I'm having trouble getting eth0 recognized. My mobo is a Gigabyte 7VAX with integrated ethernet. Any help for a newb would be greatly appreciated.

The mobo is of the KT400 series, and according to the pretty picture on the installation guide (I have looked at the actual hardware yet) the Onboard LAN Chip is a RTL8100BL.

Ok, I did some heavy googling and found that the 8139too module does infact work for this particular chipset. So I investigated my setup and noticed that Gentoo was finding eth0 correctly when booting from the install CD. It was only after running that eth0 was dying a horrible death 
So I'll do some searching on bugs.gentoo.org and post this as an install bug if needed.

I have just got hold of the board that you are talking about and having done a modprobe on the network device I can get eth0 configured  |

Does running ifconfig kill eth0 for you? When I was installing, everything came up correctly until I ran ifconfig. When doing so, ifconfig display eth0 but then networking died. Running ifconfig again would not show eth0.
