you chrooted and then rebooted?
did you do any stage install?
did you edited your /etc/conf.d/net file?
did you rc-update add net.eth0 default?

That that means is the driver for the NIC card isn't loading or wrong. When you compiled your kernel you probably selected the wrong one. The best way it to to the pciutil or even the dmesg, find the network card, then recompile the kernel with the right one as a module. Also if network worked in the LiveCD then you can always boot from that and to the lsmod and it will show what NIC driver it loaded for your NIC card. Then you know what to do in the kernel to make it work. |

| Cool, thanks for all the advice, im new to gentoo and i just installed yesterday from a 2004.2 Live-CD. Genkernel did not work so i had to complie it myself, even thou i had no idea what i was doing and did not know my system at all, as RH9 baybed me through the whole process. Now that i know what I am doing I will get a 2004.3 cd and re-do the install, iv got issues with windows and grub atm thou. I already made a post on this forum "Adding windows to grub?" i think it was called, so if you could call your attention to that and let this one die out, that would be great, thanks |

In all honesty you don't really need to use Windows anymore. Just get VMWARE or use Wine do run the Windows apps that you need. The only real reason to keep Windows as a real boot is if you have some hardware that doesn't work in Linux or some app that needs a Hardware key that fails in VMWARE. |

if thats really what you want to do...
but to make your network card work is
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
(then navigate to:
Device Drivers ----------->
Networking Support ---------->
Ethernet 10 or 100 megabit -------->
select Ethernet 10 or 100 megabit as built in to kernel (will have a * in it)
then put an M in EtherExpressPro/100 support (eepro100, original Becker driver) |
then select exit until it asks you to save. tell it you want to save and you will drop back to your terminal.
type | Code: | | make && make modules_install |
(if using a 2.6 kernel like you should be :p )
when thats done type
then you can use ifconfig to setup your network card.
also add eepro100 to /etc/modules.autoload/<kernel version> file so you dont have to modprobe eepro100 every time you restart your system |

You don't need to re-install. Just reboot from the liveCD, mount partitions and proc filesystem, chroot into /mnt/gentoo, "env-update && source /etc/profile" to update environment settings, and then jump straight back to the kernel configuration part of the Handbook and continue from there.
Unless, of course, I'm talking to one who loves doing "emerge system" all over again. Was fedora install too convenient for your liking? 
PS. I can attest that unless you play windows games, you don't have to keep bill gates' code on your hard disk any longer. I have one internet explorer (yes, microsoft's internet explorer) window open right next to this firefox window where i'm typing this, and it's browsing perfectly. Even faster than IE on windows i would say. Not to mention a lot safer. |

Don't even need to do that since he did well enough to have a bootable install. ^^ good job! Just need to do what Michael.Terence said to do.. |
