Problem with lan0 after installation of 11i

[Terry Washington_1]

I just installed 11i on a C160 using a guided installation and accepted all of the defaults. During the initial reboot the "configure LAN interfaces" startup script failed. This led to the failure of other network-related startup scripts. I skipped all of the other failes scripts with ctrl+break. During the installation I recall briefly seeing a message regarding a loopback failure of some sort. I know that lan0 works on this box as it dual-boots into HP-UX11 and I am able to get on the network without a problem. I booted in single-user mode and verified that /dev/lan0 exists. Does anyone have any ideas?

- Check /etc/rc.log for errors.
- Is lan0 CLAIMED in ioscan?
- What's in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf?

lsdev -C lan
will tell you if the lan driver is loaded into the kernel.

Next, lanscan -v will tell you if the card is responding to queries from the O/S. Then do an ioscan -fnc LAN and see if its claimed. You might need to re-install the O/S.
