dmesg|grep eth0: alas no output

and also no link LED when I attach the ethernet cable...
 

Hmm. I double check later today when I'm back home. Will rebuild a new kernel for you to test with instructions on how to update your USB stick..

Can you download this new kernel: Download Me.

Rename  the downloaded vmlinuz-tg3 to vmlinuz.

And replace your USB's file /casper/vmlinuz with the file you've downloaded. Now boot the USB and see how it goes.

Thanks. I do not think it helped, or I must be doing something wrong.

On the Live USB stick (USB1) I replaced the vmlinuz file with the new one. Then I used USB1 to install Snakeoil on another USB stick (USB2). Wehen I boot Snakeoil from USB2 I get the same issue: no network configuration is found and it starts without IP address.

For me not a real problem as I am using Snakeoil now on a fanless PC. Running it on a mac was just for testing.

Anyway, thanks a lot for trying to make this work!

Did this ever go anywhere? I have a Mac Mini I would like to try it on. I was hoping though to not be the first to try it.

Havn't done much on Macs (since I don't have one). If you have a Mac Mini, let me know how it goes, and where the boot fails, so I can build a kernel that will work with Macs.  Thumbs Up

I ran off the USB stick and did these two tests.  Does this look good to you?

Mac Minis use Xeon CPUs?

Can you run
Code:
ifconfig
and see if your Tigon3 network card shows up?

And also 
 
Code:
lsblk
and see if it can recognise all your block devices (i.e. SSD/HDD).
