Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Compile error on IDE Power Mac driver
I'm sorry, I mean a dhcp client, not a server, the dhcp server should already be on the network. The most popular and easiest client IMHO is dhcpcd. Like I said, emerge dhcpcd HTH Draeven Draeven wrote: Did you remember to emerge a dhcpcd server?

Also, is your NIC driver built into the kernel or a module? I have no modules at all, everything is in the kernel; lsmod returns an empty list. If it is modular, you can load it by using coldplug (emerge coldplug) or you can add the module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. I also attach my .config file, just in case. Charles Charles Trois wrote: Matti Bickel a écrit le 11/11/2005 Please check if you compiled support for tmpfs in your kernel. The option is CONFIG_TMPFS. Do NOT make this a module. This is kinda wild guess, but it sounds like you're missing kernel-support. Sorry for this late answer. Your guess was quite right and enabled me to get over that error. I then met various little problems that I was able to solve, but there remains a (hopefully) last one. The new error message is: Problem starting needed services netmount was not started. /etc/init.d/netmount start gives the same error. eth0 is not brought up and ifconfig lists only lo.
