hi, i'm having some *BIG* problems
can't start net.eth0 .. no such device
can't start netmount .. no such device
the errors shown are something like:
SIOCSFIADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: no such device
SIOCSFIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: No such device
SIOCSFINETMASK: No such device
any help please ?
seems that it doesn't find /usr/lib/init.d/softlevel too ..
and i did "locate softlevel"
.. it is true .. dosn't exist.

can you 'see' your hardware? check it with (you might need to emerge pciutils for this)
are your network card's drivers (kernel modules) compiled & loaded?
etc. some more details could be helpful.

emerge -e pciutils
started recompiling
maybe i could get in to something good.

I have a /var/lib/init.d/softlevel as opposed to /usr/lib/init.d/softlevel.

A normal power down or a crash? Also, I am curious as to what filesystem you are using, ext3, reiserfs, etc... ?

Have you tried rebuilding your kernel or kernel modules, since you imply knowing what nic module you need? You don't need network for that.

you usually don't need to emerge kernel modules (especially not for tulip cards) if the module's compiled (at kernel compilation time) should do the trick.
