From: Arun Vidarjee on 13 Jun 2010 06:07 I have a new Lenovo X201 notebook with the ethernet chip Intel 82577LM. I had the infamous "black screen" problem booting Linux, both archlinux and Ubuntu latest. Could install arch by booting with the kernel parameter nomodeset. It loads the module e1000e. # uname -a Linux myhost 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 17 08:36:58 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 540 @ 2.53 GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5c:....

Any idea how do progress? Arun

And Windows get an address from dhcp. I will try setting a static ip though. Arun

Tried that with no success: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 # ifconfig eth0 .... inet addr: 192.168.1.110 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 # route 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 # ping 192.168.1.1 .... Destination Host Unreachable .... 6 Packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 error, 100% packet loss # route add default gw 192.168.1.1 ping no improvement. I have the feeling, the packets are not sent. Any pointers to the cause of this problem? Arun

Do you have a firewall active? Try disabling it and the repeat the above. Check the firewall rules with the command: iptables --list Confirm that the gateway really is at 192.168.1.1. Try to ping another machine in the LAN. If the above does not work, after setting a static IP and pinging what is the output the following command: iptables --list cat /proc/net/arp cat /proc/net/dev ifconfig dmesg | tail -n 20 Regards. |
