Ah, I see. This is certainly the problem here, it appears you upgraded kernels without building in the correct network driver as a module. :/ Unfortunately, fixing this mistake is a bit beyond my depth here. I would consider looking up this error to see if you get any results with information on correcting this. If you need more assistance, you could also make a post here on our forums: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums. There, a community member, off duty support tech or even John, our CEO, would be able to reply with some insight.

after updating gentoo and rebooting my vds is now unreachable. is there any way to fix this? the only thing i can do currently is connect via vnc.

[stickz]

to update gentoo, i ran these steps twice. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-807345.html
rebooted my vds with 100+ installed updates (everything worked fine).
ran perl cleaner to deal with 10+ updates that had failed.

Code: Select all

perl-cleaner --all

ran the steps once more and rebooted my vds. (all but acouple updates were sucessful)
after the last reboot was when i got the host unreachable.

What do you see as the response to this?

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

Please use an image host such as imgur that allows easy viewing, or just post as an attachment.

It appears you typed ipconfig -a, which is wrong, make sure you type ifconfig -a

also, this is what my network config looks like . https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/978 ... 284%29.png

When you upgraded the Gentoo packages, you didn't read the warnings and missed that the newer udev version would rename your ethernet adapter . You have two options: Tell it not to rename the adapter by adding net.ifnames=0 to your kernel boot line; or, update your /etc/conf.d/net file, /etc/init.d/net.x file, and rc-update configuration to use the new adapter name (enp0s4).

It's important to read all of those messages when you emerge!

renamed the network adapter and everything else to fix that issue. atleast for the most part. can use the internet perfectly fine now except for one thing. it can't resolve any hostnames. if i type in the ip of the hostname, that however it works.

Replace your /etc/resolv.conf file contents with this:

Code: Select all

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Can you please tell why you upgraded the kernel ?
Did you patch it with ck or rt patches for game servers or something else and did you see any performance increase when you did ?

I would appreciate if you answer these questions.

upgraded it more for compatibility reasons with latest Linux game servers such as Natural Selection 2 and Insurgency. the kernel upgrade has slightly improved the already decent performance aswell.

if you look above, the exact instructions how to upgrade and fix any problems is there.
