Could be several things.
1) Is the driver for eth0 nic loaded?
2) Faulty nic
3) That bridge "virbr0" - what nic's are assigned to it?

You could try removing/renaming /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. A new file will be created, sometimes that fixes this kind of problems.

You could also add a file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1", can you bring up eth1 then?

Dear Pingu and experts,

Eth0 should have "00:21:70:99:4d:74" as macaddres. I can see eth0 when I installed RHEL 5.4, but I can't find eth0 when I install RHEL 6.4.
I tried to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot, but doesnt work.
Where can I find driver for Nvidia Quadro FX3600 for RHEL 6.4? And how to install it?

Thanks..
Eribudi

eribudi · 07-07-2014, 01:15 AM

I check my driver

# lspci | grep Ether
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5756 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express

Then

# lspci -vm -s 09:00.0
Device: 09:00.0
Class: Ethernet controller
Vendor: Broadcom Corporation
Device: NetXtreme BCM5756ME Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
SVendor: Dell
SDevice: Device 01f8

Does it show thatbmy driver run properly?

Thanks and Regards,
Eribudi

pingu · 07-07-2014, 01:32 AM

That is a Broadcom, I doubt Nvidia uses that.
Get the driver from Nvidia: http://driverscollection.com/?H=Quad...Linux%20x86_64

eribudi · 07-07-2014, 03:28 AM

I used RHEL 6.4 and driver 331 nvidia quadro. Can we use this driver version? I will update my driver as your suggestion and update soon.

Thank you very much Pingu..

eribudi · 07-07-2014, 03:31 AM

One again.. my laptop is Dell M6300, can I use RHEL 6.4 for my laptop?

Thanks and Regards,
Eribudi

eribudi · 07-07-2014, 05:41 AM

I installed 260.19.12 but I get stuck on starting certmonger. Could you please give me an advice?

Thanks and Regards,
Eribudi

seeing as this IS RHEL
you did buy the required license
you have access to the redhat knowledgebase
https://access.redhat.com/search/bro...#?&language=en

the FULL install instructions ARE in it for installing the nvidia.run driver on RHEL 6.5
first install the development tools and kernel source
then you need to blacklist the "Nouveau" driver and rebuild the boot image
only then can you install the .run driver

using the nvidia repo and installing the "kmod-nvidia.rpm" is MUCH EASIER

Code:

su -
yum install kmod-nvidia
