Re: [PLUG] Reg. 8139too.ko module loading

["Michael Bevilacqua" <michael@bevilacqua.us>]

Hey Padmaja-

First you should check to see if you can boot into an older kernel version. Look at your GRUB/LILO configuration to see if you have that option.

If that doesn't work I would suggest you download or copy from the install CD the default CentOS default kernel for your release version. It should be an RPM and then reinstall your kernel.

If the release version you obtain is the same version as what you have running, see if there is a higher or a lower version. That will save you having to deal with RPM conflicts, etc.

Good luck.

Hi all,

 

yesterday, I installed Nistnet on my PC with Centos 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL. The Nistnet requires RTC module to run which my PC was not detecting. I tried to load the Real time clock support module by doing make menuconfig and choosing RTC under /devicedrivers/characterdevices/Realtime clock. Then I loaded this as a module by pressing M on the menu, exited the menuconfigu, saved the changes and did a make modules_install. When i reboot, now, the system gives many errors at boot time like intel microcode.ko not found, sunrpc.ko not found, irq balance failed and additionally, the ethernet port wont get recognized. when i try doing modprobe 8139too.ko, it says not module not found. The module is very much there under /lib/modules and it is not a file with 0 size or simlink or something. I also did depmod -a and the modprobe 8139too.ko but this too does not help........ Please help....

I have many servers running on this pc .The Ethernet settings under /etc/sysconfig/ifcon_eth0 is intact but I get the error message Device eth0 has a different mac address than expected, ignoring. Please let me know how to get the system back to the older state ASAP......

 

 

Thank You,

Bubbly
