Hi
This is certainly because you haven't loaded your network card driver at
boot time. Be sure you have entered your driver name ( I am not sure maybe
it's 8029too) at file /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. You can use nano
text editor to edit the file...

Subject: [gentoo-user] eth0 does not exist
Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2006 16:27:48 +0000
Hi Folks,
Very new to Gentoo, although not to Linux. I'm trying it out in QEMU,
and have just completed the installation. Only problem is I can't seem
to connect to the internet. QEMU is basically meant to provide an
emulated network card to the OS it's hosting. Works fine for the install
CD. Anyway, seeing as I was very new to the whole thing, I went with the
genkernel option. As I say, everything seems to boot fine, except that I
get this message:
Starting eth0
Bringing up eth0
dhcp
eth0 does not exist
ERROR: problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started
I've tried /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and /etc/init.d/netmount start and
they both complain that eth0 doesn't exist. But if I do lspci I see my
emulated network card right there:
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8029(AS)
Can anyone help out? Am I just missing a kernel module?
