Well, to start, I`ve chosen gentoo because it downloads all the latest packages, which saves me going dependency hunting. I`ve set up a virtual PC with MS Virtual PC 2004 because I can`t afford another computer at the moment, and this PC warranty is still going, so I cant wipe it.
I`ve gotten as far as setting up the network with the minimal install CD, and it just doesnt seem to work. I run and select my appropriate settings, and then run - rather than just bringing up lo, it displays eth0, which seems good, and I can test it, but when I try it returns , I look at my ifconfig again, and now it only displays lo. I would really appreciate help.
Thanks. |

Hi.
What does
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
give you?
Have you loaded the correct module for your nic?
run
to see what chipset your nic uses.
then
if you dont know the modules name, then run
| Code: | | find /lib/modules/<kernel version>/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' |
to find all modules available. look for the ones under net. |

What did this command give you for output?
If you post that I might be able to help you...
And change that last command to:
| Code: | | find /lib/modules/<your version here>/kernel/drivers/net/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' |
Please post that output too...
I saw now that the output of ifconfig is recognizing your network card... so please post that output too.... |

you could try this:
and if that doesnt give any errormessage,
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
otherwise test an other of the ones that was listed under the "tulip" subfolder.
check to see that you have ip:
should provide you with the ip that you have on the net.eth0 card.
that is probably all I can help you with today atleast, im off to bed now, going up early tomorrow... |

<*> New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx Support
Although if its a new board you'll need the driver patch from the marvell web site. Go here http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do. Enter 88E8001. Pick the linux one, on second page. Download to something like /usr/src. Extract tarball. In /usr/src/DriverInstall run # sh ./install.sh. Select make a patch. Save patch in /usr/src/linux as something patchy like sklin.patch. Run # patch -i sklin.patch -p 1 (I think it -p 1) in /usr/src/linux. Then use the Marvellously patched driver (it the one that says marvell, leave the other one out if i won't find your network interface, its supposed to just doesn't have the chip in the hotplug list yet). If your on a live cd you'll need an interface card to get you started or a kernel and live cd that has your mod. Sorry bout this there seem to be licensing/kernel updating issues that there working on. You need to make a patch and apply it to every new kernel. |
