 |
|
I installed Gentoo from stage 1. It boots fine, but I get this error and I can't access the Internet (I use DHCP):
* Starting eth0
* ..... Bringing up eth0
* .......... dhcp
* ............... eth0 does not exist
* ERROR: Problem starting needed services
* ............... netmount was not started
I'm pretty sure I compiled everything I need into my kernel... what is causing this error? |

See if the kernel sees it:
| Code: | | dmesg | grep -i eth |
If that fails then maybe check the bus:
| Code: | | cat /proc/pci | grep -i eth |

| Code: | | dmesg | grep -i eth |
It says it's disabled.
| Code: | | cat /proc/pci | grep -i eth |
That returns information about my network card.
I messed arround with my kernel configuration and added some stuff... it's still not working... |

Ok so the problem sounds like the kernel doesn't have the right driver. What type of NIC do you have? Maybe post the /proc/pci output above if you're unsure.

This is natural, first off..
| Code: | | # rc-update del net-mount |
then make sure if you compiled your ethernet as a module and its placed in the autoload file
| Code: |
# nano /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
sk98lin (this is my module for -my- ethernet) |
this should fix your problem hopefully.

Ethernet Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller (rev 161)
What module would I need for that? |

The module will be called forcedeth. |

Thank you!
I have another problem now; I'm trying to install MySQL 4.1, but when I do emerge --pretend mysql, it wants to install MySQL 4.0. I set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~x86" in make.conf. |

MySQL has several different versions in ~x86 at the moment to get 4.1*, you'll need to emerge the absolute path to the specific ebuild.
For example:
| Code: |
emerge /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/mysql-4.1.12.ebuild
|
That should do it!  Good luck!
