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?
