Hmm. Lots of questions. Here's a few answers:- You probably didn't configure your kernel to build the 8139too driver. Do that and rebuild and install your kernel and you should be on line. If you need more detailed instructions, just ask.
- To install the proprietary nVidia drivers, see the Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide.
- Did you follow the The X Server Configuration HOWTO? Do you have VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES defined in /etc/make.conf? If all of that appears to be correct, please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. (Get your network working first and then install wgetpaste to make this easy.)
Punctuation is always appreciated, too.

pelargos,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You have a lot of independent problems there. Choose one any we work work on that first, If you try to fix two or more things, you will get confused and we will get confused too.
Lets start with your wired internet. It would be useful to know how you made your kernel. With genkernel, by yourself with make menuconfig or by following kernel-seeds.org?
Make sure your ethernet cable is plugged in then do the following.
We know that you need the 8139too kernel module. Thats what worked on the liveCD.
What does say on your own install?
The right answer is nothing. In Linux, commands typically are silent when they work and only show error conditions.
If that command works go on to try | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
If all is well, you with have an internet connection.
Test with USe ctrl-c to stop the ping command.
Tell us any error messages you get. Don't say some something like ... quote the messages.
Once ping works, try You will need that to tell us about the other problems.

in /etc/init.d... it says : error interface eth0 does not exist and ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module from your hardware & net.eth0 failed to start... but i re configured the kernel make menuconfig... and yes it was my fault   |

Okay, so you got your networking running, right? Then, emerge wgetpaste and post your /etc/make.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log files for us to examine. Did you make an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If so, post that too.

Could you please posts the files John R. Graham asked for?
If you don't know how to do this, you could try it like this:
| Code: | emerge wgetpaste
wgetpaste -c "cat /etc/make.conf"
wgetpaste -c "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
wgetpaste -c "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
|
Then paste links here. Otherwise we won't be able to help you.
PS: @John R. Graham I did not read you already asked for xorg.conf. Sorry!

pelargos,
I suspect you hav maje the nvidia kernel module for one kernel while you are actually using another.
What is the output of | Code: | | readlink /usr/src/linux |
Thats the kernel the kernel module will build for.
Compare the kernel version there with that fromwhich gives information about the running kernel.
The two need not be the same

Check with groups

pelargos,
Whats still broken ?
If nvidia still won't load post your dmesg output and kernel .config file from /usr/src/linux/.config.
wgetpaste is your friend.

To provide some additional detail on what NeddySeagoon is requesting, you need to use wgetpaste to provide us with some log files and your kernel .config file. Run | Code: | emerge --noreplace wgetpaste
dmesg | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config |
This should give you two short URLs which you need to post here so we can see those files. Clear?

fatal error: no screens found is like general fault failure...it can mean a lot of things. To my knowledge and limited experience, it seems the problem is related to your kernel since it can't find it. To make sure, double check your kernel I would tell you to rebuild again. From the xorg log it seems X can't find your nividia module in your kernel.
In any case, whats your emerge --info ?
