OK, I edited the net file on *both* machines
identically, like so:
# For a static configuration, use something like this
# (They all do exactly the same thing btw)
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24" )
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
Now, the older box(K6) with the new install(2.6.15)
boots without error finds the NIC and sets up the
network. ifconfig reveals all is cool.
But the newer box(Sempron) with the
earlier(2.6.12)kernel finds the on-board NIC but
doesn't set up the net nor give any errors. ifconfig
shows only the loop device is operational. The correct
module, forcedeth, *is* installed
okay, so is there a symlink from /etc/init.d/net.lo to /etc/init.d/
net.eth0? If there is, what happens when you issue "/etc/init.d/
net.eth0 start" as root? if there's not, make it, then issue the
command mentioned previously. be nice to be tailing /var/log/
messages at the time you do that.
