no network after reboot-via rhine II

[wolfgangsta]

Hello guys!

I have a Via Rhine II network interface and i got i to work with life-cd with noapic (thx to the german forum for that!).

I configured the kernel manually (i think there's the problem!), and i added via_rhine as a module and i load it with boot!

then, i edited grub.conf so there is noapic as well (of course, i think at least!)

after reboot i get this error:

Bringing up eth0 via dhcp
ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
            "netmount" was not started.

now, with ifconfig, the device doesn't show up. ifconfig eth0 works though ... lspci doesn't work anymore. why?

now i think it has to do something with the modules, because, with lifecd i get this for lsmod

Module used by
via_rhine 0
mii 1 via_rhine
crc32 1 via_rhine
[...]
but now i get:
[...]
via_rhine 0
[..] and the mii, and crc32 is missing

what did i do wrong compiling the kernel? PLEASE HELP!!!

You have forgotten to compile those modules?

Open your .config file and set CONFIG_CRC32=y and CONFIG_MII=y

Recompile and enjoy.



could it be lspci does not work because you were running it from the CD before and now you are using your new gentoo system which does not have lspci?

[wolfgangsta]

config_crc32 and config_mii are set to "y"!

what else can be the problem? I will try to compile it with genkernel, maybe that works ..

lspci: and how can i get support for lspci?
