Sony_Vaio_VGN-S580/Gentoo_2006.0_LiveCD_installer_workarounds

Symptom:

• Gnome Gentoo gui installer will not work at the last step (hands) unless you have live network connection. Even if you do not need/use it. And after Live CD boot, there is no live network connection. This is because eth1394 is loaded as default eth0, before e100 and ipw2200.

Problem:

• bug: 132775

Workaround:

• connect notebook to LAN
• reload e100 as eth0

How to verify:

• on the "networking" step in the installer wizard eth0 will show up as e100
• and it will also show checkbox "network is already configured"

Code: reload e100 as eth0

 rmmod eth1394 sbp2 ohci1394  ieee1394 
 rmmod e100
 modprobe e100
