No interfaces after migrate machine

Post by francisco. » 2014/11/12 22:20:20

I migrate virtual machine to physical machine and scsi to sata. I solved migration with mkinitrd command but now I got a new problem...

I do not see any interface only loopback. Seem result when I lauch:

ifconfig -a / ip link

I supposed a module was missing and I forced to load "tg3" module.

lspci |grep net

1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 G. PCIe
2 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 G. PCIe

Any reply is welcome.

Run lspci -nn | grep -i net (the same thing you ran already but includes the pci vendor and device id pair). Take that PCI vendor id/device id to ELrepo and look it up in their list and see if their kmod-tg3 has support for your card. If it does, download it, put it on a USB stick and transfer it to the machine and use yum localinstall to install it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you very very much TrevorH!

Package got dependency with a kernel more recent, kernel-2.6.18-398.el5.x86_64.Later I installed kmod-tg3...reboot and now everything works fine!

Regards ;)
