A couple of weeks ago my ten year-old(ish) server box died. I've wanted to replace it for a long time, and last week we finally did. We took it to our local computer shop to have a new hard drive installed, as the old one used an IDE hard drive and the new PC's motherboard doesn't support that. The tech cloned the IDE drive onto a SATA drive and installed the new SATA. We got it back this morning. I've re-built the kernel several times over the past few hours, and I cannot get net.eth0 to work when not booting from the livecd. I've got the error message, lspci and lsmod from the last boot off the hard drive (though I had to boot with the livecd in order to copy it to my main PC to send it to you). The error message is:
* Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * 192.168.1.2 * network interface eth0 does not exist * Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ] The old box used 8139too, but e1000 is what I use on my newer machines. I modprobed it, and still the error message didn't change.

If there's any other information you need from me in order to help me get this working, let me know. The kernel is Linux 2.6.29-gentoo-r5, the same one as on the livecd I'm using. I'm also using the livecd's kernel config. I just can't figure out why it's not working, since it works when I boot with the livecd...
