Eth0 won't come up anymore - eth0: no link during initialization

Arch i686 has been running fine for months on my old Athlon nForce2 board.  Today, I booted and found that eth0 can't come up.  If I look at my router, there isn't a link light on for that box/same is true on the back of the box.  I know that the cable is good (tested it with my laptop). I also replaced the NIC in the box with one that I know works in another box and I get the same story.  Finally, I booted with a live Ubuntu CD and got the same problem where it couldn't use the network.
I have tried both dhcp and static modes with no change in the behavior.
When I restart the network (/etc/rc.d/network restart) I get the following two lines In /var/log/dmesg I get:
eth0: no link during initialization.
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
Link to full /var/log/dmesg is here

Can't explain it... the Mac laptop works just fine but the Arch box doesn't work at all.  The only way it works is to hit the uplink button on the back of the router.  Crazy.

  • Camera Roll won't come up anymore on VISTA...  Help please

    I use to just hook up my 3GS Iphone to my Dell XPS M1710 laptop and a window would ask the question "if I want to download pics from phone" Now it doesn't do it anymore and all the pics I have on phone won't download to laptop. Any help out there PLEASE??? Thank you!

    If you go to Computer, do you see the iPhone? You can make changes to the Auto Play in Windows to react a certain way when you connect a device. If your computer is not recognizing the iPhone, then something else is going on. There has been a little bug where people saving a photo from an MMS or an email has somehow corrupted the camera roll and affected the computer recognizing the iPhone.
    Check those couple of things.

  • I have a late 2008 iMac with dual intels and the fans won't come on anymore.  About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    I tried that with no improvement.  I think I might have to have the fans replaced.  do you know if this is a particularly difficult procedure?  Something wierd that I've noticed is that if I have a video on for more than several minutes, the fans comes on, and also when I am on a Skype video conference for awhile.  Otherwise, the fan jst doen't come on as the intels heaten up to the point the the auto shut down kicks in...any advise?  This definitely interupts my work!  Thanks for your help and input thus far!

  • Desktop won't come up after update

    Hello,
    After today's update, my desktop won't come up anymore. When I enter my password in the login box, the sad face comes up telling me: “Oh no. Something has gone wrong. Log out try again”
    The first time when rebooted after the update, my desktop came up, but very slowly. And I noticed right away that my gtk themes and icons were not rendered properly. Then, I rebooted again and now my desktop won't come up.
    I dont remember all my updates but for sure 'xorg-server' and 'xorg-server-common' were among them. I dont know this is any use.
    During update I didn't have any error message.
    My system:
    AMD dual core 2.6
    Memory: 6 gb
    Video: Radeon HD 3600 (using open source driver)
    Desktop: Gnome 3.2

    In your "/etc/inittab" file, you probably have a line that looks like "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon". Modify this line to be "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon 2>/home/some_file". Then errors encountered should be printed to /home/some_file.

    Then you need the package xorg-xinit.
    I istalled 'xorg-xinit' and now when I type startx I get:

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.

  • Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

    Try Single User mode (Command+S while starting up).
    Then, run fsck.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

  • My ipod nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop with a white screen. Now it won't turn on anymore. What to do?

    My new Ipod Nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop. Here is what happened: I added music to it using the latest version of iTunes, the colored bar at the bottom of the summary tab in iTunes showed my that I added it and I disconnected it to listen to the music. As I turned it on, it told me that there is neither music nor pictures on it. So I connected it again to my computer and iTunes told me that I had to restore. Which I did following all the steps but it keep telling me that I need to restore it. After three times of restore it, I disconnected it from my PC and turned it off. Now it won't turn on anymore - even though the battery is fully charged - and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes tell me "The iPod software updater could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes." Well, I just downloaded the newest version a couple of minutes ago from the apple website. My iPod stays black. What shall I do?

    Hi clarity,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

  • Can't forward emails; contacts are in icloud and won't come up when I push cc

    I can't forward email in Outlook. I used to just forward to myself then use cc to forward to other contacts that would come up when I pushed cc. Now everything has been moved to icloud and it won't come up to cc anyone. My iphone broke so they sent me a refurbished on and since I since I backed up my old phone and installed the sim card into the new one I have had nothing but issues...this being the worst. Another issue is that since then all the songs I had on my old phone are not there anymore. The nearest Apple store is 250 miles from me. Not sure Apple and icloud is the way to go. Does anyone know what is going on with this???

    Outlook 2013 isn't supported at this time.  Outlook 2007 and 2010 are.  Microsoft has not yet decided to make 2013 compatible.

  • My iPhone won't boot up anymore, help?

    Hi, I'm Lee! My iPhone will not boot up, and I don't know what did it. My friend said his iPod won't come on because he charged it on a friend's XBOX overnight, and so did I. I really don't know if the XBOX did it, but it's possible. The other day I turned it off to save power, and when I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't completely boot up. The Apple logo shows up for about a minute and then the loading symbol comes up and just keeps going and it won't ever get to the lock screen. I've tried to restore it. It won't show up in iTunes so I heard about putting the device in Recovery Mode to make it recognizable. It made it show up, but every time I tried to restore it gave me error codes like 21, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, and 1604. My iPhone was on 5.0.1 and at the Restore page in iTunes that only had options to Update and Restore. Update was grayed out, and there should be an update to 5.1. Then today when I tried restoring it the message at the top was stuck on "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple..." iTunes isn't frozen on "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple," it just won't say anything else. I've tried everything and nothing works. I've even tried holding the Power and Home buttons forever, and still, nothing works. Please help!!
    Message was edited by: ulyssesfromalabaster

    I've read all the error codes already. I've downloaded 5.1 again and tried to restore and it's stuck on "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple" again. After about 10 minutes, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore and the tab with my iPhone goes away but it still says "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple" at the top. I'm going to try reinstall iTunes. This should fix things.

  • Certain mail won't come in off the server to my Mac Mail

    Certain emails won't come in to my Mac Mail off the Time Warner Servers. (TW is intotally unhelpful and say it's my Mac Mail settings, even though some of the senders have come in before with no problem. Newer people have a hard time getting through, even though, I put them in the address book of both the TW server, and in Mac Mail.
    I also set a preference to "allow" them in both filters section  And I'll hear a "ding" when mail arrives from this person, but while I can go see it on the TW server, it doesn't come into the Mac Mail.
    It's like it's trying (the ding) but what happens to the message?
    thanks for any info you can give.
    mz

    thanks for your help... but I've deleted all my iPhone mail accounts and reentered them. The phone then proceeded to re-download all the messages from the server...except for the same ones it wouldn't before! I'm mystified. I called ATT and they didn't know what to do either. Time Warner doesn't know either.
    I've got them in my address books as well...
    Any more ideas?
    thanks
