Re: [gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Brian Jones]

Hi all, and thanks, but it's still not working.

I'll have to step away from this to retain my sanity. 
I've been hacking around with it on and off all day,
and I'm very, very frustrated.

I compiled a new kernel along with some networking
modules, including winbond-840, the 3c59x module,
tulip.o, and a couple of others to try out.

What really bothers me is that I've made doubly sure
all of my files are up to date, cat /proc/pci
identifies the device, I've added an alias to
modules.d/aliases AND i386 (alias eth0 <module>),
everything seems in order.  My net.eth0 file looks
good, /etc/hosts is in order.... meanwhile, 'lsmod'
lists NO modules being used upon boot, bootup messages
indicate 'eth0: no such device', as does ifconfig, and
modprobing everything under the sun seems to do
nothing at all.

Another thing that bugs me is that I haven't had this
problem in four years - I fixed it then and I can't
fix it now!  The sysadmin's nightmare!

PS - cat /proc/ioports and cat /proc/pci all seem to
get along well with the device.  Modprobe -c shows
'alias eth0 off', but AFAIK, it'll show that since
it's a system default, even if it's overridden by an
entry in modules.conf - correct me if I'm wrong.
