Apache2 kills eth0/dhcp on boot? [solved]

[dinergy]

never mind, i'm an idiot. 2 days of being sick must have fried something important in my head.

i forgot to add the *sis900* module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 for my nic.

although, it is interesting that it works fine without that until you try to start apache or mysql at boot.

anyway...solved. sorry for the time.

(i was unable to find a similar problem in the forums...)

after a smooth, clean install of gentoo 2004.3 kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6, i finish by adding a standard user, adding sshd to my default runlevel at boot and restart with no issues. i can access the net from the box and remotely manage it from my other desktops.

after i install apache2, i configure it, start is via /etc/init.d/apache2 start and test it from my desktop's web browser...works fine. i add it to my defaul runlevel at boot (rc-update add apache2 default) and reboot.

after i reboot, dhcp/eth0 fails to start, sshd fails to start and apache2 fails to start. i cannot remote in since sshd failed...from the box itself *ifconfig* reveals eth0 didn't start so i can't access the network or internet.

if i remove apache2 from boot (rc-update del apache2 default) and restart everything works fine again.

so, what am i missing???

i've checked my logs and didn't see anything obvious. i just skimmed them...but nothing glared at me as being wrong.

any help would be much appreciated.
