[SOLVED] LiveCD Load Appropriate Modules?

Message

SteakTheMooCow · Post by **SteakTheMooCow** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 12:45 pm

Hey guys, again I'm doing something peculiar (like that's unusual).
Basically, I built a liveCD using a genkernel (as I thought that'd be best) and rolled in most of the modules for networking drivers.
I'm wondering if there's a way to detect the drivers as needed. I spoke to a friend they said genkernel could pull it off.

I'm relatively new to non-hardware specific liveCDs etc.

Could anyone be of assistance in this case?
Thanks guys

Solution:
This will run like an official Gentoo LiveCD for hardware detection. Thanks again to the Devs

Code: Select all

emerge livecd-tools
rc-update add autconfig boot

That's really a simple task.

Take a look at Gentoo-Wiki's LiveCD for Dummies tutorial. You'll learn how to install the knoppix autoconfig scripts (very easy to emerge).

Ah, I had a typo...

Ignore me lol

Thanks DAppel. I thought my error was with the kernel, apparently not

(or so it appears - we'll see on next compile)

I can't find the scripts...

hotplug + genkernel aren't loading it, trying to find it now, but if anyone has links they'd be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try :

Code: Select all

emerge hotplug coldplug dbus hal ivman hwdata autoconfig mkxf86config livecd-tools

These packages will probably solve your problem.
There are also many topics on this subject.

Add:

Code: Select all

emerge pmount

to the mix, if you intend to use newer Gnome or KDE.
BTW - is ivman really necessary?

You are right. That's not "autoconfig", it's just "autoconf"
