"netmount" was not started.

Heya guys, here we go. I somehow crashed my first version of gentoo so I decided to go ahead and rebuild my system a little better

using the 2.6 kernel this time. anyway Ive worked through a few errors and this is my next one.

*Bringing eth1 up via DHCP...

* ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started"

It seems Ive missed something, checked my kernel config, my 3com module is complied and selected, included in the file which I know forget so that it can be loaded.

I have installed dhcpcd.

I have read around and have not been able to find a good fix, anyone know this one?

emerge portmap
rc-update add netmount default
rc-update add portmap default

is portmap another version of netmount?

netmount is installed and is added to default, otherwise it would not show up :p also i can run it manually but i get the same error. the problem lies in the bridge, but i will reinstall everything anyway. Thanks, any more advice?

err, netmount doesnt work without portmap.
if you run "/etc/init.d/netmount start", then it will first start portmap. if portmap isnt found, netmount will fail.
well, at least this is the case for me. your mileage might vary..

*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.

ifconfig does not show my ethernet card, (eth1) in this case. But since eth1 never got up I dont see why it would. what is the command to force eth1 up? does it require netmount and or portmap?

I had the same problem and emerging portmap fixed it. Thanks, you saved me a headache.

its done. eth1 is configured :0) but still the same error, i added eth0 back to default and relinked everything but nosuch luck. is there a way to verbosely find out why netmount is not working? perhaps its a problem with my networking?

ohh, this bites. my nvidia based card works :p added net0 to the bootup and switched my network cable. well, now i know that my error lies in my 3com port and module, ill keep messing with this.

I have run over the full version many times over, thats not the problem, im convinced that the 2.6 kernel for some reason does not like my eth1 so i am just going to use eth0

Thanks!

Hi,

I had the same error.
Don't if it had the same reason, but for me it was because I had forgotten to

well, haveing the module for the network card loaded is the minimum requirement, i'd say.
