I've spend the most of the past 4 evenings trying to get gentoo to install on |

my PowerMac. Bone stock, 800 Quicksilver. Nothing special, nothing strange. |

Reformatted the disk and followed the PPC install handbook. |

I built the defult picked ethernet drivers as modules and also the Sun GEM |
| 7 |
module (though I don't have gigabit eth). However, after going through all |
| 8 |
that, the system boots and it does not see that it has an ethernet card. |

Before this last complete install I had the drivers build into the kernel. |

Same results. |

But when booting from the 2004.1 CDROM, it sees the network with no problem. |

Is the 2.6 kernel on ppc kinda buggy/broken? Anyone have a clue what might be |
| 16 |
the problem? |
