Failure to initialize network interface.

Post by AdamTher » 2014/07/16 00:30:49

Hello,

Recently I've installed CentOS 7. I have a ISP provided modem/router combo and a direct connection to it through Ethernet. The device has been reset to factory settings. The cable has been tested and a second cable has been used. The OS has been reinstalled twice, passing the media test once.

The motherboard eno1 or eth0 cannot complete its initialization, Im not sure why. Even with a static IP within the same subnet it still wont communicate. I performed a yum update and used nmtui. Any ideas?

Motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77I_DELUXE/
LAN: Intel® 82579V, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller(s)

Do you get errors in the logs? Check /var/log/messages
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

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