You're welcome.

Let's go step by step. The modprobe.conf seems Ok and e1000 is loaded as module

e1000                        135761            0

Will you please provide:

dmesg

and

lspci

outputs as  well ?

Cheers,
K.

Hi,

Though your driver was loaded on memory it seems that your OS does not seem to detect  the actual hardware. So your adapters are neither detected by the kernel nor displayed over detected devices attached to the bus.

o I'll suggest you to doownload the driver for your actual adapters from the Intel site and compile them. They will only be detected once the modules are built and loaded on the memory. Don't forget to install:
kernel-headers, kernel-devel and gcc if your system is missing them. I see that you also have a detected Realtek Adapter. You can use the adapter during the upddate and driver download.

cheers,
K.

Hi KeremE,
actually this server is not connected to internet,
what exact driver i need to download to this server properly.....
could you please explain me clearly......
thanks

It depends on what chipset do you have over your board. Then you need to go grab the dirver sources from here:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=17252

You see there are lots of different adapters available from Intel.

then you'll need kernel headers and kernel-devel and gcc. You can check them locally using a command like this:

rpm -qa | egrep -e "kernel|gcc"

and it should output something similar to this:
gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1
kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
gcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138
libgcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1
kernel-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
libgcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1

If some are missing you need to install them. Id suggest you to egt an internet access during the phase or you'd need to go to ftp site and get the necessary rpms over there and install.

Then you'll need to compile the drivers and install them using the instructions from the README file that will come with your driver.

Cheers,
K.

Hi keremE,
My server have this chip set "INTEL|C2Q Q6600 2.4G 775 65N %",

i think in the above result kernel-headers are  missing....

you have several kernels installed in. Will you please post the output of

uname -a

So that I'll figureout what version are you booting from.

> My server have this chip set "INTEL|C2Q Q6600 2.4G 775 65N %
Well this is your CPU. I need either your MOBO or Ethernet adapter spec.
 

C2Q stands for Core2Quad and Q6600 the Processor Model Number with 2.4G is the clock freq.

Hi keremE,
here is the result for uname -a
# uname -a
Linux cynosystems 2.6.9-67.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Nov 18 01:06:10 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU / Linux
MB GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L P35 RT is this my ethernet adapter specification.....?

> MB GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L P35 RT is this my ethernet adapter specification.....?

Nope it is your motherboard. But the thing is your MOBO does not have an INTEL Network adapter. It is equipped with a RTL-8111B Ethernet Adapter. So the problem is you've assigned the eth0 to an e1000 (which your system is missing)

Please edit your /etc/modprobe.conf and remove these lines:

options  e1000
alias  eth1  e1000
alias  eth0  e1000

and reboot.

Then add a new network adapter this time pick a RTL adapter and enable it.

Cheers,
K.

Hi KeremE,
as per your suggestions.. i removed those lines and rebooted... server...
then added RealTek RTL8129 FastEthernet .... But when i am trying to enable it ... it is showing below error message like this
 "cannot activate network device eth2 !
rtl8129 device eth2 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

i have not downloaded any drivers yet.....

ok receheck the config and make sure that it is aliased eth0 not eth2. You can also do it through the web interface.

I guess it would run smoothly if you did not decide you have the e1000 and modified al lthe config and aliases..  :) Anyway this is how one learns things.

i did recheck the /etc/modprobe.config .....it was "alias eth2 rtl8129"
now i changed to "alias eth0 rtl8129" and saved the file...
do u want me reboot server again....?

yup reboot and then delete the interface from network settings and read as eth0.

i rebooted the server... then deleted the interface from network settings .....and
now configured a new ethernet adaptor  "RealTek RTL8129 FastEthernet .... But when i am trying to enable it ... it is showing below error message like this
 "cannot activate network device eth0 !
rtl8129 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

enable means i tried to activate that ethernet  card...

i searched in google... i found this soluiton....
is this works.....
1.
exec lspci

,there should be no ethernet device list in screen out.

So please check your ethernet card is installed properly.may be changed to another pci will be ok.

2.shutdown your server first,then move your ethernet card to another pci.power on.

login to server

3.exec lsmod

check whether 8139too have been loaded.if not

exec modprobe 8139too(or insmod 8139too)

reexec lsmod

again to check 8139too have been loaded or not.Should be successful.

then

exec service network restart(or ifup ethx)

but i did not under some terms like "so please check your ethernet card is installer properly.may be changed to another pci will be ok "...means...?

Hi KeremE,
i editied /etc/modprobe.conf to alias eth0 r8169,
then i gave
# service network restart

then after that i rebooted the server.... then i gave once again

it is showing same message...dude

Ok then you need to download the Driver and compile it.

yah .... sure... but i have one small doubt .... the link which u gave have 2 related drivers for my problem..
1.  LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
2.  Linux driver for kernel 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
which one u want me down load.......from above these 2 options...

thanks

i have down loaded above both drivers on my laptop.. since my server dont have internet connection....
so now i will copy thee file to sever with the help of USB drive....
could you please help me ... could you please tell which one of above drivers do u want me to install....please help me with the steps to install these drivers....
as of now i never install these kind of drivers.....and very new this RHEL OS server....
please give me reply....
thanks for ur help,

i downloaded LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64) on my server,
this gave this command as root user .......

#bunzip2 r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2

then was converted into r8168-8.014.00.tar
then i gave

# tar xf r8168-8.014.00.tar
then i was converted as directory.... when i opened this directory r8168-8.014.00..........

Makefile   readme   src(directory) are available.........

how to compile this drvier files then.....?
could you please help me... here

Hi keremE,
could you please help me ... with in compliling these driver files.....
so that i will go farward...to fix this error....please help me in this troubleshooting

> yah .... sure... but i have one small doubt .... the link which u gave have 2 related drivers for my problem..
> 1.  LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
> 2.  Linux driver for kernel 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)
> which one u want me down load.......from above these 2 options...

As you would easily notice the second driver is for the 2.4.x kernel which is obsolete. In fact you are using 2.6.x kernel so you only one will compile on your system.

Hi KeremE,
thank for you relply,
i downloaded LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64) on my server,
and i gave below command as root user .......

#bunzip2 r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2

then driver file converted into r8168-8.014.00.tar
then i gave

# tar xf r8168-8.014.00.tar
then driver file converted as directory.... when i opened this directory r8168-8.014.00

Makefile   readme   src(directory) are available.........

how to compile this drvier files then.....?
could you please help me... here....to complile this driver file.... please

As the readme file you mention specifies :

make modules

If you get an error here it means that you're missing something to build the module. Below is the output from my system.

make install

You might as well use this command:

tar tvjf r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2

or

bunzip2 r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2 | tar tvf -

for unzip and untar.

hi KeremE,
thanks for ur reply, i gave this command...

#  bunzip2 r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2 | tar tvf -

then i got  r8168-8.014.00.tar now

could u pls suggest me .... what to do next steps.....please

thanks..

before i what i got by doing unzip and untar file....
as a root user when i gave ....make modules my system is showing below ouput.. which is not same like ur system.....

#[root@cynosystems r8168-8.014.00]# make modules
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/r8168-8.014.00/src'

so thats why i deleted entire directory of r8168-8.014.00 .... then so thats why i did copied that driver file once again and start over point from unzip and untar point.... i will follow ur instructions from here carefully.....

hi KeremE,
thanks for ur reply, i gave this command...

#  bunzip2 r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2 | tar tvf -

then i got  r8168-8.014.00.tar now

could u pls suggest me .... what to do next steps.....please

thanks..

right now i am here......i am waiting  for your instructions to go foward from here....

Hi KeremE,
Could you please help me here...in compiling these drivers files......
thanks...

Here's the command:

tar xvf r8168-8.014.00.tar

and then issue:

cd r8168-8.014.00
make modules
make install

Then you need to issue:
# depmod -a
# modprobe r8168

Then you just edit your /etc/modprobe.conf and add
alias eth0 r8168

Now ou need to reboot the sytem and observe your dmesg output (located in /var/log/dmesg) to see if eth0 was initialised by the kernel.

Hi KeremE,
thanks for your reply,
i followed above steps carefully....
rebooted system... then i look at     /var/log/dmesg  it looks like this....

r8168: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones
r8168 Gigabit Ethernet driver 8.014.00-NAPI loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169

eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8168B/8111B'.

i could see in system network settings eth0-r8168  active....
i hope now i am good start over to ORACLE 10GR2 DATABASE installation....now

thanks...

Oh yeah it seems that your conection is OK now. It is very good to see that I could be of help :) Good luck with the Oracle installation..

Cheers,
K.

Please make sure that you've entered IP Address / Network MAsk / Default Gateway and DNS settings corret_y so that yu won't have any communication problem.

One mor thing. Do not forget to edit your /etc/hosts and make suere that your hostname is not aliased to 127.0.0.1. IT will cause problems later. thecorrect format shoud be:

127.0.0.1                   localhost.localdomain  localhost
x.x.x.x                       your_hostname.example.com   your_hostname

In fact this is written somewhere in Oracle Installation notes. But anyway easy to ignore :)

Hi KeremE,
thanks for ur reply,
yah i edited /etc/hosts file as per your suggestions...

but  when i look at system settings--> Network----> i could see every thing is perfect... but at hosts.. it looks
 
192.168.10.11       cynosystems.com      cynosystems

i am not able to see the 127.0.0.1....here...
even i tried to add/edit button to 127.0.0.1..... but i not updating....

could you please clarify this dount.. please....

Ok

Just go to the terminal and edit /etc/hosts using vi or something to reflect your own settings.

Cheers,
K.

yah as a root user i edited /etc/hosts with vi Editor command...
now it looks like this....

127.0.0.1                localhost.localdomain            locaalhost
192.168.10.11        cynosystems.com                cynosystems

and saved the file also... but even then it does not show when i look at system settings--> Network----> i could able to  see every thing is perfect... but at hosts.. it looks like this...
 
192.168.10.11       cynosystems.com      cynosystems

i am not able to see the 127.0.0.1....here...
even i tried to add/edit button to 127.0.0.1..... but its not updating....

could you please clarify this dount.. please....

BTW System -> Administration -> Network

Does not show you the 127.0.0.1 Localhost. It only shows actual hosts. but if you go to terminal and type the hosts file such as :

cat /etc/hosts

You must see something like this:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost
192.168.10.11           hostname.cynosystems.com   cynosystems

What is your hostname ??

you should see your hostname here:

/etc/sysconfig/network  such as:

.
.
HOSTNAME=hostname.cynosystems.com

127.0.0.1                localhost.localdomain            locaalhost

BTW I hope the locaalhost in alias column is a typo :)

Thanks for your prompt reply...
BTW system means...?

as  a root user i gave this command

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1                localhost.localdomain            locaalhost
192.168.10.11        cynosystems.com                cynosystems

its does not look like ....as you suggested in the above window

my host name is cynosystems.com

as per your suggestion i  gave this command as root user

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=YES
HOSTNAME=cynosystems

thanks....

Thanks for ur reply,
actuallly i typed wrongly....

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1                localhost.localdomain            localhost
192.168.10.11        cynosystems.com                cynosystems          

System is the Root menu Item over Gnome. Probably your menu is different. so you can safely ignore it.
locaalhost is a typo please correct it to read localhost

it is not a conventional domain-name  hostname.com but it is ok anyway. It seems that you're ready to go :)
This is the end of the question I guess :)

You're welcome.

Cheers,
K.

do u want me change ....to

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=YES
HOSTNAME=cynosystems.com

Hi KeremE,
finally all i am worrying about this ...last minor issue... now
When i open vi /etc/hosts... i could able to see

127.0.0.1                localhost.localdomain            localhost
192.168.10.11        cynosystems.com                cynosystems

at the same time when i look at  at system settings--> Network----> hosts.. I could able to see only like this...
 
192.168.10.11       cynosystems.com      cynosystems

i am not able to see the 127.0.0.1....here...
is that going to affect in future ORACLE 10GR2 database instatllations...?

i should be very thankful to you.. u made me walk through this typical issue to solve it...

As I told you on my previous note the System -> Network -> hosts will display only the "actual" hostnames. Not the localhost. It filters out any loopback interface completely (meaning localhost for both ip4 and ip6 if present). So this is pretty normal.

Cheers,
K.

Mr.KeremE,
thanks for your support and guidence......
i am going to give you max points...
thanks,
bye

Mr.KeremE have excceptional DHCP Knowledge....
i appreciate his help... in fixing at this perticular issue...
