Just because I don't want to mislead anyone, let me explain clearly what I
did:
- boot 1.0 CD
- preliminaries setting up filesystem
- unpack stage 3 tarball
- power down
- boot using 1.0_rc6 CD
- modprobe pcmcia_core, i82365, ds; cardmgr -f; dhcpcd eth0
- mount partition(s) with stage 3 tarball stuff installed, etc.
- chroot into stage 3 system
- emerge kernel source (since network now available)
- build kernel 2.4.19 using exactly the options I had used on my old
(completely functional, GNOME, X11, et al) 1.0_rc6 system (i.e. PCMCIA
completely modular, using kernel modules, etc.) and install
- configure grub to list new kernel
- emerge pcmcia-cs
- exit chrooted system, unmount, power down
- reboot into new kernel
- working networkable system
- begin emerging everything else
Another thing I should point out. Back when I was first using Gentoo (last
week and the week before) I was having problems with the pcmcia stuff in the
kernels I was building. In particular, the kernels wouldn't build unless I
enabled SMP (laptop != SMP) which I didn't want. With these SMP kernels, I
found that PCMCIA would give me the same "kernel panic" behaviour that I'm
having now!
It turns out that I needed to "make mrproper" after emerging the kernel
source. After that, I could actually build a uniprocessor kernel! Furthermore,
that uniprocessor kernel would not give me the "kernel panic" behaviour.
So perhaps this is related? The install instructions do not encourage a "make
mrproper" last I looked, but I have been doing it from here on out and haven't
encountered the same weirdness.
Regards,
matt
