In case any of those people on the fest yesterday were still having problems with their nforce motherboards, heres a message I got off the dev list.

The kernel module is forcedeth. It doesn't autodetect so do a modprobe and then set up the network. It does exist on the minimalist install cd 2004.1 and I assume the others too. > Doing a mini install fest for local gentoo converts this weekend and I > see one has an nforce chipset. With the nforce chipset I needed to remove the ACPI and APIC options in the kernel. Using noapic and similar lines didn't disable the kernel. With the ACPI and APIC the machine freezes periodicly. Without those its fantastic. Keep the conversion going ;-) - - -- Daniel Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Embedded Project irc://irc.freenode.org:6667/gentoo-embedded http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-embedded http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAoCeWhhpKunZncJcRAgAZAKCml3KPKPwZHYaEznGHdYBJlPJzHgCeJ+/W yjhlKcLllEEVp4fo5r28Pok= =F4GA - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list - ------------------------------------------------------- - -- Daniel Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Embedded Project irc://irc.freenode.org:6667/gentoo-embedded http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-embedded http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFApTdshhpKunZncJcRAi04AJ4yMfakWYC0wDMLPKt4mbFDSDahwQCfS4C6 4J3Nj8oeshSgBSroAyKA3c8= =qPxO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
