Networking problems - DHCP

Hi all,

I'm just finishing up a stage 1 install, and was able to boot my PC (surprisingly) on the first try. I'm now experiencing some network problems. When it goes to use DHCP - it gives me

running dhcpcd... [!!]

It doesn't give me any errors, nor does it tell me any modules are missing.

If I run dhcpcd eth0, it doesn't say anything.

the last time I had gentoo installed on this machine, it worked fine, so I don't know wha tI did differently this time.

PS, using genkernel

maybe check 'dmesg' to see if that gives any errors.

checked dmesg, no errors there. Anything else that would make sense to check? It's odd that DHCP doesn' seem to work, when it did last time I installed.

Try bringing up eth0 manually using ifconfig to test before you worry about the DHCP part.
