I am in the process of installing on another computer at the moment which has this via_rhine network interface. I will not start normally without a solution I have found on the net. At least this worked for the liveCD installation stage. It is issuing acpi=off and noapic to the kernel. Now it is booted into the 'real' kernel and I gave it these options before boot;
grub.conf kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.15-ck-1 root=/dev/hda3 acpi=off noapic but still the adapter won't work anymore. What could be the reason. It shows the same symptoms as before, ifconfig eth0 will show the device properly configured but trying to add a route will fail. Please help.. KArsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
