Hello !

I just got around to installing Gentoo using that stage 3 on 1 guide floating around the tips and tricks forum, but I get a rather unusual error on starting up eth0

Code:

 * Starting eth0
 *     adsl does not support the required function provides
 *     apipa does not support the required function check_installed
 *     arping does not support the required function provides
 *     bonding does not support the required function provides
 *     bridge does not support the required function provides
 *     dhclient does not support the required function provides
 *     dhcpcd does not support the required function provides
 *     essidnet does not support the required function check_installed
 *     ifconfig does not support the required function provides
 *     ifplugd does not support the required function provides
 *     ipppd does not support the required function provides
 *     iproute2 does not support the required function provides
 *     iptunnel does not support the required function check_installed
 *     iwconfig does not support the required function provides
 *     macchanger does not support the required function check_installed
 *     macnet does not support the required function check_installed
 *     netplugd does not support the required function provides
 *     pppd does not support the required function provides
 *     pump does not support the required function provides
 *     rename does not support the required function check_installed
 *     system does not support the required function check_installed
 *     tuntap does not support the required function provides
 *     udhcpc does not support the required function provides
 *     vlan does not support the required function provides
 *     wpa_supplicant does not support the required function provides
 *       no interface module has been loaded


I've gone through my kernel and made sure all the required things were there, proper drivers are built in too.

This also happens when someone tries to log on (or adding a user)

Code:

configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_ROOTPATH' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator)


Does anyone know what is happening ? Even ifconfig brings up no devices (not even a loopback device !!!)

use ifconfig -a to see all devices, even those that are down. it looks like problem with gentoo configuration, not with hardware/kernel issue. could you post some related configuration files from /etc/conf.d/?

You upgraded baselayout without updating net.lo and/or net.eth0 is not a symlink to net.lo

I have the same problem and after doing
Code:

env-update

and
Code:

ln -s /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.lo

it's all the same. What am I doing wrong?

It's quite simple, you have to do " etc-update " and NOT " env-update"
blah... i've had the same problem once, and personally, i was soo fucking angry that I almost smashed my keyboard to pieces. (fortunately i have tought of etc-update before I could do that).
btw.. you should also check, that ur /etc/init.d/net.ethX is linked to /etc/init.d/net.lo :twisted:

I had this same problem. I updated all the files it told me, but I didn't do the *last* step in the install notes. Copy-paste-run and things mostly work now :)

* WARNING: You have older net.eth* files in //etc/init.d/
* They need to be converted to symlinks to net.lo. If you haven't
* made personal changes to those files, you can update with the
* following command:
*
* # /bin/ls /etc/init.d/net.eth* | xargs -n1 ln -sfvn net.lo

Just makes the links for you, but :)

- Andrew
