Andrew,
First, try using the LiveCD's kernel configuration since you know that works. When booted from the LiveCD, mount your Gentoo partitions, then do
mv /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config.bak cat /proc/config /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config chroot /mnt/gentoo source /etc/profile env-update cd /usr/src/linux make dep && make clean && make bzImage cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/whatever (make sure your /boot is mounted)
This worked very well to get a bootable kernel, even if it was compiled for a 386. With
LVM loaded as a module, it didn't like not being able to mount my various partitions. So, I recompiled as a 586 with LVM in the kernel and it booted very well.
I've made a copy of the working kernel and am recompiling as a K6-2/K6-3, with a lot of the devices removed that I know that I don't have. When that completes, we'll see where the smoke rises....<grin>
I've made copies of all the working config, so I can always go back to where I've been.
If this works, then you know that there was a problem with the kernel you compiled. BTW, what did you have CHOST set for in your /etc/make.conf? The default of:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
does not work with any of the K6 processors. You have to use:
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
It was set to i586.
Thanks for the help!
No problem.
