Did type in "gentoo dopcmcia" on the boot screen?
(When you boot with the livecd, you'll get the gentoo bootsplash, by default
it will do "gentoo" and boot. But as the installation manual states, you
can enable pcmcia support by doing "dopcmcia").

When I installed gentoo on my laptop, I typed int "gentoo acpi dopcmcia
noapm" to boot the livecd.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip, it worked. And I managed to build the system.

But now I have another problem. The PCMCIA netword card is not
identified when I boot with the newly built system.

Probably I have missed some setting. Do you know what the problem may
be? How can I correct it?

Many Thanks,
Nuno.

Hi,

Did you "emerge pcmcia-cs" ?
if you did, did you "rc-update add net.eth0 default" ?
(before you do that, edit the /etc/conf.d/net script, and look over the
script to make sure your configuration is ok).

If you answer yes to both questions above,
I need to know what you see when you execute "ifconfig -a", do you have eth0
there or what do you have?

Trev.
