Problem installing Gentoo linux

[xdakorx]

Ok I have just finished installing gentoo from a 2nd stage I also used GLIS ( http://glis.sourceforge.net/ ) install script to install gentoo if it makes a difference anyways during boot here what problems I get.

* Loading module alsa
* Failed to load alsa

* Loading module mousedev
* Failed to load mousedev

and finally.....

/sbin/rc: line 1: ]#:command not found
* Please make sure that /etc/conf.d/net has $iface_eth0 set
/sbin/rc: line 1: ]#:command not found
* ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started.


some extra info that might help with my eth problem umm I have an onboard NIC that doesnt work because it got struck by lightning, the computer still reads it fine it just doesnt work, there is no way to disable it so i just put a PCI NIC in it as well so the computer thinks there are 2 NICs but only one works. Im not sure which one is the working one eth0 or eth1... it was odd to get networking working on the livecd nothing worked untill I ran a net-setup on both eth0 and eth1, if I ran a netsetup on just one or the other it didnt work

thanks

regarding the mouse, did you follow the gentoo instructions for what to compile into the kernel?

meaning, devfs

regarding the rc problem, have you taken a look at the script it says to modify?

regarding alsa, did you emerge alsa yet? there are alsa instructions on the gentoo web site.

Hayl no I did not I used the install script and used the default modules. Is there a way to compile them in now?

[Hayl]

recompile your kernel, following the instructions in the gentoo web site.

[xdakorx]

ill do that...ill let u know how it turns out

[xdakorx]

first I decided to fix my eth problem under the /etc/conf.d/net

i have

i_face_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"



should i change eth0 to eth1?

[Hayl]

if that is the working ethernet interface, the yes.
