Okay, I have installed Gentoo 1.4 on my notebook. I have two problems to get passed now. Be advised, I am a Gentoo newbie and it took nearly a week to get this installed all the way (on my 4th attempt I might add).
Problem 1: I screwed up on the grub.conf. I forgot to add the root (hd0,0) line. I tried to edit it but as I saved it, I was told that grub.conf was only a read file. How can I edit grub.conf? Do I need to mount something? Note, I have only used Unix and Linux for a year now. Problem 2: Though I am able to boot Gentoo after some editing the above in the grub, I now cannot get Gentoo to fully load. It freezes after starting the pcmcia. Here is what I get: Starting pcmcia cardmgr[822]: watching 2 sockets cardmgr[822]: starting, version is 3.2.4 cardmgr[822]: socket 1: 3Com 3ccfe575C71 Fast EtherLink XL cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler' cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe 3c575_cb' It stops right here and I have to reboot the computer. I know there was some discussion on Gentoo's lack of support for pcmcia but it was a bit beyond my head. Also, I still could not get my computer connected online (which probably has something to do with the above pcmcia). A newbie needs some help:( Kevin Miller, Jr., MPA, Comparative & Intl.
