whophil Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I am trying to replace the motherboard and CPU in my Unraid 6.0 beta 5 machine. Old Machine: Intel i5-4670, Asrock H67m-itx New Machine: AMD A5-5500, Asrock FM2A87-itx I replaced the hardware, connected the drives, and plugged in my old USB key. However, I am having problems connecting to the network. I can't pull down an IP via DHCP or set a static IP. Here's a few relevant lines from my syslog: Oct 18 01:55:38 Box logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: List of interfaces: 'eth0' Oct 18 01:55:38 Box logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 Oct 18 01:55:38 Box logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo Oct 18 01:55:38 Box logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: eth0 interface does not exist (yet) Here's my /boot/config/network.cfg in DHCP mode: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY= And here's my /boot/config/network.cfg set for static IP: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 I read a few threads about problems with the Qualcomm Atheros AR8171 NIC, which is the NIC in the new board. At least one user (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34516.0) seems to report his problem was fixed by moving up to Unraid v6.0, which I am already using. I looked for a change log between Unraid 6.0 beta 5 and Unraid 6.0 beta 10 (the current version) and couldn't find anything. I don't have a free PCI slot to use another NIC, so ny help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment
whophil Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 I upgraded to Unraid 6.0 beta 10 (by simply copying bzimage and bzroot) and was able to get an IP immediately. It appears drivers for the Qualcomm Atheros AR8171 NIC were added sometime between v6.0 beta 5 and beta 10. Hope this information helps somebody. Quote Link to comment
craemer Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I bought a FM2A88X-ITX+ at the start of the year for my unraid build, only afterwards did I find out the NIC wasn't supported so I bought a PCI-E one. I might try running from the integrated NIC now just so I can free up that PCI slot. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment
