Hi, I have PC with centos 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL. till yesterday it was working fine. yesterday I had to load Nistnet and it requires a RTC module. So I had to load this REal time Clock module from make menuconfig under device drivers, character devices, RTC. After this I did make modules_install and rebooted the PC . Now, when I start the PC, it shows Applying Intel Microcode update: FATAL: Module microcode not found Error: module microcode does not exist in /proc/modules the other error is dev eth0 has different MAC address than expected, so ignoring. At times it shows : device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. i did /sbin/ifconfig and saw that there is no eth0 related info. only loop back interface is present. I also tried to do /sbin/ifup eth0 but it is not found. in the lspci, the driver for ethernet is REaltek 8139 and these modules are present in /lib/modules. however, if i try to do depmod and then modprobe 8139too.ko, the message is FATAL: Module 8139too not found. if i do lsmod or /proc/modules.conf, i dont see the eth0 related modules there. Please tell me what I should do? There is some sunrpc for which also the module is missing. At present I am unable to connect this pc to the rest of the network. The dmesg command gives a lot of output but there is no way I can send that to u as it is out of network now. Waiting for your reply Thanks in advance, Padmaja
1. You can always reboot to the previous kernel (until you replaced or removed it). Keep in mind for future, that keeping previous stable kernel is always a good idea. 2. I guess you probably: a) have incorrect .config file. b) or you somehow incorrectly compiled/installed the kernel. How did you build the kernel? Provide all the details about every step please.
