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/?

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  |

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
