · 2005-10-02 17:43:50

I have just done a pacman -Syu and upgraded all the pacakges listed, when i rebooted my network failed to start. when i shut down i states that eth0 is an invalid device.

Also on boot up it failed to load some of my modules (i2cnvidia2, snd98??). When i did a locate of the 12c module it found it in a subdirectory of /lib/modules/??.12-ARCH. Which when i tried to list files in that directory was not there. I then did an updatedb to make sure that the locate datbase was uptodate and the module is actually in /lib/modules/??.13-ARCH/.

Does this mean that modprobe is looking in the wrong place for the modules, and if so how do i change it.

Any help much appreciated.

Is your boot manager properly updated? Doesn't lilo do something like this if you forget to run it?

lilo seems to work fine as i can duel boot into Win XP and linux.

But have you rerun lilo since you updated the kernel?

Yes

Try to boot with hotplug. Maybe the modules were renamed or something.

Sorry, what do you mean by boot with hotplug

I dont understand this but i have just gone back into linux and the network started fine all the modules were found (except nvidia but i just did a pacman -S nvidia abd rebooted).

Wish i knew what had happened to change it but all well again.

Thanks for your help

AFAIK you don't have to reboot everytime, just do a modprobe. that's the nice thing about linux, except for kernel upgrades, you don't have to reboot, if you don't want to (and even for kernel upgrades there is the kexec patch).

If its a nvidia one, and you used propietary drivers, then after a Kernel upgrade you should reinstall it (because it needs to rebuild the module). So do a pacman -Sy nforce.
If its not a nvidia nforce based motherboard, then you should give a little description about it.
