Hi Bruce,

compiling the kernel from your suse system is the wrong way, from my point of view.

just boot with the gentoo cd and enter the chroot environment, like you did before. now you can recompile your kernel without reinstalling gentoo.

I tried to recompile the kernel from my working system (SuSE 8.1), but no luck.

I tried to make a boot floppy during the initial creation of Gentoo, but I guess the kernel is too big, and I did not discover the boot floppy did not work until I rebooted and needed it.

It seems my only option is to reinstall Gentoo again and start over since menuconfig or genkernel wont from my working Linux. But is there another way?

FYI, I hope to make a permante switch from SuSE to Gentoo. SuSE 8.1 worked great with my dual Athlon SCSI system, but 8.2 is broken, it wont load my SCSI driver, but 8.1 did. Go figure. Gentoo did detect it and created the partitions during install.

Best Regards, Bruce
