[gentoo-amd64] Dual Core

2006-02-15 Thread Ryan Rice
Hello All, I have an 8-way (16 core) AMD Opteron system, running on a Tyan S4881+M4881 platform, with 64GB REG ECC RAM. Can anyone advise me on a Gentoo install path for this machine? We'd like to possibly start including Gentoo as an OS option when a customer purchases a machine. Thanks.

I'm having trouble getting my network connection configured. It's a Broadcom BCM5704C . I can 'ifconfig eth0' and have the port information come back, but it won't DHCP what so ever. Any ideas? Also, Is it possible to install Portage via CDROM rather than over the net? Thanks. God Bless,

Maybe dump the entire contents of a few commands? (ifconfig, route, ping to your gateway) If your DHCP server sees you in the table, sounds like it might not be a DHCP problem at all. On Wed, 2006-02-15 at 17:52 -0500, Ryan Rice wrote: The network did not work when the LiveCD was booted. In
