[gentoo-user] problems with kernel upgrade - Intel i810 won't start
Hi, It's been a long, long, long time since I've updated any kernels but my wife's machine finally came up for review so I got started. I've built and booted 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 but unfortunately I'm having some trouble with the video driver. Note that this machine has run Gentoo for a long time but last used a 2.6.20 kernel. When starting gdm I get a text screen telling me the X server failed and showing these messages in the Xorg log file: dragonfly ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE Current Operating System: Linux dragonfly 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 #4 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 7 16:23:23 PST 2008 i686 (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Is that generally required when doing a kernel change these days? I'm pretty sure the driver I loaded was from the kernel, not from X11 so that could easily be the problem. Let me work on it. Thanks, Mark

I looked in the install documents where it explains you have to use the VIDEO_CARDS= statement and couldn't find any pointer to pages that list what video cards are supported and how to get them. Eentually I just looked at the use flags for the xorg-server package and found the i810 isn't there anymore so I tried the intel flag and now it works. It shouldn't be so random! I pity new folks coming along these days. I'm not a sys admin at all. No IT degree. Don't run a Fortune 500 company. Not a Comp Sci grad. I used to find what I was looking for pretty quickly in the Gentoo docs but it seems harder these days. Anyway, thanks SO much for pointing me in the right direction. The wife has her machine back and I can sleep tonight. Cheers, Mark
