Description D. Miles 2004-04-27 22:14:41 UTC
Downloaded and burned 2004.1 ISO from one of your mirrors. The initial boot up and hardware auto detection went along fine until it failed to detect my ethernet card. I have tried this on three machines. The first being a virtual PC running on a Mac and the other two Pentium based PC's. Detection failed on all three. Manual setup (DHCP) also failed. 

Note: ISO from Gentoo (minimum install) 2004.0 works fine on all three machines and detects the cards properly. So the fault is in 2004.1 only.

Experienced the same problem. On my laptop, an HP nc8000, the firewire was detected as eth0, not the onboard Broadcom NIC. This explains why manual configuration of eth0 still fails to work. I manually brought up eth1, the Broadcom nic after modprobing tg3 and DHCP works fine, I'm online. May be confusing for some first time users though and I'm not totally convinced this isn't a hardware issue.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
