After instaling gentoo i rebooted and it came up with the lines
| Code: | startingeth0
bringing up eth0
dhcp
eth0 does not exist
error: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started.
Error: Problem starting needed services.
"sshd" was not started. |
as it goes through the bootup check thing (i am a newbie)
after reading through a lot of posts and online help, i tryed a lot of commands. The command work and the card is listed there.
when i used the command it came up with only the lo.
I pluged in wich worked for me. It gave me the results and now eth0 shows in ifconfig. But the i rebooted and the same problem so how do i keep the tulip there.
Also i have another q. With gentoo i have been putting in comands like | Code: | | /ect/init.d/sshd start |
but it returns with no such file or directory...??
also when i used it comes up with a new file. but it is supposted to open a file to read as it said in other posts.
any help would be great.
thanks

just run
| Code: | | echo tulip >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
or add coldplug to boot runlevel, if you haven't already.

It's '/etc/init.d/sshd start'

nano -w [any file]: it's an editor, why do you want to use it on dirs?

You didn't compile the driver for your network card in the kernel or loaded the module.

You need to do the following:
| Code: | | # echo "tulip" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |

Well, have you tried running /etc/init.d/sshd start? I would also confirm the path for the files you're trying to edit with nano.

I put in the
| Code: | | # echo "tulip" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
and also
| Code: | | echo tulip >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
each one ent in but thier was no change, as in no out put.
I thyped in "ifconfig" and the card still isnt there.
I realised why i couldnt get sshd to start i was using '/ect/' not '/etc'
that is why i was getting odd resuts when i attempeted to open files with nano.
I entered the
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/sshd start |
it starts but then says
| Code: | eth0 does not exist
Error: problem starting needed services.
"sshd" was not started" |
this was given after entering the top 2 kernel commands.
Help......  |

I just entered

with the command
i get the output
| Quote: | | 00:10.0 Ethernet controler:Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31) |
that is the first line. So from my knowledge of linux, tulip i needed on the cards but it isnt working now....???
now am confused.
I wanted to add;
after typing this post i put in again and it works. how come it didnt work before but does now??? |

Not sure why that happened.
After you change the /etc/modules.autload.d/kernel-2.6, you need to restart your system for it to work. That file is used when the system boots. The # in # echo "tulip" >> /... means your prompt, so you shouldn't type it. Therefore, the commands were the same. You got no output, because that command adds a line to the end of the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file.

i didnt think about rebooting. (duh to me)
well it works sort of. The eth0 comes up and so does the sshd at the start. which is good
But then i tried to ping other computers on the network and it failed.
then i used and it showed this output
| Code: | | ? (192.168.0.1) at <incomplete> on eth0 |
there were more entries for other comupters that i pinged (just didnt type them) but they all showed the same.
so it looks to me like it is not working properly or that my network is failing. |

It seems the tulip driver doesn't work properly with your hardware - look at the number of packets and errors.
You should try using instead the following drivers: dmfe, de4x5 and de2104x.

i did think that there were to many errors.
How do i get the other drivers to work?
Is it the same think as before but replacing the tulip.
| Code: | | echo tulip >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
so instead
| Code: | | echo dmfe >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
| Code: | | echo de4x5 >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
| Code: | | echo de2104x >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |

You must first build them. Change your kernel config and select them as modules <M>. When you exit the kernel configuration save it and make the modules with
| Code: | | # make modules && make modules_install |
Then load them and try it out:
| Code: | # rmmod tulip
# modprobe dmfe
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
# ping -c 10 forums.gentoo.org
# ifconfig -a |
When you find a driver that works with your hardware, replace the tulip line in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with this driver.

could you please explain what that means.
I am new to gentoo and linux. So if possible each command with an explination would be nice.
thanks for all the help so far  |

If you're so new to Linux and Gentoo, you should be reading the Gentoo Handbook. It has detailed commands - look in the kernel configuration section.
To build your modules you must do the following:
| Code: | # cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig |
Now go to Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) ---> Tulip family network device support, enable "Tulip" family network device support and select as modules <M> Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support, Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA and Davicom DM910x/DM980x support.
Then exit the configuration, save it and make the modules with
| Code: | | # make modules && make modules_install |
Then you need to load each module and try it out. Start by removing the previous module you loaded
Now load the module you want to try. I suggest you try in this order: dmfe, de4x5 and de2104x.
Restart the network to have it try using the new driver
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
Test it and check its status
If this driver works, replace tulip with the name of the module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. If not, try the next driver.

I think that the stage 3 tarball hasnt unpacked properly because when i try an access "/usr/src/linux" is says "no suh file or irectory"
First of i thought that the kernal wasnt instaled properly. So i tried to install it again. and it said that from the command below
| Code: | #USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources
-/bin/bash: emerge: command not found |
from what i understand it looks as if the problem is deeper than i thought originaly. |

Are you sure you didn't boot from the live-cd and forgot to chroot?
If not, you really should start from the beginning, as it does seem that you had problems extracting the stage tarball.

i was in the live cd, does that make a differance?
also what is chroot??
I installed gentoo from the 'Universal' (i think) cd. one of the bigger ones with the gui. It compiled the stage 3 from the cd. So it might have gone wrong there. |

If you want to work in your system environment, after booting with the live-cd, you need to mount the partitions and chroot:
| Code: | # mount /dev/hdXY /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hdXZ /mnt/gentoo/boot
...
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# cat /proc/mounts /mnt/gentoo/etc/mtab
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile |
Until you do this, you're working on the live-cd environment, which doesn't have emerge or the kernel you built.

is it possible to reconfigure the kernal (like reinstall it) from the normal gentoo.
becuase when i put in the command
| Code: | | # cd /usr/src/linux |
it gave me no such file or dicectory.
in the live cd it did nothing.
So if i reinstalled the gentoo kernal would this fix the problem? or is the problem with the stage 3 doing its thing.
Because along the way of installing gentoo. stage 3 was the hardest thing to get going. That was why i went with the gui flashy install. but ironicaly it hasnt worked for me either. |

i wanted to add that when i was installing with the live-cd (i think that is what it is called) i had a lot of trouble when it was comiling/emerging/building the kernal.
The last time, the only time that it worked for me. which is now it looks like maybe it hasnt.
I have lost count of how many times i have tried to install gentoo. and i am getting quite annoyed becase a friend said that it was a stable reliable system. prob not for n00bs though.
If anyone wants to see the log output from the livecd i have it but it isnt that intresting. well not to me anyways.
thanks for the help so far guys.
good to know that there are people willing enough and with patience to work through problems with n00bs like me.
if this was windows i would have the problem fixed, just that linux is so much diffrent i have no idea where the head is from the feet! |

i think that i might of solved the problem.
I decided to do a reinstall of gentoo, because it was starting to look like the problem was deeper that i thought. When one of the options was choosing a Kernel. By default it chose the "livecd-kernal" on my last install i must of selected this one with out thinking.
I have selected "gentoo-sources" i belive it is called, so i hope that fixes the problem.
i will get back to this board asap to say if it fixes the problem
thanks for all the help so far. esecially to

hi
i have reinstalled gentoo. This time using "gentoo-sources" and it is working better that before.
now i dont get the "eth0" failing at startup.
I have got a problem though. I pinged www.gentoo.org and it worked fine, then i tried google. but nothing. then i went back to gentoo and it didnt work.
Why all of a sudden did it stop working?
is is something to do with the network?
thanks |

Post the output of the following:
| Code: | # ifconfig -a
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# grep -v ^# /etc/conf.d/net |
One of the problems with reinstalls is that we keep asking the same info over and over.

You should review your domain name, as Wilson is a non-conformant domain name. Try using wilson.local.
