No suitable device found for this connection after Kernel 3.10.0-1062 upgrade

Post by Concord_nz » 2019/10/01 00:51:10

I just performed a yum update, which included Kernel 3.10.0-1062.
Now my wired (on motherboard) network will not work.

journalctl

Code: Select all

Luckily if I drop back to 3.10.0-957 during boot everything is fine.

What brand of ethernet controller do you have? A Realtek RTL8168 perhaps? Check with:

Code: Select all

$ lspci -nn | grep -i net

Try modprobe realtek
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips.

I read some other topics while I was waiting and came across the "power off & unplug for 20 seconds fix".

Despite having unplugged this box and shifting it to a different cable and switch when this first occurred, I tried it again: powered off, unplugged for 60 seconds and booted back up into the latest kernel and it the network came back online. So odd.
