2004.3 live disk.. via-rhine :(

[dashnu]

It seems that the via-rhine module is broke on the live disk has anyone else experienced this?

I went back to a 2004.2 disk and it worked fine.
However I could not do a nptl install due to gettext not building.. One issue after another.

did you use a 2.6 kernel?

yes, I got it solved now.. I downloaded all the newest stages and what-not before the install.. I was trying to do it with 2004.2 disk stage1.. I think that was my issue. thanks

I lied! Somehow my make.conf was not updated and I did not do the bootstrap with nptl. I noticed this during a emerge system.

So, I than set myself up with a ssh'able live disk and from work today tried again.. But of course like Duck-Billed Platypus said I need a 2.6 kernel.

My situation

2004.3 Live disk I have no network .. via-rhine does not work.
2004.2 Default kernel is a 2.4
2004.2 smp again via-rhine does not work.

What do I do.. I always compile my nic card into my kernel so I am not sure if I am loading all the modules needed.

Code: Select all

modprobe via-rhine

do a lsmod I see it and mii I think it is but still no network.. dhcpd myself try to set up a static notta nothing.

Any ideas.
