Registered: May 2008 Posts: 9 *eth0 :error fetching interface information* ------------------------------
I was unable install redhat linux 9.x on my machine and the installation was hanging at "probing pci hardware(bus00)" message So After googling i found an answer and i was suggested to use* "linux all-generic-ide irqpoll pci=nommconf" *. with ABOVE suggesstion ,i could install linux on my machine. but i ve to edit my grub.conf kernel paramter. i.e i had to append "linux all-generic-ide irqpoll pci=nommconf" flag to kerenel parameter as i ve installed the OS using same flag else OS is nt getting loaded.
But due to the above way of installation,my NIC is not detected.
ive entere below command #ifconfig eth0 101.33.122.33
and the error is "eth0:error fetching interface informaiton"
my ethernet card is workng properly and the drivers are also available, as i can see my driver name(e1000) through lsmod and also my device through lspci. But why has this error occured and how to recover.
Please suggest me a solution.
Thank you
