I'm running out of ideas :( I'd compile exactly the same kernel as in LiveCD (boot from LiveCD, mount the disk, cp /proc/config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config, make oldconfig with leaving everything u can out, especially grsecurity, iptables, advanced network options, weird hardware support etc., u know the drill :) ) When I had the very same problem with SiS900 card, the one i solved with leaving out the apic support, I've removed every option at 'general setup' and 'prosessor type' that was not crucial for the boot and then added them one by one. Took me two days. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Giangrande" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 10:00 PM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Network Card Problems
