Bug 288231 – [Gentoo Ten Live DVD] No internet / invalid module format (Solved)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Aniruddha 2009-10-08 18:32:37 UTC]

When I boot the 10 livedvd I have no internet. I do get lots of messages with 'failed to insert module' during boot. Restarting net.eth0 fails with the message 'eth0 no such device', 'modprobe sky2' fails with 'invalid module format'

Reproducible: Always

You need to boot with the x86-amd64-32ul image then select gentoo64 as your boot kernel, this should allow you to use the specific modules. The amd64-multilib issues are now fixed in the latest revision 10.1.

Thanks for the quick reply. When will 10.1 come out?

This didn't work, I am running the amd64 live-dvd which doesn't have these options.

That dvd is broken you need to download the x86-amd64-32ul image, the http://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0.iso
or wait for the 10.1
Sorry for the trouble, and please keep us posted.

That is strange I also have the 'livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0.iso' dvd. The checksum was good. Is there a difference between the link you posted and my iso (coming from a link on the frontpage)?
