Hi can someone please help me with this.

I installed gentoo 1.4rc1 on my amd athlon xp system seemingly without a problem. When I booted the new system for the firs time the
bringing up eth0 bit reported a fail

I've tried bringing it up manually up this also reports a fail.
ifconfig just reports the localhost information and says nothing about eth0.

My NIC is a linksys LNE100TX (PCI) and I am currently using the tulip driver and have it compiled into the kernal (i.e. not as a module).

I can't work out what I'm doing wrong so could someone please point me in the right direction, Thanks

try this:
Code:
rc-update del eth0 default
then
Code:
dhcpcd eth0
sbin/ifconfig
or
Code:
wget http://www.yahoo.com

if it works type
Code:
rc-update add eth0 default


you may also want to just try restarting the eth0 device:
Code:
/etc/init.d/eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/eth0 start


This is just a preliminary procedure. If that doesn't work post more error messages.
