See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap7 > Now go to File Systems and select support for the filesystems you use. > Don't compile the file system you use for the root filesystem as > module, otherwise your Gentoo system will not be able to mount > your partition. You can get away with most stuff as modules; ***BUT NOT THE ROOT FILESYSTEM***. Think about it for a minute. Gentoo reads modules off the disk. If the code for the root filesystem is a module, Gentoo would have to read the module off the disk to enable it to read the module off the disk... OOPS. This is a classic "chicken and egg" situation. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
