Network fails on bootup on freshly installed arch-desktop.

I don't understand why it wouldn't work if I use dhcp. I've tried using dhcpcd
without success. There's two network cards connected. Could it be that Arch doesn't know which one to use? Syslog-NG is also something that fails on boot-up.

One more thing. I can't (of course if I don't have connection) use pacman. It tells me to refresh but if I do pacman --refresh I get the same message.

Regards
Richard

Post your /etc/rc.conf.

Re: Network fails on bootup on freshly installed arch-desktop.

No can do since it's not on this computer. However this is from my laptop and appears to be the same.

#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond alsa)

If it's about the daemons it's the same as here except alsa.

[EDIT]
Note: when I type ifconfig we get different output:

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:200 (200.0 b)  TX bytes:200 (200.0 b)

Is my ouput. Hes output is ONLY the lo and all his values are set to one.

Re: Network fails on bootup on freshly installed arch-desktop.

I didn't really understand that thread but I turned MOD_AUTOLOAD to "no". It didn't work however I noticed it spat out "eth0 unknown interface" or something. Also the "lo" connection had some values; RX/TX packets were set to 400. And also some other packages too.

Any ideas?

Re: Network fails on bootup on freshly installed arch-desktop.

well I have two LANs & modules clashed so I had to blacklist one for the other to work ...


from /etc/rc.conf

#
# Module to load at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a module with a ! to disable it)
#
MODULES=( nvidia it87 i2c-nforce2 i2c-isa !usbserial !sk98lin !8139too !8139cp 8139too)

sk98lin is onboard LAN
8139 is pci LAN card
