 Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 6:41 am Post subject: Cannot get eth0 to work after LiveCD install. [Solved] |
 |
|
Hi, ok first off, i'm just about 100% new to linux!
I have followed the handbook on installing Gentoo from LiveCD (point 4 point) and after a couple of mistakes and corrections etc etc etc... eventually got the kernel compiled and Linux booted 
Just one problem... I cannot get my NIC to be recognised! I PROMISE i have been through all the documentation and tried everything I can to get eth0 to work! Just gone through the kernel again and it's in the process of recompiling.
Can anybody help me with a method or a reference to some more docs about confiuguring the NIC to work???
Please... 
This is what happens after boot:
* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp
* dhcp
* eth0 does not exist
*ERROR: Problem starting new services.
* "netmount" was not started
Not sure if that will help...

look for ethernet controller if you are trying a modem look for that.
Google or search here for the correct module name
then try
[/code]modprobe[code] and the module name
like on a G3 mac you would use [code] modprobe bmac [/code]
Hope this helps

You need to emerge pciutils if you want to run lspci.
You could boot the CD you used to install. Perform the chroot steps to get you 'on' the main system. Then emerge pciutils.
Or just boot the CD and run lspci as I'm fairly sure it will be included on the CD. |
