 |
|
I just finished installing gentoo, but know when i boot my computer, i get the following message:
| Quote: |
* starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* network-interface eth0 does not exist
* please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
* ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start
|
my /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
|
my networkcard is a SiS900 Fast ethernet adapter. First, i thought the problem was that i didnt include it in the kernel, but now that i did, it still doesn't work (or should i include it as a module?)
When i boot the livecd and use net-setup eth0, my internet works perfectly.
Does anyone have an idea what i should do? |

Did you copy your kernel image over to /boot?
Or preferrably made a make install after compilation of the kernel?

Did you include /proc/config.gz in your kernel?
If so, what does this give:
| Code: |
zgrep SIS900 /proc/config.gz
|
We are looking for SIS900=y or =m
If m, you may need to modprobe the module if udev didn't pick it up. |

What' s that sit0 device?
Maybe that's your ethernet device?
Then you could try change /etc/conf.d/net to smt. like
or change the name within /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to eth0.

That is most likely because he set IPV6_SIT=y. It is from the IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel device and is not related to the current problem. |
