[gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Brian Jones]

ok.  I'm doing a lot of RTFM, and I'm having lots o'
fun learning about all of this, but at the same time,
I'd like to understand why some of the things that
worked off the cd don't work now :(

Just so everyone knows, I'm running on hardware that I
started running linux on 3 1/2 years ago with no
problems.  Here's my list:

1. My NIC used the ne2k-pci module on the
gentoo-rc6-r14 CD flawlessly. I compiled winbond
support into the kernel.  I listed ne2k-pci in the
modules.autoload file.  I put an alias ne2k-pci eth0
in the aliases file.  Still, my NIC doesn't come up on
bootup, saying there's 'no such device'.  'cat
/proc/pci' shows the NIC as a Winbond ethernet
controller at IRQ 9.  ifconfig is doing nothing for
me.  I might be able to get this one eventually, but
some help would be good.  My main point of confusion
is that I built winbond support INTO the kernel, not
as a module, so there's no module to load.  That being
the case, why would the kernel detect the card, but
not the network scripts that enable it?  Hmmm...

2.  I'm getting the same error a million times while
the boot process is starting the various services:

'/etc/init.d/runscript.sh: 1: command not found'  

I also get that same one with '2:' instead of '1:' a
bunch of times.

I'll be working on this stuff, but I do appreciate the
great help I've gotten so far.  

PS - I'm not a lamer who doesn't know how to RTFM.  So
far, 'man *mod*' hasn't really worked out for me -
though I learned a lot.  If you know of a manpage
that'll help, I'll be happy to read it :)
