If you new to kernel compile and config, Dont hurry. relax~ : )
First, read the *README*[1] file in kernel source. Maybe it is already
installed at /usr/src/linux/README.('/usr/src/linux' is symbolic links
that point real kernel source directory '/usr/src/linux-yourversion')
And check 'Gentoo Handbook - Configuring Kernel'[2] for current gentoo
profile(2006.0) required kernel option(and other contents too)
[3], [4] is maybe optional. But encourage yourself reading that document. :)
When configuring kernel option in 'menuconfig' or 'xconfg'(gconfig), you
can read inline help document. Critical option(cause to boot failure) is
everywhere. Be patient and Dont hurry
Before reboot with new kernel, Keep your existing(bootable) kernel file
and bootloader config(/boot/grub.conf).
Hope to get your 'own' kernel. :)

Hi,
I'm very very new to Gentoo. I managed to squeak through a install
from the live CD, however, this gave me a kernel with little or no
ACPI support - I have a laptop, so I'd like to have this support
enabled.
However, I don't know how to rebuild the kernel, or do so enabling
ACPI support. I only know a few precious things about emerge, like
--sync, --search, and even --help, but beyond that I'm not that good
at all, and the man pages didn't offer much help for me.
I know this is a painfully elementary question, but thanks for any
help you can give!
