Kevin- Here's a copy of a post I nade on the Gentoo forums about a basic method for getting 2.6 working. I realize your problem is mainly the "config" part. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been downloading from kernel.org, and getting mm patches for each 2.6 version, with excellent results. Here's my method, for 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. I never compile as root in /usr/src anymore. I made a /home/wrc/kernel directory, and untar there, then cd as user to the linux-2.6.0-testx directory, and do a normal: (Optional: apply mm patch (or others I might wish to try) make mrproper make xconfig (Optional: after xconfig, edit Makefile cflags and console output for 2.6. They have compile output "silent" by default. I'll post my edits if anyone wishes) make clean make bzImage make modules THEN SU TO ROOT make modules_install mount /boot cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux-2.6.0-testx-mmx (I use no System.map, or initrd) Edit grub with nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf and add your new kernel stanza to grub.conf, then reboot to new kernel. Works for me every time, with no problems whatsoever. I've had mixed results with genkernel, and any Gentoo kernels, so I've settled on the above "method of choice." I do however, run very lean systems, and others might need support for scsi, drivers, etc that I don't use. But for the basics, this works very well, and never touches your working setup. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
