| I installed everything okay with genkernel and internet worked fine for livecd. I then rebooted and at the hardware thing it says eth0 not detected. What should I do? I have a 8139 card by Realtech |

Hi,
Genkernel hasn't compiled the module for your device, I think you need to run | Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig |
and go into device drivers -> networking and make sure you have compiled support for your network device in there. |

Actually, it may already be compiled as a module but you will need to load it.
Run if there are no errors then try the following:
Open up /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and add
Reboot and it should work!
If modprobe did give errors then the module has not been compiled and you just need to rebuild your kernel with it selected and then add the line to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |

| If you want it to automatically start make sure you add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |

How do I add my tulip module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/ so that it will start up automatically?
Thanks. |
