Re: [gentoo-user] 2006.1 livecd amd64 and rtl8111/8168B network card
Ok, i've solved all the issues installing from the small-gentoo amd64 r6 ISO cd it contains a bleeding edge 2.6.20 rc(something) kernel (useful also if one has issues with the JMicron PATA controller) cheers, m On 1/30/07, Dan Farrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:08:20 +0300 Andrew Gaydenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok that's fine. however i'll have to install gentoo without the nice gentoo graphical linux installer, is it right? nice ??? ; ) I think you might be able to get a binary from realtek that supports the 2.6 kernels. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] 2006.1 livecd amd64 and rtl8111/8168B network card
Hi list, i would like to install gentoo on a new Asus P5B motherboard which have a RTL8111/8168B PCI express network chipset. I'm using the 2006.1 amd64 livecd but unfortunately the network card is not recognized. Does anyone has experience with this type of chipset and Gentoo?

Hi Andrew, Last kernels does support this LAN chipset (r8169 module). ok that's fine. however i'll have to install gentoo without the nice gentoo graphical linux installer, is it right? regards, m -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] 2006.1 liveCD
Hello, Since I've got to install a web server on an older machine (PIII) and this web pages suggest that 2006.1 will be released in August, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/ I thought I'd ask if anybody can point me to an early release or testing release of 2006.1 liveCD or just a guess as to a date.

Releases are not very important for Gentoo, if you have a live internet connection (which is not REQUIRED, but will make your system a lot more useful with Gentoo) after the whole process you'll get the latest Gentoo anyway. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

After gcc-3.4.6 was supposedly upgraded I started running into packages that didn't rebuild correctly even though I *thought* I had followed the gcc upgrade wiki faithfully. In the end I gave up and rubuilt the machine from scratch. Probably took me longer but now it's working well. So beyond 5 hours, it's the confidence starting out that when you get done it's going to be successful. This experience tested my faith a bit. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
