I have an odd situation I was hoping you all could help me with. I had posted this to the wrong forum, where I discovered a noob error.
I have a vmware setup on a server I'm building, and during a shutdown process the system hung and I was forced to power it off. Now neither guest OS (both Debian) has /dev/eth0 or eth1 (board has two NICs) but the driver is loaded in the kernel (pcnet32). The device shows up correctly in dmesg and lsmod, nothing but "lo" shows in ifconfig, and when I try to bring it up using "ifup eth0" I get:
Code:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth0.
This happens even if I used rmmod and then insmod to reload the driver. I have only had to worry about drivers once before and I'm afraid I don't know what to do at this point.
Please let me know what you need and I'll get you the information as soon as possible. I don't have access to the system all day.
Thanks!
