Post subject:  Network problem eth0

-- the "network information" section of my profile only has netmask/gw info
-- my linode has no "eth0" device
-- rebooting the linode doesnt' help
-- executing any of the ifconfig or /etc/init.d/network* commands fail since there is no eth0
-- /proc/modules is non-existant

please help

Chris I have been doing alot of reboots through out the day and nothing worked. It is very strange that you now did a reboot and it found the eth0 (networkcard) do you think that it could have been something else ?

Post subject:  one more question

what way did you issue the reboot ? Through the WEB or the SHELL ?

It's my understanding you should always reboot from the web.

You can reboot via the web (Linode Platform Manager) or via the Linode Shell on the virtual console - just issue the reboot command at the lish prompt.

Issuing a reboot command from within your Linode is not supported and will just shut the Linode down.

For those of you who are lazy, if you setup the following aliase you can reboot from within your linode

alias reboot='ssh account_name@hostxx.linode.com reboot'

you will just need to enter your password, or for a seemless reboot set-up ssh keys.
