I'm running the x86_64 version of F8 on a dual AMD Opteron box. I
regularly run yum update to keep everything up to date. On March 9 I
ran the update to get the most recent kernel
(kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8.x86_64), but I didn't reboot to actually start
using the latest kernel.
I ran yum update again on March 13. After this update, I rebooted and
tried to use the new kernel. I lost my network connections. I have two
network connections. One is a built-in Broadcom BCM5703C Gb Ethernet
adapter on a Tyan K8W-S2885 MB and the other is a Gb PCI card.
lspci output...
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
If I boot the prior kernel (2.6.23.15-137.fc8.x86_64) the PCI Realtex
adapter came back, but not the on board Broadcom adapter. I noticed the
ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 files in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default were modified on the reboot
date (March 13). I found ifcfg-eth*.bak files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. I backed up the files in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default and copied the *.bak files,
but this didn't work.
Can someone suggest what to do next?
Did the kernel update change these files?
TIA,
Pete
