 |
|
Hello Gentoo forums, total Linux noob here. This is my first attempt at installing any type of Linux and I did well until I tried to emerge proftpd and mysql. When emerging, it stops stating that it cannot download a certain file. I was walked through most of it by a friend of mine who has installed gentoo linux on more than one occasion and when we arrived at this problem, he was stumped. We found out that it has something to do with my Ethernet settings. When using the liveCD, I can ping and links2 just fine, but when I run the normal install, I am unable to do neither ping nor links2 (nor anything else that requires the internet).
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Below is some information about my system.
P4 1.6ghz
| Code: |
# ifconfig eth0
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:2C:A1:FB:A9
inet addr: 192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

# lspci | grep Ethernet

and here are modules outputted when I lsmod

Do you have a router? If so, you might need dhcpcd.
Edit /etc/conf.d/net to use
This is all I can come up with, hopefully it works. |

I did that, and it didn't work. I do believe that my friend and I tried that earlier without any success. Thanks anyway for the reply.
edit: And yes, I do have a router. It is a NetGear WGR614. |

Hi.
Post the output of
When you installed the system did you remember to copy /etc/resolv.conf to the chroot?

I tried to nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf off of liveCD and there was no file. There was not even a /mnt/gentoo/etc/ directory. I made that directory then cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf. Rebooted, and it still didn't work. I also nano /etc/resolv.conf to find it pretty much exactly how it was on the liveCD.
Below are the contents when I ifconfig -a

Ok.
First you need to mount your partitions under the live-cd
| Code: | | # mount -t filesystem /dev/rootpart /mnt/gentoo |
Then you can check for /etc/resolv.conf. Finally, if that output was from your system, your card has no ip address. You should check the network config at /etc/conf.d/net

I did all that, and checked the config and everything seems fine.
I think the problem is that dhcpcd cannot assign an IP to eth0 and manually configuring it through ifconfig also does not work. |

If manually configuring it through ifconfig fails... then the problem is likely either your NIC is broken or you've got a problem with the kernel driver (ie you have the wrong driver for your NIC). |

Okay I finally got it working. I just recomplied my kernel manually instead of using genkernel --udev all. I enabled all of the options on the Network options.
Thanks for all your help guys. |
