1 hi: since I used to install Gentoo through a Universal CD on x86, there's
2 no need to prepare a network connection before my own kernel is ready, as
3 to livecd2008, network has to be configured to download a stage3 tarball, I
4 started my livecd in vmware server, lspci shows my card is :
5 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]
6 (rev 10)
7
8 somehow, loading the module results in error as follow:
9 SQUASHFS error: zlib_inflate returned unexpected result 0xfffffffb,
10 srclength 131072, avail_in 722, avail_out 0
11 SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xb2d0
12 SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [2ca5fcb]
13 SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 2ca5fcb, size e307
14 WARNING: Cound not read
15 '/lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko': Input/output
16 error
17 SQUASHFS error: zlib_inflate returned unexpected result 0xfffffffd,
18 srclength 131072, avail_in 0, avail_out 4481
19 SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xb24a
20 SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 2c89c32, size 8c67
21 Module len 131072 truncated
22 FATEL: Error inserting pcnet32
23 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.ko): Invalid
24 module format
25
26 seems the module is invalid, but how this could happen? why the card is not
27 configured automatically by the livecd?
28
29 uname -a returns:
30
31 Linux livecd 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 18:36:15 UTC 2008 i686
32 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
33
34 any clue for the error?
35
36 thanks
