 |
|
i just finished compiled my gentoo for the 1st time & the first time i booted into gentoo, i have to configure my network card(8139too). i modprobe 8139too(it's compiled as module), but they show me an error stated that no such device. any idea?
for your information, i did compiled it as part of kernel instead of module before, after some lurking on this forum about compiled it as module, i recompiled my kernel & change it to module. |

When you boot from the livecd and you enter 'lsmod" does it show
that module as loaded? Maybe it's using a different one.
look in the files in /proc or examine the output of dmesg to see what your
kernel does see |

look at the contents of /proc/interrupts when you're in livecd.
This file will show how the cards hardware is set (there are a lot
of files in this directory with very helpful hardware info).
when you boot to gentoo does it show the same?
if you hit 'insmod 8139too' does it give you an error message? |
