i have bought this sitecom gbit nic.. cant get it to work on my gentoo machine
i've got kernel gentoo-sources
lcpsi gives:

i did <*> Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support in my kernel
and then i exited, saved the configuration
i ran a make && make modules_install
and then i copied over the kernel
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

1) Did you have /boot mounted when you copied over the new kernel?
2) Is your grub (or other bootloader) pointing to your new kernel? |

If I recall correctly, Gentoo installation docs usually have you set /boot up so that it is not mounted by default.
You can easily check whether or not it is currently mounted by running 'df' and check to see if your boot partition is listed under the mounted filesystems column.
If you copied files to /boot while it was unmounted, WITH IT STILL UNMOUNTED just 'rm -f /boot/*', then mount it with 'mount /boot', then copy your kernel over and proceed as usual. |
