Getting IP

Been a slackware user for years, just purchased amd64 3000+ MB/CPU... Downloaded the 64bit gentoo livecd, and copied the stage1 tarball over to the hda6 it is going to be installed on. Everything fine so far...

No eth0 module was loaded. So i used modprobe to load it, everything still ok...ifconfig eth0 up, everything fine... but no IP. dhcpcd eth0 takes awhile to finish, and it just turns off my eth0.

I tried manually giving it a IP "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100" and it accepts it. But i cannot ping out. Can ping the router, but not a IP outside...

Anyone have any ideas?

Well, i'm at the part of install that requires me to setup the bootloader. Following the handbook, it goes through the setup of Grub. I have been using lilo for years and am pretty sure that i would manage to screw something up using grub.

I tried emerge lilo, but it came back with a error... Would someone be so kind as to show me the command line to emerge lilo instead. I'm sure that for you experianced guys, you would know where to look to find this easily. But being my first gentoo install, i dont know anything about emerge, or exactly where it is getting it's data from...

Appreciate it

"emerge lilo" is what i tried before and came up with the following error. I should have postee it to begin with, my appologies.

calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "lilo" have been masked.
!!! One of the foloowing masked packages is required to complete your request.
- sys-boot/lilo-22.6.1 (masked by: -* keyword)

Appreciate your time.

knightmare,

That version of lilo is marked unstable. It belongs to the ~ packages.
You will need to unmask it manually.
I run a fully ~x86 system, so I have never done that.

I think the command is

not sure whether it matters much for the bootloader, but just a note to everyone that using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS from the command line is deprecated... use /etc/portage/package.keywords instead

for more details, see man portage

Doh, as an AMD64 user I should have noticed that. But he asked an unrelated question first so I got side tracked...

lilo will not work on AMD64.
