1 hello,
2
3 I'm trying to install on a Gigabyte M61PM-S2. that card works well, but uses
4 some chipsets that are only supported in the latest kernels.
5
6 Network is such a chipset, it's an nvidia nForce 430 chipset that "uses" a
7 Realtek RTL8211 PHY that, apparently, does not require drivers (if I
8 understand it rignt it's the nvidia part that has drivers.
9
10 Now the problem I don't understand:
11
12 I've installed from the 2007.0 minimal install CD, using a stage 3. net-setup
13 finds the card and configures it. It says it uses the forcedeth module. And
14 it works perfectly, with fast downloads.
15
16 After compiling a kernel (I've used genkernel) and a succesful reboot I have
17 the following situation:
18
19 the forcedeth module is loaded
20 revolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net seem to be OK. They look just the same as
21 those on my other machine running Sabayon.
22 If I ping the local IP there is no problem
23 but I can't ping any computer on my network, nor can I ping my gateway
24
25 It can't be the crad itself, as it works when I use the install CD. So where
26 should I look to find the answer?
