Gentoo is saying it can't start your network interface. Please post the output of "dmesg | grep eth0", so we can further diagnose your problem.

Sounds like you don't have support compiled for your NIC?

Select your network card under "Network device support" in your kernel configuration.

I have the same problem...

I'm pretty sure I've compiled the right module and placed it in /etc/modules.autoload. During the boot process, it says it's loading the module and then [ok]. dmesg says nothing bad about the card:

"Linux Kernel Cardservices 3.1.22
options [pci] [cardbus] [pm]"
But I also have the line:
"ds: no socket drivers loaded!"

The only other thing that appears to be a problem is:
"spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ 7"I checked /etc/init.d/netmount and /etc/conf.d/net to see if I could see any problems there, but there doesn't seem to be.

I'll try compiling it directly into the kernel and see what happens...

Guest, to get back to a point where you can recompile the kernel, check out https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=5317.

I tried to check everything in Network device support but it still doesnt work :cry:

I've been messing about with different kernels, different options and combinations of modules and compiled in card support.

I thought to myself, wait, I had this working before, I downloaded the system and everything. So I went back to the initial install instructions, where I typed code listing 3:

D-Link DFE-538TX Fast Ethernet

Kernel 2.4

NIC directly into the kernel

It worked in the first part of installation

I got mine working...I didn't have the i82365 support compiled into the kernel, and since I'm using an older laptop with that bridge, I needed it. All is working now....at least on that end of things.

You may want to try that - it's under one of the networking config trees. There's a couple of other modules there that might work for your card/chipset.

I still haven't figured out what ds.o does or from whence it comes...

I am installing Gentoo 1.2 on a laptop.

I am using a 3c589C network card. PCMCIA
I have compiled both the network card and PCMCIA into the kernel.
I have also included support for the i82365 bridge.
I have gotten to the point where the base system is completely installed so the card has worked in the past. I have tried loading the drivers as modules in the past with no success.
dmesg | grep eth0 gives a blank result. The only boot errors I am seeing are with ACPI. ACPI_load_tables: Could not get RSDP, AE_ERRPR. and a following error that states that the tables could not be loaded. I don't think this error would effect the network card. I am not seeing this error that others have reported, "ds: no socket drivers loaded!". Cardbus is being successfully loaded. PCI detection succeeds without a problem.

Anyone have any suggestions? :?:

Coupla' questions, this isn't the same problem I had, but the same hardware...
Do you boot with the card already inserted?
What response do you get from cardmgr -f?
Did you emerge pcmcia-cs?

Also, I know others have had issues with ACPI, so you may want to try making an second kernel without ACPI support and seeing if that works.
