cfk, Did you manually compile your kernel, or use genkernel? It seems that your eth0 is not properly configured. If you compiled your kernel manually, make sure you added your network card driver. If you used genkernel, are you starting coldplug/hotplug at boot?
Another possibility is that you didn't configure your network correctly. Did you set up /etc/conf.d/net and add net.eth0 to default runlevel? --Josh Hunholz cfk wrote: >On Wednesday 11 May 2005 17:11, cfk wrote: > > >>Gentlemen: >> I have my stage 3 gentoo system booting after a little resolv.conf issue >>earlier. >> >> X-Windows is next. >> >> I tried "emerge kde" and "emerge xorg-x11", but both of them stop fairly >>quickly saying: >> >>"Couldn't download libpng-1.2.8.tar.bz2.
