I want to install gentoo64 on mij amd64 notebook. but the problem is that it doesn't bring up my nic.

it's a via rhine II and my mobo has via chipset.
After booting the liveCD 2004.3 for amd64 this is my error:
Code:
* Starting syslog-ng...                                                                                          [ok]
* You need to setup MOUSEDEV and MOUSE in /etc/conf.d/gpm first
* Mounting network filesystems...                                                                                [ok]
* Auto-scrambling root password for security                                                                     [ok]


There is nothing like bringing up eth0 like on my other gentoobox.

this is mijn lspci (only the this i believe to be something of my nics):
Code:
0000:00:0c.0 Network controller: Ralink Ralink rt2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card(rev 01)
0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74)


I already found which module to modprobe, but it doesn't work after all..

lsmod after modprobe via_rhine
Code:
module                  Size Used     By
via_rhine              17769 0
mii                     3200 1 via_rhine
crc32                   3712 1 via_rhine
rtc                     9872 0
sbp2                   19464 0
ohci1394               26692 0
ieee1394               66712 2 sbp2,ohci1394
usb_storage            50816 0
ohci_hcd               16708 0
uhci_hcd               25376 0
ehci_hcd               23108 0


know gentoo does show my eth0 but i can't get an ip from my router (router is ok, my other box gets an ip via dhcp).
and if i specify my ip manually to 192.168.1.184, i get something like this when i ping the router:
Code:
ping 192.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
from 192.1.184 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
from 192.1.184 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
from 192.1.184 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable


Can i fix this, because i can't install a kernel like this... or even use emerge

Doesn't exist. It's Gentoo or nuffin'.

It never does - you have to load the module yourself.

What error ?

LiveCD, remember ? You have to configure it.

Did you run dhcpcd eth0 ?
Or net-setup eth0 ?

Yes... something like this, but not this - it is not valid ping output.

You'll have to be more precise in exactly what happens and what commands you executed.
If I interpret what you write sensibly then it should simply work, but that's the problem - I should never have to interpret what happened, you should write it.

Did you reboot after running "rc-update ..." ?

If not, try to start the interface with
Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

manually (as root).

No, i didn't reboot, because there is no gentoo installed on my hard disk, so i lose every setting i made...

I did
Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
and it says:
Code:
* warning: "net.eth0" has already been started.

It always tries, but with this nic it doesn't, in my other box i have a 3 com card and it is automatically recogniced by the liveCD, so don't think that is never does bring up nics...

It is the output of my ping command tho...

No, that is not the output of a ping command - if you had run that it would probably have told you that it could not perform your request.
Could you post the output of
Code:
ifconfig -a
route -n

after you have done net-setup eth0 ?

Please post the exact output.

hehe, i found the solution! \o/

When booting you can give some parameters with the kernel, i gave parameter noapic...

and guess what, it works like a charm now :)


After all, i am ashamed that it was so simpel [because the explaination says: disable apic (try if having hardware problems nics,scsi,etc) ] :oops:

please accept my apology ;) and for those who have problems with there nic, try this :D
