No network after making savefile

#1 Post by bruno »

I'm using a Core 2duo E6750 with no harddrive, and a Realtek R8169 Gigabit ethernet controller.
Wen I start Puppy from the CD the first time, all is fine, but after I make a savefile on USB stick with heavy encryption, and reboot from the CD plus the savefile, there is no internet connection any more.
SNS shows the previous connection created, but when I click "connect now", it sais "no interfaces are active".
When I try Network Wizzard, it sais there is no driver loaded. When I try to do it manually, no driver can be loaded, even with auto-probe.
I have exactly the same problem all puppies I tried: Tahrpup 6.0.5, Tahrpup64 6.0.5, and Slacko 6.3 32b
In Hardware Information, the Realtek shows on the list

Which one are you tring to load? Open PupScan and give us what it says about your controller..

There's a driver loaded during a live boot that isn't under your save file.

Clk the PCI tab, then copy'n paste the info like this:

Code: Select all

Manufacturer=Broadcom Corp
Product=BCM20702A0
SerialNumber=5CF3706DEE17
VendorID=0a5c  ProductID=21e8  KERNEL-DRIVER(builtin)=(none)

I cannot copy-paste, because that pc doesn't have internet, but I'll type it here:
Description: Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co, ltd, RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller Vendor: 10ec Device: 8168

When I try to load that driver from the list, it sais: Loading r8169 failed with following message:
modprobe: error: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:507
kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin°file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.14.54/modules.builtin.bin'
modprobe: fatal: module r8169 not found

Like I said, the correct driver's loaded during a live boot.

Look, boot live again, then run: lsmod > ~/lsmod.txt and copy'n paste from this file in /root..

Let's see who's loaded..

==

Update: THAT driver may have to be blacklisted.

Follow with the live boot..

Run PupScan while under that live boot and take note of the driver being used..

Blacklisting the driver that is loaded in the live boot (without savefile) and that is actually working? does that make sense?

Know how to type into a terminal?

Go back a few posts and give me the "lsmod" output from /root/lsmod.txt.

Sounds like the save file is unable to access a gzipped driver pkg,. Not sure.

==

OK now, save my script somewhere you can grab it from your save file boot.

Save the output, again from somewhere you can access it.

With two instances of Geany open, compare the two.

The save file boot is missing a driver that can be loaded with:
modprobe <module>
You may need more than one loaded. Just compare..

Or eventually post the output here from the results generated by your save file.

==

On a hunch, it look as though "mii" is using your driver.

Make sure lsmod shows it as loaded when running my script.

If not, you: modprobe mii

Then reload the connection wizard.

It looks like this >> "rfkill 6818 1 cfg80211" should be among the results as well.
