[gentoo-dev] alt install problem

[ioda 01]

thank u for taking the time to read my little problem :)

i am installing gentoo on my laptop from an existing linux (redhat)the cdrom 
will not work ,acting crazy )


this is what i did created 3 partitions for redhat (minimum install ,just 
enough for me to get online and download the tar and gunzip it ),and created 
also 3 partitions for gentoo on the same hard drive
i take over from chapter 7 "mount partitions" since i have the partitions 
already created .
everythin works out very smooth till i get to grub:

grub> root (hd0,5)
  and it loads both roots (i am not sure this is part of my problem since my 
problem is eth0 refuses to load up )

i do nano -w /etc/conf.d/net and uncomment dhcp (i've learned a little bit 
since i am using it on my desktop also ,yet i am still a newbie :)  )
and i make sure i compile the right eth0 while compiling the kernel
in my case i have 3CN3AC ( During MAKE MENUCONFIG i pick the one that has   
III at the end  (i used it with slackware and it worked ,while with redhat u 
dont know what the hell is going on :))

i do #/sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information:device not found
and after i load up i get failed to laod eth0

i did this twice so i guess i am making the same mistake ,please ask me any 
question  and i will reply witht he answers
thank u for taking the time to read my sad story and GOD BLESS!!

p.s. everythin else looks just fine i mean it boots in to gentoo without any 
otehr problem  beside the eth0 problem
i am using cable modem ...
