After procede with the live cd, when i try to connect to a network i recieve a msg sayng that no ethernet adapter was found. But at the first boot, i´ve connected to the internet whithout problems. Anybody knows what happens?
Thanks

I'm affraid, you'll have to be a bit more specific

Do you know the model of your network adapter ? (probably, the module needs to be loaded)

You probably don't have the proper driver selected in the kernel. Paste the results of lspci -n to this site, and you will know exactly which driver you need. You will need to emerge -av pciutils to get lspci (if you don't already have it installed).

Blessed be!

the error on boot is this:
___________________________________________________
starting syslog-ng...
starting eth0
bringing up eth0
DHCP
network interface eth0 does not exist
Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start

but when i inicialize with the live cd the eth0 works with the driver e1000, if i´m not wrong...

According to what I saw, you need to use the sky2 driver/module. Try that.

Blessed be!
