I tried to install gentoo 1.4-p4 on my new notebook (Clevo D400V). It has hardware detection problems, so I used the boot kernel:
gentoo noapm nodetect nohotplug noraid nousb
:)
(tried acpi=no too)
It works fine, it boots, and I've the shell prompt. Next step is to bring up ethernet connection. The notebook has a Realtek Gigabit ethernet card, so I've loaded the proper module:
modprobe r8169
The module is loaded with warnings.
It's neccessery for me to overwrite the hardware address, so I've eth0 down, overwrite hw address, and the following:
Two tries: First: dhcp connection (Working under WinXp, same machine) - nothing Second: give the proper IP and route settings - eth0 up, seems functioning.
But: No ping pocket leaves my machine, I cannot see any network. It seems they just disappear.
I am very helpless at this point. What can I do? I've zipped and attached the most output I have, hope it helps.

ps: I've installed gentoo many times on many machine, only my notebook doesn't want to get it :((
