| so i got forcedeth to load as a module at boot and that works fine, i got rid of a bunch of network drivers i didnt need, i checked all my /etc/conf.d/hostname /etc/conf.d/domainname and thats all fine. but i still get the same error! this is a nightmare! should i just do a re-install? |

| i think that because i have a firewire port on this computer that even tho eth1 was the right nic during the install eth0 is now the right one, i went and added it into /etc/conf.d/net and at boot up it didnt give the netmount error anymore for eth0 it just said eth0 does not exist. |

| I remember the first time I compiled and installed the linux kernel, I forgot to mount /boot, it did cost me days to figure it out that my PC keep reboot with the old kernel. Maybe you did the same. |

If you selected to compile the forcedeth driver as a module, installed the kernel and drivers, and configured /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, it should appear when you run lsmod. In that case, it should show up on ifconfig -a.
