Centos 6.4 fresh install does not pick up the NIC network.

Post by Harvey »

normally i would see a network prompt in the install wizard procedure. this did not happen.

so ..

reboot on fresh install.
login as root
ifconfig command shows no eth0
then i type "ifconfig eth0 up"
ifconfig now shows eth0 is there with no dhcp assigned.
tried a static ip - no luck.

Any one seen this behaviour before?

Also noticed this - rescure booting off install cd, i'm able to temp reconnect to NIC ok and able to pick DHCP. - strange, same drivers?

My fix so far is edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
ONBOOT=yes
save and reboot
