Network broken after kernel update

tardis_junkie · #1 3rd May 2006, 10:07 AM

Hi, I have just yum updated to kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 and my network has stopped working.

I can not browse the web, connect to my nfs shares.

My network card is an on-board nvidia that uses the forcedeth kernel module.

By dropping back to the previous kernel all is working fine.

Any help appreciated - more information provided on request.

As root, type :

lsmod

in each configuration. Post the results.

I have the same problem.
The network won't start with DHCP.
Without DHCP the system start,but very slow(20 minutes).
And than i have no internet, no printer.

Same problem here with a forcedeth driven nic. Looks like a problem in teh new kernel as the old one still works fine.

Just revert to the old kernel until they release a fix. This kernel is buggy and as well as the boot problem there are network problems with nforce boards.

I have an Intel Pro/1000 network card, and I had the same network problem with this new kernel. Pings worked, and I could initiate test TCP sessions (for example, SMTP using telenet to port 25 to my server), but no further network communication occurred on the connection - weird!
