Go back into your kernel config and make sure the only framebuffer you've selected, module or otherwise, is vesa. No nvidia framebuffers at all. Make sure you're building agpgart (if you've included it...I never do.) as a module, not built in. Make sure you've got "truetype type1" in your use flags. Go ahead and try: emerge -uDN world && revdep-rebuild If you're still getting that checksum error...find the offending file in /usr/portage/distfiles/ and delete it and start over with the emerge.
