I am attempting to install Gentoo on an HP Netserver LH3 (specs here) and I have had some interesting problems.

First off, when I tried to use the minimal LiveCD 2004.1 it would lockup and not recognize my network or scsi (on the smp kernel). So, after browsing these forums, I determined that I should try the 2004.0 minimal cd. SO, I got it to boot to the livecd root, and now lsmod brings up this,...
Code:
intel_agp
agpart
megaraid
eepro100
mii
sbp2
eth1394
ohci1394
ieee1394
usb_storage

Also, when I rmmod the NIC modules, and try to for instance
Code:
rmmod epro100
modprobe e100
it just spits up
Code:
Fatal: module not found
When I try to config the modules that gentoo loads on boot
via
Code:
ifconfig 128.1.2.211 broadcast 128.1.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
it gives me this
Code:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented


People, I am *somewhat* of a noob, and I have been scouring the internet for a day or so trying to figure this out. Any insight would be welcome.

Also, could someone tell me why gentoo loads usb and firewire modules when there aren't even controllers for that in the netserver?

Thanx!

I think your firewire is being detected as eth0, which bumps your Intel NIC up to eth1.

Try this
Code:
ifconfig eth1 128.1.2.211 broadcast 128.1.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
