I've just installed again 2004.1 (2.4.25 & server mode) with hand typed modprobe for 8139too & using online stages and it went ok. But problems start when starting 1st time gentoo linux without live cd. It doesn't start eth0 services. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo again with hand added support to netcard 2. boot 3. watch the error messages when is time to boot eth0 up Actual Results: Gentoo itself works, but without network Expected Results: Network should also works also after installation not only during installation
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8 It appears that you missed the part about running: rc-update add net.eth0 default If you did do this step, and are having an error, please REOPEN this bug with the exact error message so we can investigate further.
No it also done and I've checked it also rc-uppdate shown and net part looks like: net.eth0 | default net.lo | boot netmount | default so problem is somewhere else It gives following problem in boot: failed to bring eth0 up.. Error: Problem starting needed services. Netmount was not started. Error is same that in bug with firewire, which can be solved during installation by typing modprobe for the netcard. I also tryed to put 8139too to laud via autoload modules, but doesn't help
Do you get an error if you try to manually modprobe 8139too?
Yes there comes numerous (~10) errors like /lib/.../drivers/net8139too.o: Unresolved sumbol... ...kill_proc_R932da67e (for example) also others like: ...pci_request_regions... ...iounmap... ...register_netdev... ...request_irq... and so on
Did you compile this kernel yourself, or use genkernel? What kernel sources are you using? What version of the kernel?
I compile kernel by myself from gs-sources with 2.4.25_pre7-gss-r6 version.
Did you not include /proc filesystem support?
Closing due to no response. Feel free the reopen if needed.
Well, then... RESOLVE it with the right reason... :P
You're going to need to give us more information if you want our help.
