[gentoo-user] No Terminals with kernel 2.6.0test4 on
Hi All I have the following problem. I am running the new kernel to get my serial ports(expansion card) to work. kernel 2.6.0 sets this up for me automagically. However if I start X but when I try to open a terminal I get openbox - nothing gnome - and empty terminal with no prompt The above works 100% with kernel =2.4.20. Anyone else experienced this ?

-Original Message- From: Mark Knecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 September 2003 20:43 PM snip I notice that I have other gentoo-sources installed, but /usr/src/linux is still pointing at 2.4.20-r2.

Why would this matter? gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 /snip When you have multiple sources installed you need to manage the symlink yourself. i.e change your /usr/src/linux symlink to point to gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 at the moment it's pointing to gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 recompile with the newer sources.
