All,
just to ask you if you have seen this behavior:
I have installed Gentoo (Kernel-2.4) on an ULTRA10 without major problems (there were some minor issues with KEYMAP and CONSOLEFONT, but this has been solved) from the scratch.
As my ULTRA10 is connected to a router which provides DHCP services, I decided to configure eth0 to use DHCP. So far, so fine.
When I fire up the box I can see that eth0 is being brought up during the boot process. Unfortunately if I do a ifconfig I can see there is no IP address assigned to eth0.
If I do a dhcpcd eth0 at the console prompt, eth0 gets an IP address assigned immediately.
As a workaround I added the /sbin/dhcpcd eth0 command to /etc/rc.conf. This works fine, but I assume it is not the right way to solve this DHCP issue.
I would really appreciate your help and/or advices because I'm totally new to Gentoo... 
Many thanks.

Did you put
iface_eth0="dhcp" in /etc/conf.d/net as the handbook suggested? At least that is the way it works for x86 I assume it works the same here, doesn't it?

Yes, I did, unfortunately it does not solve the problem. It is also included at the moment in the /etc/conf.d/net.

I did get this issue managed this morning. The reason was the command
iface_eth0="up" in the /etc/conf.d/net. I've commented (#) this line, did a reboot and everything worked... 
Thanks to all for reading my posting.
