You actually done the nano -w /etc/init.d/net
rc-update add net.eth0 default bits of the install? Just checking :-) -----Original Message----- From: Mark Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 August 2003 01:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] Realtek 8139 not detected at bootup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Im trying to install gentoo on a new box for a m8. While ive installed gentoo many times previously, I havent come across this particular kind of problem. The box is a Shuttle sv24 with an on-board realtek 8139 NIC. The LiveCD [with no special options passed] detects the card on IRQ11 and uses the 8139too module quite happily. The 2 USB hub's are also detected on the same IRQ. For the install, I selected both the realtek 8139too and 8139cp modules just in case. Unfortunately when booting the new install, gentoo doesnt say anything about eth0. When I manually insmod the driver or attempt to assign an IP to the device, it say's the device is unknown/not found. Looking carefully at the dmesg output however, there is a section about conflicting devices on IRQ 11 [and it lists the usb drivers loaded], so I tried disabled the usb hub in the bios [the keyb/mouse are ps2] but this didnt seem to help. The only other message that seemed to be of any relevance was 'ds: no socket driver found' - but after carefully checking the kernel options to that of 2 other gentoo boxen I have, I cant see anything obvious which could be causing the problem. Like I said, I get the impression its an IRQ-level problem as opposed to a driver-level problem, as the hardware isnt even detected, so how can a driver talk to it? For the record I have double and triple checked that the 'allow shared irq's' in menuconfig is checked :P TIA :) - -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/LakPzrmqzOOQUj8RArncAKCtmKzp5GZO7ZIk+IBaJrb3wMNPqgCgn4Wj 6S4OW0kjlJqd13QEZU1admI= =W9oL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
