Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I was having trouble with my desktop and couldn't get it to boot. There |
4 |
were some files on the hard drive that hadn't been included in my last |
5 |
backup that I wanted. On a lark, I took the hard drive out of my |
6 |
desktop (built by me) and put it into and old Dell Optiplex GX100 that I |
7 |
have. Yes, I know - different hardware. |
8 |
|
9 |
I booted to the Gentoo Stage 3 installation CD and pretty much followed |
10 |
all the steps that are in the Gentoo Handbook. The only things that I |
11 |
didn't do were partition the hard drive and do the section on installing |
12 |
Grub. The problem that I am having with the installation is that the |
13 |
install CD recognized my network device and the internet connection |
14 |
works fine, even in the chroot'd environment. However, when I boot from |
15 |
the hard drive, the network connection is *not* recognized. The card is |
16 |
a 3Com 905C and the driver that I am supposed to load, according to |
17 |
"Help" when I was compiling genkernel, is 3c90x. However, when I boot, |
18 |
I get an error when it comes to configuring dhcp. dmesg provides no |
19 |
help 'cause it looks like it is loading the appropriate driver. And |
20 |
before you ask - :-) I *did* do the step 'cp -L /etc/resolv.conf |
21 |
/mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf when I was supposed to. (I'm adding that |
22 |
last comment because it *was* a step I missed the first couple of times |
23 |
I installed Gentoo!) |
24 |
|
25 |
Any ideas? |
