Hello.
For a friend of mine I ask you for help on a Gentoo-install on an old
computer. I already tried in alt.os.linux.gentoo, but the answer(s) didn't help.
The problem is this:
Hardware: Pentium 120 with Intel FX chipset Distribution: Gentoo 1.4
The Gentoo-boot-CD boots successful. When checking for PCI-bus the correct chipset is detected and the PIIX-driver is loaded. But when building the kernel (PIIX-chipset-driver compiled into kernel) the (very same) chipset-detection ends in a kernel panic!
As the kernel from the boot cd is working you could try to use exactly the same kernel configuration for your system (at least for a start).
As far as I remember this configuration is stored in /proc. Just look at the message on the screen after the system finished the boot process. It tell's you where you'll find the config file.
HTH, Peter
THX4help, Frank.
