Good timing of yours, I just wanted to boast a bit about getting to the |
| 8 |
bottom of the problem myself (after I leaving the machine alone for two |
| 9 |
hours to get a fresh mental start on things). ;-) |

It seems that booting from the "Minimal" CD indeed maps two FireWire |
| 12 |
devices first. The mainboard's IEEE 1394 becomes attached to eth0, and |
| 13 |
eth1 is the FireWire port of a SB Audigy card. The network controller is |
| 14 |
available as eth2 after loading the modules, which I didn't expect. %-P |

I have since installed Gentoo 2006.0, compiled my own kernel and ten |
| 17 |
minutes ago the machine properly booted for the first time with the |
| 18 |
Yukon controller as eth0. Hooray! I've started "emerge --update --deep |
| 19 |
world", and when it is finished, I'll try to figure out exactly which |
| 20 |
modules can be used to access the network controller (sk98lin, skge or |
| 21 |
sky2). |
