[SOLVED] network is not detected r8169 module is not loaded

Hey there,

I have problems to get my archlinux server running, it has no network.
It's a server at kimsufi so I only can chroot in the new installation.

It looks like the module 'r8169' isn't loaded at start, so it has no network.
After adding '/etc/modules-load.d/r8169.conf' with 'r8169' inside (w/o quotes) the journalctl says:

systemd-modules-load[92]: Failed to lookup alias 'r8169': Function not implemented

The installation is up-to-date, newest kernel.
I hope you have some ideas how to get that module loaded.

Greetings

edit: I tried it just now again and it worked atm. If network will work completely, I will mark this thread as solved.

I'm sorry that I opened the thread.
I had built myself a kernel with kdump and had set debug and loglevel=7 parameters.

Either one of the parameter was bad or my buildprocess was bad.
Now (with the original kernel) I don't get that error and the module is loading fine.

I have (after about a month) the server up and running.
At least I got some new experience.
