Hi Folks,
I'm installing gentoo on a Compaq Armada 7400. The problem I have right now is after installing up to stage 3 and recompile my kernel the laptop would hang after doing the "Starting Local..." step which I think is when multiuser mode get started.
The Laptop boots ok in single user mode
Any reason why this would happen ?
The network card is not detected by the system after installing but the card was detected on the net-setup from the cdrom. The chipset is intel and I have compile the proper drivers in the kernel
Help ?????   |

Does this link help you at all? It seems like they have a lot of the laptops specs and might help with the network card.

I have fouond some usefull information in there but what I did is use the vanillas sources and the system is booting ok now. It still doesn't detect eth0 but I'm still working on this. Also i can get X to start since the config file is looking for a monitor and doesn't seems smart enough to figure out that there is an LCD to start... |

Ok I got X working now but the kernel still doesn' t detect ETH0 help please... 
I can manually start eth0 by doing :
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
so how can I make sure that this is done at boot time ??? |
