[gentoo-user] Booted Gentoo the first time on the Arietta.G25...but...

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

I am half the happiest person this evening... ;)

With a mix of Robert Nelsons super kernel sources for
ARM boards, the Atmel bootloader modified by acmesystems
(who produces the Arietta) and the stage3 for armv5 by
Gentoo and last but no least some luck the Arietta.G25
board is now booting the kernel and (seems) to access the 
Gentoo rootfs: The stored dmesg output tells about starting
udev, so I think the rootfs is entered.

Previously I had access to the board while using the
embedian image by acmesystems.
But Shortly after the board was released embedian.org
shuts down...the project died.
And I alway want gentoo on my systems...

Now the other not-so-happy part:
I still cannot access the board. Problem is:
It does not have a real (RJ45) ethernet port.
It uses ethernet over usb which works with the
debian image. 

I configured Robert Nelsons kernel with the kernel
configuration file by acmesystems - so this part should be ok.

How can I configure Gentoo on the Arietta board 
to use ethernet-over-usb  to be started while 
booting the Arietta board?

By "replace everything eth0 with usb0" ??? ;)

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
Meino
