yast configures eth1 instead of eth0
Last modified: 2008-07-16 15:39:51 UTC
11.0 beta2 on a g5 with two onboard network interfaces During setup in second stage, yast configures eth1 instead of eth0. It was not clear that eth1 was meant, because the _first_ entry in the network card list in the main window was (automatically) configured for dhcp.
Created attachment 213799 [details] bug388587.tar.bz2
Summary is invalid, because yast configures eth1 when you select eth1. The order of devices is same like output from "hwinfo --netcard" (eth1, eth0)
I did not configure eth1, I just left the defaults. Better set all interfaces into UP state, use ethtool to check for link up, and use only the one that has a cable connected.
> Better set all interfaces into UP state What is UP state? > use ethtool to check for link up Why? YaST uses "link" from hwinfo and from your log both devices has link:true In your initial description there's nothing about link status. So where's the problem?
ip link set up dev ethN I'm sure that only one cable is connected at home, but I have to double check this weekend. The link status was just a suggestion to not configure interfaces per default that can not work due to lack of cable.
>> ip link set up dev ethN No, this is work for sysconfig. YaST just writes configurations >> I'm sure that only one cable is connected at home Check it and try "hwinfo --netcard" ("Link detected" option). Also check "/sys/class/net/*/carrier" values
hwinfo --netcard is in the attachments. And eth1 has no link.
Hm, but from YaST log I can see link true: "hwinfo":$[ "active":true, "bus":"pci", "busid":"0001:05:04.1", "dev_name":"eth1", "drivers":[ $[ "active":true, "modprobe":true, "modules":[ [ "tg3", "" ] ] ] ], "link":true, "mac":"00:14:51:68:b7:01", "modalias":"pci:v000014E4d0000166Asv0000106Bsd00000085bc02sc00i00", "module":"tg3", "name":"NetXtreme BCM5780 Gigabit Ethernet", "num":0, "options":"", "requires":[ ], "sysfs_id":"/devices/pci0001:00/0001:00:02.0/0001:05:04.1", "type":"eth", "udi":"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_166a_0", "wl_auth_modes":nil, "wl_bitrates":nil, "wl_channels":nil, "wl_enc_modes":nil ],
Can you compare "hwinfo --netcard" and : echo '`Read(.probe.netcard)'|/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base stdio scr on running system and during installation (to be sure)
Marked as duplicate (YaST really didn't check "link" status), but according comment #8 and comment #9 test your system and create new bugreport if needed *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 389131 ***
