Hello,
I'm facing something quite strange... When booting one of these kernels (it's a new machine, I've not been running older kernels), the boot message says :
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 sky2 v1.10 addr 0xff8fc000 irq 19 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2 sky2 eth0: addr 00:18:f3:e0:5d:d4 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 sky2 v1.10 addr 0xff7fc000 irq 16 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2 sky2 eth1: addr 00:18:f3:e0:36:fd So, I'm expecting two interfaces : eth0 and eth1
Unfortunately, at the end of the boot process, I can find eth1 and eth2, something/somewhat/someone has renumbered them ;
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F3:E0:36:FD BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:16
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F3:E0:5D:D4 inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::218:f3ff:fee0:5dd4/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:42780 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25519 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:61859841 (58.9 MiB) TX bytes:2031644 (1.9 MiB) Interrupt:19
This does also occurs when I boot in single user mode, so I did a quick check at the processes running then, and found udevd, but there is no reference to ethX in the configuration files, only veth :
root@riri:/Kernels/External# cd /etc/udev/ root@riri:/etc/udev# grep -r eth * rules.d/90-modprobe.rules:ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="network", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba ibmveth" rules.d/90-modprobe.rules:ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="vlan", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba iseries_veth" Is it something expected ? Or is it because Sky2 is still EXPERIMENTAL ?
