eth0: could not reserve IRQ 0.

After booting with the LiveCD, I am getting no IP address. My NIC is uses module 3c59x. I'm connected directly to my DSL modem, as I do not have a router. When I run "dhcpcd eth0", I get the message "eth0: could not reserve IRQ 0."

Sadly, I can get a connection when using WinblowsXP.

Any ideas?

try doing "net-setup eth0"

maybe your nic was mad windows only :-/

try these test and see if they work for you http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=3#doc_chap3

maybe you have to load support for your nic as a module manually from a floppy disk or something

Did you run lsmod to make sure that the 3c59x module is loaded? That could be the problem. If its not, then run modprobe 3c59x to load it, then try running dhcpcd eth0 again. Also, what card do you have, maybe 3c59x is the wrong module. Maybe you could post the output of lspci, so I could see if your card requires a different 3c* module.
