I just recently installed gentoo and everything was working fine until I rebooted. First the lines appear on the screen making it hard to read, then some error shows up but I cant read it because of the lines (I could only tell its an error because its red)

Then after that goes off the top of the screen the computer continues to boot. I comes up with other messages too:

eth0 does not exist
ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started.

after i login i try emerge --sync and I get an error every time it retries :
rsync: getaddinfo: rsync.us.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(88)

anything else I emerge comes up with: Temporary failure in name resolution

and I ping www.google.com:
ping unknown how www.google.com

and my /etc/resolv.conf says:
nameserver 205.171.3.65
search domain.actdsltmp

which is mostly what is says in other systems.

Any advice anyone could give me on whats wrong would be helpful.

Post /etc/conf.d/net
did you
rc-update add net.eth0 default
Post ifconfig
good luck
if everything looks ok restart it with
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

the /etc/conf.d/net (at least the un commented stuff):
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd="release"


and ifconfig:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overrunns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

I edited the /etc/conf.d/net because it didnt say dhcp and know It sees my eth0 but it says "No loaded modules provided "dhcp" (dhcp_start)

So my question now is how do you load the modules?

What kind of card do you have?

A realtek 8110s ... i think.

Its integrated

try as root;
modprobe e100
then see if eth0 shows up
ifconfig eth0
if it does
dhcpcd eth0
or
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
what happens?

modprobe e100: "FATAL: Module e100 not found."

ifconfig "eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found"

and /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart "No loaded modules provide "dhcp" (dhcp_start)

Pretty soon here I think I may have to revert.

post as root;
We just need to find out what card you have , I was quessing about e100, sorry

My harddrive failed and I have to get a new one so I guess gentoo is out of the picture for now. Thanks for all the help but I guess i think I will go back to slackware when I get a new drive

I'm having exactly the same problem here.

/etc/conf.d/net

ifconfig

You can find some details about my HP Pavilion ze4318EA notebook here (well I guess the hardware is the same): http://www.portalis.it/tenutamontesc...318ea_fc1.html

Thanks in advance!

Try as root;

I tried it but dhcpcd doesn't return anything and eth0 still doesn't show up in ifconfig...

Edit: ifconfig eth0 returns the lines below (I think before I got device not found - but I'm not sure of that)

Edit: Ok, it's up and running, thank you so much! I hope it works after reboot...

Great
Make sure eth0 is in the defalt runlevel
all this as root
to make sure the module gets loaded add your card to;
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (use lsmod to make sure of the module)
to see if its going to work on a reboot
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

sorry to clutter your thread but i'm having the exact same problem with my 8139 card. I installed Gentoo which worked flawlessly for a couple of days until i "emerge --update --deep world" and now i get this on boot:

* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* No loaded modules provide "dhcp" (dhcp_start)

i checked if the 8130too module is loaded - it is, it's also in my default runlevel, i can't start from net.eth0 script (of course i get the same error message) but my interface goes up and the net works if i run dhcpcd.

Any idea?!

I have the exact same problem after emerge --update --newuse --deep world.

Please post a solution if you find one.
