[gentoo-user] Help, Marvell patched sk98lin for livecd 2005.1

[Qiangning Hong]

I am installing gentoo on a new machine with an onboard Marvel 8E8053
Gigabit LAN controller.  However, LiveCD 2005.1 can not detect this
controller, both sk98lin and skge don't work.  After googling, I find
this artical http://pavuk.7gods.org/notebook.html#network and know that
I must patch the kernel and recompile it.  But the LiveCD minimal has no
gcc built in.  I tried patch and compile in my working laptop, and
insmod sk98lin.ko in the livecd environment, it tells me the kernel
versions don't match:
"2.6.12-suspend-r6 preempt PENTIUMM gcc-3.4"
versus
"2.6.12-gentoo-r6 SMP perempt 586 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3"

It seems gentoo-sources-r6 has been removed from portage currently.  How
can I do?  Or, could anyone send me a patched sk98lin.ko which is
insmod-able in LiveCD 2005.1 environment in private mail?  Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Could try the *universal* install-2005.1 CD, it includes all the sources
& ebuilds. Or the Beta-LiveCD-2005.1 with a graphical installer (don't
know if it also has the sources&ebuilds - check).
