This is a debugging message. It is harmless although it indicates something that should be fixed. This is normal for the mm-sources kernels as it is a development series. > Is stuff like this expected? I presume it might go away if I switch to > a different 2.6 build, but should I report this? Well, it will go away if you switch to an ebuild for a different kernel series (development-sources). If you can isolate what subsystem is producing the message than you should report it to the kernel developers. This is not really a Gentoo issue. > 2) After booting and logging in, I cannot start X.

Not sure exactly what the problem is but make sure you have agp compiled into the kernel with appropriate support for your chipset. If built as modules (main agpgart and the chipset specific one) make sure they are loading up. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
