you tried to load the kernel-module directly in the following way:

When I enter the new Gentoo environment, /lib/modules doesn't exist. Should I copy that directory over to /mnt/gentoo/lib/modules before I chroot? |
ah, I see:
you want to load the modules inside the chroot environment, right?
that's not necessary: you only need to load the modules from the livecd, then establish a connection via
dhcpcd eth0
(may vary)
look, if it works ifconfig
(should show something like:
ifconfig

copy over /etc/resolv.conf from the livecd to your chroot-environment
| Code: | | cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |
did you do that?
these steps should be described in the gentoo handbook (also included on the livecd I think ...), just follow every step applicable to your case as possible, and you should be fine
do you use a router, cable modem, adsl-modem ?

Yeah, I did do all those steps but I realized that dhcpcd wasn't in the new environment. After I copied that from the liveCD to the new env and ran it, everything worked great. Thanks for the help! |

| If none of that works, there's also the OpenSuse 10.2 install CD #1. It's a bit larger than necessary (full 685MB of ISO goodness), but it covers all that and more.. |

Solved - Sky2 is buggy atm, load as a module for the ability to reload at will.
Thanks for the LiveCD KernelofTruth!

On a laptop:
LiveCD was booting great up until pcmcia services attempted to start, in which they froze up, and booting stood still. I tried to do an Interactive boot, but I couldn't get past readahead_list_early.
In a VM:
Boots quickly and well.
Edit: Also tried booting with gentoo-nofb nopcmcia=yes, and it didn't load yenta-socket, but still froze after (same spot as earlier):
Service pcmcia starting
Service netmount starting
Service local starting
Service netmount started
cardmgr[8356]: watching 3 sockets
Service acpid started
Service syslog-ng started
Service gpm started

Hey KernelofTruth-
Can you post (or email / pm) your current kernel config on the P5W-DH? I'm having some really strange problems, I'd like to take a look at yours to see what I'm doing wrong. |

thanks ! I guess I'll have to remove pcmcia-cs & readhead for the next release (if applicable) ?

Hi there
I have a brand-new P5B-E and tried using the kernel-of-truth livecd because of the attansic driver (atl1).
At startup, it says that it is loading the atl1 module, but ifconfig shows only lo...
modprobe atl1 results in nothing - no message, no eth0...
The same PC is already set up for Windows, where the NIC works...
Can you give me some advice?
(downloaded release 9 of the kernel-of-truth livecd, btw)

Thanks for the quick answer!
OK, here's the output of ls -l /lib/modules:
| Code: |
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 279 Mar 4 12:02 2.6.20-kot
|
...but I am not sure whether this is what you were looking for... anyway, I looked into the directory, and there is a directory drivers/net, in which there is another one, atl1, where finally the file atl1.ko resides.
However, an insmod gives the following error:
| Code: | | insmod: error inserting 'atl1.ko': -1 File exists |
I will now try r7, as suggested.

Hi kernelOfTruth
I have a new Asus P5K with that Intel P35 chipset.
After all I tried your small-gentoo_x86. And so far it seems to be working.
The problem I have I can't sudo with that written password 'root'.
The bootmessage is
| Code: |
...
root password is set to 'root' (changeme!)
...
for root access - type: sudo su
|
I tried all I could and got always that:
| Code: |
user@small-gentoo_x86 ~ $ sudo su
Password:
Sorry.
user@small-gentoo_x86 ~ $
|
Well I can'd see the mistake, it seems I need more sleep.  |

| Is this modified cd still necessary? 2007.0 has a kernel with jmicron raid support, right? |

Hello kernelOfTruth
Been struggling with the ASUS P5K for a few days. The board can boot from your livecd (2.6.21-kamikaze3) but not from a locally build kernel (2.6.23-r3 gentoo vanilla). I grabbed your config (zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config) and followed by a make oldconfig. The machine runs all reiserfs, standard partitions, nothing fancy e.g. raid or lvm).
The problem is that the machine hangs when reaching "starting lo" Occasionally it will progress and i can log in but the minute I try to do any file writes to the file system, it hangs. I have a single SATA HDD and a single Plextor PX810SA SATA DVDRW. I have added noapic and irqpoll to the grub lines (should these be "quoted"?) same results.
any ideas? |

| Well looks like problem solved -- it looks like the Radeon kernel driver was the culprit. |
