Non-existent eth0

Running MDV 2008.
My ethernet port on the motherboard went south, so I plugged
in an ethernet PCI board. It works fine as eth1.

While booting up, there are some messages like:
Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present delaying initialization
.....
Device eth0 does not exist (repeated about 5 times).

Where does the name eth0 exist so I can remove it?

Here, extract this script, chmod it, run it as root, then serach for eth0.

-------- standard debug network problem text/script follows: ------------
dump_net.txt version 4.1

If you read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
it will suggest you provide any information about your setup which might
help troubleshoot your problem. Example, Internet connection type,
(cable, adsl,,,), it's hardware, (vendor/model of the modem).
Maybe that your system is hooked to a hub/switch/router and type of
hookup, (Ethernet,usb, wireless,...), distribution, config file values,... .

We need to know about your network hardware and see your config settings.

Something does not start up, try
dmesg
and/or look through /var/log/messages for an error message.

If your problem is slow network give a URL so we can try it.

Once you get your network running, you may want to run xx one last time
and save the output file for disk crash/new installs

Might not hurt to save xx for one of a network debugging checklist steps.

The following ambidextrous script is for suse, mandriva, ubuntu, kubuntu
and will dump your hardware status, network settings and config files used
in network setup. We need that information to troubleshoot your problem.

If you are having to use windows to access Usenet:
Format a diskette on the windows system.

Copy the following xx.txt script into xx.txt using notepad.exe
then save xx.txt to the diskette/cd/usb stick.

To get the script results back to Windows and
none of the above hardware works, you can use http://www.fs-driver.org/

If you do not want some malware writing to linux. You can replace it
with http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ which does not
provide write access to linux.

The above assumes you have not created a FAT partition to exchange
files between OSs. If you did, copy dosa.txt to it from linux and read
it from windows.

I do recommend remove/installing the windows/linux file system
driver after you get the linux network up.

Makes your Windows Anti Virus scanner run much faster after removal.

Also, if logged into windows, it would be nice to include your windows
network settings. Click up a Prompt/cmd/terminal and add in contents from
ipconfig /all
when you reply with linux settings.

If using linux for Usenet access, su - root, copy script text into xx
chmod +x xx
./xx

and include a.txt (if on linux) or dosa.txt (if on windows) in your reply.

NOTE: to become root, you need to do a
su - root
not su root

For the suse, ubuntu, kubuntu users,
sudo -i
chmod +x xx
../xx

exit will exit the sudo -i command.

If xx is not in your home directory, you will have to provide the full
path in place of $HOME. Example:
sudo -i
chmod +x /some/where/xx
/some/where/xx

and then copy xx.txt to the diskette.

On some linux distributions, you may need to get into the User/Group
screen, show all users, double click root, create the password, and
enable root. Root's password should never be the same as anyone else's.

To move xx.txt from diskette to the linux box, click up a linux terminal
su - root
(root's passwd)

mkdir -p /floppy
mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /floppy
tr -d '\015' < /floppy/xx.txt > xx
chmod +x xx
../xx

Back on the windows OS, you can cut/paste the a:\dosa.txt into your reply
under windows.
Do not attach it.

When you do reply, please remove/trim my response/text/script from your reply
before you add in the results/output of the script.

If you are dual booting the box, you can copy xx.txt to linux from windows.
Note: The following assumes /dev/hda1 is where windows is installed on the
first partition on the C: drive
If you have sata drive, you may have to use /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/hda1.

cat /etc/fstab to see which value will be required.
Do keep quotes used in the following:
mkdir -p /doze
mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /doze
tr -d '\015' < "/doze/wherever/you_saved/xx.txt" > xx
umount /doze

On windows you can read dosa.txt from a linux partition if you installed
windows linux file system driver from
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm

Remember to remove/uninstall it to allow your Windows Anti Virus
scanner to run faster.

In /etc/udev/rules.d/61-net_config.rules

Remove the entire line for both eth0, and eth1.

On your next boot, what was eth1 will become eth0, assuming you've
disabled to the onboard nic, in your bios setup program.

On reboot, udev will create a new line, for the new version of eth0.

You may need to delete the network connections in mcc, and recreate
the one for eth0.

I am sorry, but this is a sledghammer for mosquito solution.

/etc/modprobe.conf
may well contain a reference to eth0.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
may exist, or an ifcfg-* file may contain eth0

I hear what you are saying, but, the OP winds up with copy of network
configuration files which might be used for debugging the network in
the future. Also, gives OP a copy to compare with if his changes do
not work.

PS: Feel free to trim your replies, please.

559 line reply for about 5 lines is pretty poor netiquette

Thanks.
I made sure that the on-board ethernet was disabled in BIOS.
I also tried Dave Hodgins's suggestion.

My main problem is that I'm still pretty ignorant when it comes to the guts of Linux.

Here is the output from your script:

No problem. I gave the script to show files used in networking.
I have no idea what is going to happen on next boot,
You have disabled the On Board nic in bios.
But you have left eth0 in some config files.

When you reboot, and Internet does not work, get into MCC network and
delete all connections, and configure them again. Then do the
firewall.

I recommend stopping and disabling that daemon/service, click up a terminal
su - root
service avahi-daemon stop
chkconfig --del avahi-daemon

To speed up dns lookups I modify the line to look like
hosts: files dns

You can do a
gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
to make the change, do click Save, Quit when done.

Hmmm, some daemons/services like to have a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
You have set hostname on boot but dhcp client wiped it out.

We can fix that here in a little bit.

Sometimes you can get away with adding comments, sometimes you cannot
I would delete the eth0 line if me. Your call.

Here is where we make a FQDN gedit /etc/hosts
to make /etc/hosts look like

127.0.0.1 wb.home.invalid wb localhost

gedit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and change ONBOOT=yes
to ONBOOT=no

Save, Quit

General clean up, delete that file,

rm /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases

Hmmm, look at that, NEEDHOSTNAME=no, guessing eth0 was wiping out hostname.

After you change the config files, you need to get into Mandriva
Control Center--> Security-->
Advanced setup for network interfaces and firewall

and configure JUST eth1.

I followed your instructions, rebooted, and no more
messages about eth0. Everything works.

Thank you so much.

Was beginning to think you were dead in the water.

Does hostname return wb.home.invalid ?

No, I was away from the computer.

Yes, it does.
