Im trying to install gentoo on a new box for a m8. While ive installed gentoo
many times previously, I havent come across this particular kind of problem.
The box is a Shuttle sv24 with an on-board realtek 8139 NIC. The LiveCD [with
no special options passed] detects the card on IRQ11 and uses the 8139too
module quite happily. The 2 USB hub's are also detected on the same IRQ.
For the install, I selected both the realtek 8139too and 8139cp modules just
in case. Unfortunately when booting the new install, gentoo doesnt say
anything about eth0. When I manually insmod the driver or attempt to assign
an IP to the device, it say's the device is unknown/not found.
Looking carefully at the dmesg output however, there is a section about
conflicting devices on IRQ 11 [and it lists the usb drivers loaded], so I
tried disabled the usb hub in the bios [the keyb/mouse are ps2] but this
didnt seem to help.
The only other message that seemed to be of any relevance was 'ds: no socket
driver found' - but after carefully checking the kernel options to that of 2
other gentoo boxen I have, I cant see anything obvious which could be causing
the problem.
Like I said, I get the impression its an IRQ-level problem as opposed to a
driver-level problem, as the hardware isnt even detected, so how can a driver
talk to it? For the record I have double and triple checked that the 'allow
shared irq's' in menuconfig is checked :P
TIA :)
