 |
|
I searched but found no luck for a fix for my problem. Ok..to start off
Its on a celeron based computer, from stage 1. Its a powerspec (basic computer with a lot of onboard junk) with a onboard lan. I messed with that damn onboard Network card for the last few days, the only module it would run was dummy(found this out from lsmod after I booted from the install cd)then I dug up a old kingston KNE111TX. From a quick search on here I decided Tulip is the module after more searching I then learned it must be compiled into the kernel. So, off I went to compile it. I found the correct module and loaded it up. Did a quick | Code: | # make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
and that was that, I figured my networking woes would be over. hah, fooled me. Ok, here is where I stand now. Upon boot up it says
| Code: | dhcpcd: Host name failure
ifconfig: '--help' gives usage information
*faied to bring eth0 up
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services
* "netmount" was not started. |
Now this confuses me.. what should I do? I run a DHCP router that drops me a ip and that works on all my other computers fine at the moment.
I guess here is some networking settings that could be in question, just to try to save you all some time...
This is my /etc/conf.d/net file
| Code: | iface_eth0"192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
iface_eth0"dhcpcd" |
Since it was a host name error, my 1st suspect was the /etc/resolv.conf file, sadly it looks to be fine
| Code: | nameserver 24.94.165.25
nameserver 24.94.163.34
nameserver 24.94.163.33
search kc.rr.com |
on a side note, I have tried changing just about everything, and then back, just normal troubleshooting, I have done
| Code: | | rc-update add net.eth0 default |
among a ton of other fixes I found while digging through the forums here. Oh well, I hope someone is able to help me, im STUCK.
Thanx for atleast reading it, sorry for all the typo's. Its 530 here and I have been staring at my gentoo console for about 5 hours now.

make sure that the card is working 'lsmod' and 'ifconfig', edit the /etc/init.d script so that it doesnt send errors to the big bit bucket...
