Help with new build ifconfig eht0 device not found

Featured Replies

So I am very new to unraid still trying to learn stuff and I am in the middle of a new build. I have installed unraid 5.0.1 on a USb drive and have gotten it to boot fine. However when trying to run ifconfig eth0 I get an error fetching device device not found. I am assuming that I am missing a network driver or something like that but I dont really know what is going on.

 

I am running on an ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ with an AMD a4 5300 processor.

 

I cannot get a syslog yet to my knowledge so I am relying on a little guidance from the forums. Anyone know what my next step should be?

eth0 is correct.

 

Sorry yes eth0 is what I am trying and getting the device not found error

Attach a new syslog. Let the system run for at least 20 minutes.

OK i let it run for about an hour and then got the syslog which I attached

Nov 20 01:52:18 Tower kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

Nov 20 01:52:18 Tower logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1:  eth0 interface does not exist (yet)

 

There is no interface detected. It could be due to corruption of the flash drive filesystem. Run check disk on the flash in a mac or PC.

More likely your ethernet chipset is not one currently supported by unRAID (assuming you have a very new motherboard, this is the most likely)  You can install a supported network interface card, or send an e-mail to lime-tech with the chipset used and hpe he'll add the driver in a subsequent release of unRAID, or compile a custom kernel on your own with the required driver. 

 

Highly unlikely to be a corrupted flash drive.  That would prevent you from booting at all.

Well I will say that windows actually did show errors on the drive when I plugged it back into windows. I am thinking that Joe L is correct and that my ethernet chipset is not yet supported. Anyway I was able to fix the errors on the drive with windows then I reformatted it and recopied the unRaid files back onto the usb drive. Here is the newest syslog attached below.

After doing some more research I found that my ethernet chipset is Qualcomm Atheros AR8171 which doesn't seem to be supported by unraid at this time. However I was able to find a post where someone got it to work by manually installing the driver I think here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29571.0. I am brand new to unRaid and pretty novice when it comes to linux but I am going to try to see if I can follow this post and get it to work.

I was able to get a cheap card at a local computer shop and I have that one up and running good. Hopefully I can get the people of unraid to add support for my onboard NIC but what I have will work for now it seems

  • 1 month later...

I have the same ASRock motherboard, and I'm using the Linksys LNE100TX NIC that LIME says is compatible.  However, I still get no devices when I search ifconfig eth*.

 

Did you have to do anything special with this mobo, or did it auto detect the pci card you installed?
