[gentoo-user] ETH0 Startup Problem

I just did a fresh install on a PC and at startup I get this:

*Starting up eth0
*   Bringing up eth0
*      dhcp
*         eth0 does not exist
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
*             "netmount" was not started.

Anyone have any ideas.  The eth0 worked on the live CD and when i do LSPCI i
can see that it see the device.

Did you build the correct module with your kernel? lsmod will show if
it's loaded. If you're not sure which one you need, run lsmod from the
live CD to see what that's using.

The livecd has 8139cp and 8139too loaded but the installed version only has
8139cp loaded, and mii also is loaded with both the network modules out to
the side of it on the live cd, and the install only has the one to the side
of it.

Thats what it was displaying so I did:

echo "8139too" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

and that fixed the problem.  Thanks Neil for the LSMOD command
