Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Hopefully, gmane.linux.gentoo.use will stay up long enough |
4 |
to resolve this issue. |
5 |
|
6 |
ON a i586 firewall machine I'm installing. I getting some |
7 |
trouble with initialization of the ethernet port. For now, |
8 |
I'm just setting up one ethernet interface and running |
9 |
a gentoo sources 2.6.22-r5 kernel. |
10 |
|
11 |
Neither hotplug nor coldplug are installed. Iptables and |
12 |
such are not activated at this time. |
13 |
|
14 |
So when the system boots, the realtek 10/100 ethernet card |
15 |
is not getting initialized correctly. I can manually set the |
16 |
card, using ifconfig and set the routing up so emerging additional |
17 |
software is not an issue, nor is ssh into the machine. |
18 |
|
19 |
Upon booting the ethernet does not work. /etc/conf.d/net |
20 |
is setup correctly. Here's what is echoed to the screen |
21 |
during the boot sequence: |

Hotplug is not installed (it was unmerged) |
43 |
Since the machine is a K-6 i586, I used this tarball: |
44 |
stage3-i586-2006.1.tar.bz2 |
45 |
and minimal x86 cd to bootstap the installation. |
46 |
|
47 |
Maybe this problem is a vestige of using older |
48 |
sources to perform the install.... |
49 |
|
50 |
Anyway any ideas on fixing this ethernet initialization problem |
51 |
are most welcome.... (hurry with Gmane is working!) |
