Gentoo on HPPA K Class

Hello All,

I am trying to install Gentoo 2005.1 on a HP K Class Server. The install media boots up fine. For the network install I want to start the network. It is possible for me to load the tulip driver and assign a network ip.

After successfully installing the network driver and assigning the IP... I am not able to ping other systems in the network, while it pings it self successfully via eth0,

... an clues,

thanks,

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures.
You'll probably have more succes here.

The general network questions first:
- network cable plugged in?
- set up the correct IP?
- set the right subnet mask?
- set routing right?

Up to now, I do not know anything about the tulip cards, but I will get a K class "soon". up to that point other people will have to help with tulip specific issues.
