Fedora Installation :: F11 - Netmask For Eth0 Wrong At Boot
Sep 27, 2009
I have been working on a network problem and have found what the actual problem is. For some reason on boot the netmask for my eth0 is set to be 255.255.255.255 In the network GUI application it is set correctly to 255.255.255.0
I looked in the following files and it is set there correctly too.
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profile/default/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
If I check the box to "controlled by network-manager" the eth0 interface is started at boot but with a netmask of 255.255.255.255. If I uncheck this box then the interface does not come up at boot and I have to go to the GIU application to start it. It still comes up with the netmask of 255.255.255.255
I have to use ifconfig to set it to the right netmask and then everything works until I reboot.
"ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.65 netmask 255.255.255.0"
How do I get this to work properly? I need it to come up with the correct netmask.

I've just installed Fedora (F13) for the first time, on a new HDD, to give myself a dual-boot system. So currently I have:
So, at the appropriate stage in the install menu, there is an option for where to install GRUB, and a drop-down to choose which drive is the primary BIOS boot drive.
However, in both cases, no other drive except my new sdc is visible. So, I can install GRUB to MBR of sdc, or to first sector of boot partition - but no option to put it to my primary boot drive MBR on sda.
Likewise, in the GRUB configuration page, if I go to Add another OS, the only option it gives me is my new Fedora install. It doesn't list the Vista OS on sda at all.
The result is that I can boot to either OS by changing the boot drive priority in BIOS.
I guess my question is this:
- is this expected behaviour from the installer, meaning that I'll need to configure GRUB manually somehow? (gulp ) or
- did I do something wrong in the install process? or
- is this some weird bug manifesting itself?

Sometimes (but not every time), when booting my Dell Inspiron 530, eth0 will not come up right away. I can boot and log in to Gnome, and the NetworkManager applet shows that the ethernet cable is unplugged. After sitting for 5-10 minutes, it will link up and everything works. If I unplug the network cable and plug it back in, it comes right up. But once it's linked, it works fine and never disconnects after that. I've tried switching to a different port on my switch and a new ethernet cable. So I suspect it's some sort of weird kernel problem. I checked /var/log/messages and the only thing that looks weird is:
Oct 17 07:51:49 obi-wan kernel: e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.3.3.3-k6

[Code].....
But I have a second Inspiron 530 that has the same entry and it works fine. Has anybody seen a problem like this? I've looked around and so far can't find out the exact issue. I've upgraded NetworkManager to the latest version for FC10

I'm using Fedora 12 on a box with 2 separate NICs in different subnets. The problem is that after a reboot, both NICs always show up as eth0 when you left click on the networking icon on the top right. I have to manually change one of them to eth1 & then things start working.
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=(mac address)
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

I just finished installing Fedora 12 on a rack mount server. I was modifying the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file to use a static IP address, but now nothing works. The device does not boot on start up or anything.Currently, ifcfg-eth0 looks like:
Quote:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none[code].....
The eth0 device does not start on boot; the server does not get the IP address, is not reachable over the network, and will not connect to the internet....

I am trying to sort out some issues following an upgrade from F12.
I have eth0 as the connection I want to use. Prior to the upgrade, this connection was enabled and active at boot.
Now, for some reason after the upgrade it has to be manually enabled at every boot - even though when I go the Network tool, Ethernet Device > General tab - "Activate device when computer starts" is checked.
At every boot time it is inactive.
In all the ifcft-eth0 files, the ONBOOT parameter is set to "yes".

My old server machine running Ubuntu 6 experienced hardware failure, so I built a new machine with spare parts and decided to install 10.10. I used the 2 HDDs from the old machine and decided to use existing partitions for the 10.10 installation. I specified the existing partitions on a 250 GB PATA drive for root, /boot, /home, and swap. For some reason when I booted up 10.10 for the first time, the other HDD (750 GB SATA) was mounted as /boot. I never specified the second drive to be used for anything during the installation, so I have no idea why this happened.and how can I change the mount point for /boot? I would like the highlighted partition in the attached screenshot to be /boot. I really hope nothing on the 750 GB drive was overwritten in this whole process, because it contains all of my photo and video backup.

I just updated my server from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and now it cannot go past grub, at boot time, it would "give up waiting for root device", asking me to check whether I gave the right "root=..." or if I should increase the "rootdelay=..." in the command line argument and end up with the initramfs.
The machine is a Dell Poweredge 2900 with a HW RAID controller (I hope that should not matter, but just in case...). I tried to follow the instructions there to make sure grub is setup correctly, but without any luck.
Below is the output from the bootinfoscript (while running on the LiveCD). Anybody has any idea what can be the problem or what I could do to debug this ? I am running out of ideas.

I'm running windows 7 and the F12 Beta (although the same issue existed in my f11 distro) on an asus g71 bb. When ever I boot into windows my time is correct. If I boot into to F12 my time is wrong. Usually by 4 hours. If I change it in Linux when I boot into windows I end up switching the time on my windows partition. I tried searching the forum (rather casual I'll admit) and couldn't find any solutions.

Used to run Gentoo, years ago, getting back on the linux train. Anyways, got a new media pc and am having some troubles getting it to function. I am using ImageWriter, an OCZ Rally 4gb flash drive and have tried both HTTP and BitTorrent downloaded copies of 11.3 with the same md5sum check wrong error. What am I doing wrong? Is it because it thinks it is a CD or am I getting bad copies of the ISO? I am so out of practice I can't remember anything about installation anymore and am at a loss.

I downloaded the minimal boot image and installation CDs for F12 i386. On booting either I get the following messages:
Code:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
cmov
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
Looks to me like the installation media for i386 doesn't have an i386 kernel! I'm trying to install to an i586 CPU.

The shortcomings of Macro Sh1te software forced me to rearrange my HDs. HD0 is the boot drive and contains MS stuff. HD1 is my Fedora drive. I ran an apparently good install onto HD1. Unfortunately, I can't get FireFox to connect to the WWW. I tried to use the admin. view to get eth0 working, without success. As I would for windoze, do I need to download and manually install a driver for the RealTek network adapter chips on my AUSA M4A785-M mobo?

I am setting up a fresh Fedora 10 install on an older computer for a roommate and have one odd little problem, everything else appears to be working just fine.
The network connection drops after about 2 minutes (somewhere between 90-120 seconds). This only happens in the installed Fedora 10; it does not happen at all when I boot a Kubuntu LiveCD.
Here's what I know:
The machine is a Dell Dimenision 4500, 2.0 GHz, 512Mb ram.
The ethernet card is 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet.
Unplugging the ethernet cord and plugging it back in allows the network interface to come back up, grabs the right IP, but only holds it for another two minutes.
ifconfig and route show all the right info while the connection is good, but inet disappears once it goes down.
'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup eth0' do not bring it back up.
Is this a driver issue perhaps?

I downloaded the disc1 iso from [url] and ran it through sha1sum and got 5063ec... (the exact digest is in the virtual console, so I can't copy and paste). But the sum shown in [url] is different, so I removed the iso from my file-system and re-downloaded it. I ran the second download through sha1sum and got the same (wrong) digest as before: 5063ec...
Now, I may not understand fully how sha1 works, but I'm pretty sure if the faulty digest was wrong because of a download error, it would be -very- unlikely that I would get the same wrong digest twice. What is going on here? Is the error server-side or something? Or do I just have terrible luck, or do I not fully understand sha1 sums? Or maybe sha1sum isn't the right command to run?

I have a kickstart script that attempts to create user "joeblow" with an encrypted password. The user is created okay, but the password does not seem to "take". After installation is complete, and the system is rebooted, this is the relevant portion of /etc/passwd:
Code:
This is the relevant portion of /etc/shadow:
Code:
Where there are two exclamation points, I would expect the encrypted password (as is the case for the root user, which is also created in the kickstart file).
The relevant line in my kickstart file looks like this:
Code:
That password string, which is 34 characters, is the word "password", encrypted with this command:
Code:
Also in my kickstart file is this line:
Code:
After the install is complete, I reboot and attempt to log in as "joeblow", but no dice. If I log in as root, and manually put the above encrypted password into /etc/shadow for jowblow, I can then log in as joeblow.

This on a Vostro 1220 Laptop w/ Intel 5300 wireless:
A.I have long boot up time.I think it's because of the eth0 network search which I don't use.I have an intel wireless 5300 card running.How can I speed up the boot time, i.e. disable or change the eth0 at boot, the searching?
B:When I restart or shutdown, the screen flashes repeatedly and gets some garbled colors along the top before finally rebooting looks like windows ME or something).This vostro has an intel x4500HD vid chipset in it.
C.How do I get into gnome configuration editor to turn on Metacity compositing? Alt-F2 and run gconf-editor doesn't do it. I don't do compiz, but need compositing.
D.I need to install Chromium Browser as it sync my bookmarks.I have RPMforge enabled btw also...how can I do that? I.e. rpm repo for chromium?
This will help me get off to a running start so I can get up to speed on CentOS..

I am in the process of settign up a home server under FC14. The installation recognized both NICs, one as Intel Gigabit and the other as a Realtek Semiconductor as it should be. But when trying to start eth0 (Realtek) I get the following error message:
[root@theraugafamily network-scripts]# ifup eth0
Active connection state: activating
Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1
** (process:2296): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
state: unknown Error: Connection activation failed. Some more ifo the this NIC as it is of special type.It is a Viking PCI ADSL2+ Modem Card. I am quoting form the description "Being a gully integrated card, no external plug packs are required and cabling is simplified to just an ADSL line connection. The need to purchase an extra ethernet card is also eliminated, as yjis features is build into the card. The onboard Ethernet controller (RTL8139) makes the modem appear to the OS as a standard network card. Thus the Viking can be used with almost any modern O/S without the need for special drivers. This includes Windows, Linux, Solaris, xBSD, etc.." setting ACPI=off in GRUB.conf does not fix the issue

5.10 Breezy configured as machine controller. Works great eth0 is a fixed IP to communicate with controller comms board. Not easy at all to alter - the comms board is hard coded to listen on eth0 for commands.
I can use eth1 as the default gateway and ping google.com, etc. But when I now attempt to communicate with the controller with netcat, e.g.
Code: echo !HH | nc 192.168.1.6 80
I obviously never get an answer since the request is passed via eth1. Using the -g option with netcat doesn't work either. I had a look at iptables but it doesn't seem to be able to do what I want. How I can still use eth0 as my communication port to the controller whilst eth1 is the default gateway?
