Boot problem kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r8

[Diblo_Dk]

i don't know.... how do you compile it into the kernel?

[Diblo_Dk]

oh, and yes modules-update was run afterwards.

When you are going through the menuconfig.
When you get to the network part, look for your network card, and put an M next to it.
I believe you can just chroot into the system, bring up menuconfig and compile a new kernel.

1. Boot up with the livecd.
2. mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
3. chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
4. menuconfig

Couldn't find the exact NIC, so should i try setting <M> on all 3Com, or something likke that?

Problem Solved.... minor typo..... i told it to load module: 3c95x whereas it should have been: 3c59x....

Funny how something that small can make such a big difference.

Glad to hear that you got it working. `'

Is it possible that this driver is compiled in the kernel and I still have problems to use my network interface? My system works fine from the livecd but it just doenst work once I reboot my system using my kernel.
