I have problem with network in buildroot on my VirtualMachine. When i typing ifconfig i get answer:

eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

While loading buildroot on console i see:

ip: SI0CGIFFALGS :No such device

I cant`t find the way resolve this problem.

From the last line in the boot log, you might add Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support as @TadejP mentioned.

# make linux-menuconfig

Device drivers —>
Network device support —>
Ethernet driver support—>

Select:

<*>     Intel(R) PRO/100+ support                                
<*>     Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support               
<*>     Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support    
<*>     Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support
[*]     Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit adapters HWMON support  
<*>     Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support

And should work now with VM.

Your problem is not a Buildroot problem, but a kernel configuration problem.
