Hi everyone, Well, thanks to the help I got from the list, I finally have Gentoo installed on my new desktop and booting to a command prompt.
However, now I have a networking issue. In past, when I booted to the install CD and my ethernet connection was not active, I typed net-setup eth0 and was able to set it up. This time, when I booted to the install CD and typed net-setup eth0, the network card was not recognized. I googled and found a post where someone said that they had to 'modprobe -r broadcom' and 'modprobe -r tg3' and then 'modprobe broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3' and then, run net-setup. I did this and then ifconfig returned my eth0 connection. Of course, later you have to do the cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ .... which I did and dhcpcd has been added to my default runlevel. However, when I boot, eth0 does not start. I can start it manually by doing 'modprobe -r broadcom' and 'modprobe -r tg3' and then 'modprobe broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3' However, I would like to have my network started automatically. I do have config_eth0="dhcp" in my /etc/conf.d/net file Any suggestions? Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
