NO Network Device found for Desktop Kernel after update.

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello All,

I just now updated my kernels:

kernel-default-2.6.37.6-0.11.1.i586 **—TO----> **kernel-default-2.6.37.6-0.20.1.i586
kernel-desktop-2.6.37.6-0.11.1.i586 **—TO----> **kernel-desktop-2.6.37.6-0.20.1.i586

The “Default” Kernel works just fine so far as I can tell. But when I booted to my “Desktop” kernel the Network Manager shows that there
are no network devices found. Does each Kernel need it’s own special drivers for this?

Right now I’m logged into the Default Kernel, which is how I’m able to Post this question. So I know that the Default one is working without any issues so far.

Any Ideas…?

Here’s the Output of “lspci”:

Both wired and wireless seem to have the drivers loaded

Is it one or both you have issue with?

You know it’s possible to roll back to the previous kernel to test if it’s upgrade that’s the issue…

Hey caf, sorry at the moment, when I ran those commands, I was in the “Default” kernel and not the “Desktop” Kernel.

Should I boot to that and post those results… Sorry I wasn’t even thinking…

Thanks Again,
Matt

Only if you want to get Desktop working. :slight_smile:

In /boot, you should find config files with names like config-xxxxx-default and
config-xxxxx-desktop, where the values of xxxxx are the same for the two files,
and match your currently installed kernel. Please run the following commands:


sudo zypper in diffutils
diff -u config-xxxxx-default config-xxxxx-desktop > config_diff

That will show the differences between the two configurations. The contents of
the new file config_diff should be small enough to post directly. If not, post
on some pastebin site, and give the link here.

I guess you have both for a reason, or maybe you don’t know.?

Try boot both, see if either work.

Hey all thanks for your replies…!
Sorry I was away for the weekend and didn’t have my laptop with me…

Ok so I booted to my “Desktop” Kernel and the same thing happened. When I Left-Click on the “Network Manager” icon it
says, “no network devices found”. When I’m at work I always use a wired connection (eth0) but the wireless isn’t working
either…

But anyway I had booted to my Desktop Kernel and re-ran the lspci command and here’s what I got:

Hey lwfinger, thanks for the reply.

I tried running your command while logged into the Desktop Kernel not thinking that I didn’t have internet access lol… Duhh!
I’ll try and Download that now while I’m in the “Default” Kernel and actually have internet access.
I’ll post back with my results as soon as I download that.

Caf,

Yea, I’m not exactly sure why I have more then one… I’m still a bit of a Noob when it comes to this and just had them because
that’s what I had when I started working with Linux a little over a year and a half ago. When they gave me my laptop it had
the Desktop, Default and PAE Kernels already installed. Then the other day before I posted here there was a Kernel update
which I ran, but not before my /boot partition had been all filled up so I decieded to completely remove the PAE kernel and just update
the Default and Desktop ones… After that when I tried booting to my Desktop Kernel (which I wanted to change to the Default boot
Kernel on Power-Up), there was no network devices found apparently… But the “Default” Kernel still works without issue.

Anyway, I’ll post back with my results from the “diffutils” command as soon as I can.

Thanks Again,
Matt

Thanks

One other thing… I noticed when I was booting up the “Desktop” kernel earlier, that the “Boot Messages” that scroll past the screen during
the boot cycle very quickly, I could see a few more “failed” messages then would normally show…

Is there anyway to view those boot logs while already logged into a different Kernel…?

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

12

Once you boot the Desktop kernel
You can view the boot messages in /var/log/messages

13

Hey lwfinger, here’s the link to my output for the diff command:
Diff Desktop_Kernel_Config -AND- Default_Kernel_Config - Pastebin.com

Let me know if that isn’t correct and I’ll re-run it…

Thanks in Advance,
Matt
