Here's a request for the Gentoo guru's on the list (or even those who aren't
guru's, but may have seen this issue before).

I've installed Gentoo, and am able to boot into it without the install CD.
However, my network card no longer works.  So, I've searched the Gentoo
forums, FAQs, and Google - it appears I need different options in my kernel
configuration.  So, I've modified my kernel to include the network card
drivers (as opposed to using them as a module), and setup the various other
items (file system support for Reiser and DEVFS), as well as ensuring APIC
was not enabled (I saw a reference to it causing problems with the 8139too
module).

So, I then ran the command to recompile my kernel:

make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

this results in some warnings, ending with the following:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:94:1:
warning: This is the location of the previous definition
make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel
make[1]: *** [first_Rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/kernel
make: *** [_dir_kernel_] Error 2

I've searched the forums and google on this.  I did find reference to the
same issue on google (in a different language), but didn't see any reply or
resolution to the problem.

Being new at compiling a kernel, I'm sure I've missed a step somewhere.
Does anything stand out that I've done wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Shawn

(ps. I've also posted this issue to the Gentoo mailing list, but seeing as
we have our own group of Gentoo fans, I'm hoping someone local may be able
to help)
