Default LAN

I have ethernet on board of my MSI 865 PE Neo2 motherboard.
But when I do ifconfig eth0 up I get this message:"eth0: unknown
interface:No such device"

I can see the connector lamp working.

What must I do?

Google says you have an Intel 10/100 Network chip onboard. Try to load
the network driver with 'modprobe e100'. afterwards you may see with
'ifconfig' an ethernet device ...

You'll need to load the module for your ethernet card. does
'modprobe eepro100' work?
if not, please post the output of 'cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet'

Does look like an e100 is required.

Check available modules in
ls -R /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/

Do you see any LAN-related info in your dmesg ?

Maybe you could try booting with this excellent Gentoo-based rescueCD from
http://www.systemrescuecd.org/index.en.html

I did modprobe eepro100 and e100.
They gave the same error message.
Can't locate module...
They are compiled in my kernel.

Plz help...

Default Re: LAN

If they are compiled into your kernel, then there is no need for modprobe...
It means your hardware was not detected by the kernel.
Check your dmesg
Post it here if you really can't find anything you think is relevant.

If they are compiled as modules, they should be below
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/
but modprobe tells you they are not.

Did you do make bzImage modules modules_install ?
Are you running the kernel you built ?

Compare ls -l /lib/modules
with uname -r
Do you see the same kernel version ?

Idd they are not.

I followed the man of gentoo for installing a kernel.

Yes, I rebooted

Last rule: build => /usr/src/linux/2.4.20-gentoo-r6
I believe this is correct...
