Re: [Vserver] Problems with Ethernet
I was trying the easy way out and used the 'emerge' command to pull the vserver sources. This had the unfortunate effect of also pulling an older kernel than the one I had just got working. It was easier, but in this case, inadequate. I downloaded the 2.02 patches and applied them to my 2.6.17 kernel and all is good. Well, almost. I then used emerge to download the vserver utils. This gives me compile errors, so I guess I will have to do it by hand. Gentoo with its portage tree and emerge ability does make life easier for most things. But when you start using odd or new hardware, you can start running into problems.

Why did you get such an old kernel when you know you need at least 2.6.17? I'd suggest you try at least 2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1, or whatever is the latest in the Gentoo overlay. -- Daniel Hokka Zakrisson GPG id: 06723412 GPG fingerprint: A455 4DF3 990A 431F FECA 7947 6136 DDA2 0672 3412 ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Any suggestions? sounds like version differences in the ethernet drivers. i had a similar problem where i selected the proper driver for the card, but it did not initialize it properly so i installed the latest version of the driver and it began working. later, a kernel upgrade included the new driver and it worked fine after that. > > Bill Berks > ___ > Vserver mailing list > Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver > -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
