Towards those ends I purchased an M-audio Revolution 5.1 soundcard, as it is listed as supported under both OS X and Linux, and the onboard sound cannot handle my 5.1 speaker system. I physically installed the card, fired up OS X, installed the drivers, rebooted and tested. It works fine (as does networking). I then boot up Gentoo to test it there. My initscripts start throwing errors along the lines of "device eth0 does not exist". Networking fails. Indeed, when I try "ifconfig eth0 up" it gives the same error: "eth0 does not exist, confirm hardware and/or drivers". Well, here's my dmesg: # dmesg | grep eth0 eth0: Sun GEM (PCI) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:0a:95:8f:4c:50 eth0: Found BCM5421-K2 PHY eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex # grep /usr/src/linux/.config SUNGEM CONFIG_SUNGEM=y # lspci | grep Ethernet So where did the nic go? Could this be a conflict with the new soundcard? The nic is just the regular onboard that comes with the G5. Here is the lspci output for the soundcard: 0001:06:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24 PT/HT] PCI Multichannel Audio Controller. Of course, the bloody soundcard doesn't seem to work either, but that's an issue for after I get networking back. Any ideas here? I can post output of other commands if you think it will help (though I have to copy by hand because of the no-networking deal).
