HI 
I have put my gentoo hdd into a new machine as the motherboard has failed .I'm not to new with the hardware and have no manual but have not changed kernel settings because i was told the board has a nforce3 and i already have forcedeth enable in the kernel.
Here is some of the output i get when i try to start it,
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
* Loading networking modules for eth0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup iptunnel macchanger macnet rename ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* network interface eth0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
dhcpcd eth0
Error, dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device |
I no the onboard lan works as i am booting from a live cd.

Well i would take it that would be forcedeth that i have allready in my kernel so what other module could it be if not that ,when i ,
| Code: | lsmod & dmesg | grep eth0
[1] 7036
Module Size Used by
nvidia 4545012 -
[1]+ Done lsmod
localhost psycophobia # lsmod & dmesg | grep eth
[1] 7039
Module Size Used by
nvidia 4545012 -
forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.56.
[1]+ Done lsmod |
It just replys with forcedeth thats it 
| Code: | lspci
Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) |
