I have an ABIT AV8 motherboard with integrated VIA Velocity network controller. I just installed 2005.0 stage 3 with all the regular defaults from the manual, except that I wanted to be lazy and use genkernel. I discovered that genkernel does not properly set the via_velocity module to "m" in the default config. Changing the /etc/kernels/kernel-2.6.9-r14.config file and setting it to "m" fixed the problem for me, but you might want to fix this in next release of genkernel just in case. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Sorry, I haven't built in X windows yet to be able to paste emerge info.
Chris; any reason not to add this?
Go for it... You might want to take the defaults we used for 2005.0, rather than adding each item one at a time.
This was a module in 2.6.11-r6 but now it isn't in 2.6.11-r7.
It is definitely in the config that is now in CVS and will be in genkernel 3.2.0 when it is released
_pre9 in Portage, closing bug as fixed.
