hi
im new to linux, i just installed gentoo, but there a few things wrong
when it loads, my pcmcia card is not enabled properly right away. i need to use "dhcpcd eth0" to be able to hit my lan. i want this to happen on every start up, however i dont know how to do this. is there a single file that holds all start up commands, if so, where is it
also, i have as my boot statement
| Code: |
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.23 root=/dev/hda3 vga=788
|
however, it is loading the screen in what clearly is 640x480, when i want 8x6. is there something wrong with the statement
thanks
mike |

You probably need to edit 2 files to get your NIC up. One is /etc/conf.d/net and /etcconf.d/usb. I dont use usb so I cant help there but in ..f.d/net | Code: |
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp" UNCOMMENT THIS LINE |
There is nothing wrong with your grub line so you probably didnt get it rigth in your kernel config. Read this it should help The Gentoo Framebuffer, Bootsplash & Grubsplash How-To

You also need to run as root:
| Code: |
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
|
This will start your network on boot. |
