Hi guys!
I just installed gentoo following handbook instructions. Everything went fine but once i boot from hard drive i get the following error messages.
<<<
1.
No DHCP client installed
ERROR: Problem starting needed service net.eth0
netmount was not started

2.
Failed to load 3c59x

3.
Use "modules-update force" to force (re)generation
>>>
I tried to fix problem 1 by doing the following "emerge dhcp" after reboot didnt help.

tried to fix problem 3 by typing: "modules-update force" and still get this error.

Also My internet not working after i rebooted.

Please help me guys.

If you did "emerge dhcp" you should have a client installed.

Try reinstalling baselayout (do "emerge baselayout --oneshot" as root)

edit: And the "sudo" command failed because you don't have it installed. What you should do for the other stuff is log in as root (or use "su") then on every command that the other guy used "sudo" on simply remove that word from the command

chroot in livecd, then emerge dhcpcd and then in your system add in /etc/conf.d/local.start this line:
