Hi |
2 |
|
3 |
Thanks for so quick and kind response. |
4 |
I also had an e-mail from another person in the mailing list, |
5 |
who suggested me to really reboot with my new kernel rather than |
6 |
simply CHROOTing and checking what was available under /dev... |
7 |
|
8 |
Indeed, the /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 appeared and was operational when I |
9 |
really rebooted Gentoo from my hard disk. |
10 |
|
11 |
But I now face other difficulties. I do not have any eth0 available, even the |
12 |
cable link one (I also have WiFi, but expected to configure this later). Just |
13 |
'lo' appears in ifconfig... |
14 |
I tried 'genkernel all' (rather than 'make menuconfig / make / make |
15 |
modules_install'), but eth0 is not recognized anymore; although the |
16 |
'universal install' CD does (I really wonder how its kernel is built ;-)... |
17 |
|
18 |
I think I will give up and move to a Suze with 2.6.x kernel since I did not |
19 |
expect to spend a full week having an operational Linux on my machine. |
20 |
- I think I will backup what I've done with Gentoo and come back to it later |
21 |
on... - |
22 |
|
23 |
Anyway, thanks again for your help. |
