I don't know the difference between how the Gentoo CD sets up the network modules and how it is done with RH.
Have you tried using the RH8 CD to install gentoo (just to get the networking up).? |

[I took the whole day off yesterday - B-day! - didn't even check email]
Actually, I haven't messed with RH in a while.
I can download the first ISO tonight and try it out.
I'm at work now and will try this tonight. |

|
|
I tried to boot text (no other options), and got stuck on the blue screen about initializing pci cards.
Next booted with | Code: | | linux text nomce noapic |
and got as far as selecting the CD-ROM install. The install gets stuck with the following error message: | Code: | Error
The Red Hat Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Linux CD and press OK to retry. |
I can not get past this message 
[edit]If I wait long enough I get to the same message regardless of options (at least so far).[/edit] |

|
|
As shown at http://www.wsu.edu/~ice124/, the pci=off is necessary for my ALI chipset.
Using the text pci=off options, I was prompted to test the "Psyche 8.0 disc 1".
The check passed 
(I opted not to check any additional discs.)
So, now I can boot RH8 without a problem. However, I can not figure out how to get out of the install with networking up
