 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to install Gentoo on my laptop with an USB stick.
My USB stick was made with the handbook.
After booting, I have no network. There is no net-setup or PP* on the stick, so I try to use modprobe but there is only two modules e1000 and tg3.ko.
This two modules don't work, I think I need 8139cp and 8139too but how install them ?
Thanks.
Edit: I succeed !
I simple bought a bigger USB stick (1Go), and I have copy livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso (and no gentoo minimal).
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml
Thanks for all.

How far did you get into the installation? I assume Gentoo is installed but just no network? You probably just need to recompile the kernel with the right network card support. Im a noob at this but i can try to help...
Configure the kernel
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
--Network Device Support -->
----[*]Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
----<M> RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support |
| Code: | | #make -j2 && make modules_install |
Copy it to you boot partition
| Code: | | #cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/[your kernel name here] |
(Update grub (or lilo) if needed and reboot to the new kernel.)
If it still doesnt work after reboot , try this to see if 8139cp is loaded, if not:
If its not try:
I'm not sure if this is required, but you can add the module to modules.autoload.d file
| Code: | | #nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.* |
and just add the name of the module there (8139cp).
If it still doesn't work, check to make sure eth0 is started
| Code: | | #/etc/init.d/net.eth0 status |
if not, start it
| Code: | | #/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
then make sure its added to the default runlevel:
| Code: | | #rc-update add net.eth0 default |
|

| Sorry, ive never used the live usb and i assumed you were booted into your installation. you can try net-setup to get the network going, or just modprobe 8139cp for the correct network drivers. |
