It was not wrong, it's just different ways of doing things. When I have something that does not work, I find someone with it that it does work for then try to do that way. Honestly though, the only modules I have is nvidia and my hardware sensors, I made them as modules because they lock up after a while and I can reset them without rebooting.

[gentoo-user] (mostly) good news!
Hello everybody, Imagine my relief and joy when the boot process sailed past the point of no return and dropped me into my new gentoo environment on a heretofore unreachable SATA partition. What I did was, after chrooting to it, I ran pon then emerge --sync emerge -Du system emerge -Du gentoo-sources. Phew! 24 hours -- no phone! I'm now using the 2.6.14-r4 kernel. As opposed to the *r2 which didn't seem to work --the bad news Using my grub floppy I can get in but PPP balks at: ... pppd: Serial connection established pppd: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument. ... and it hangs up. The only thing that's changed is that I've modularized the PPP drivers and have to modprobe them. But all the config files: resolv, secrets etc are the same as before when I would boot the LiveCD, mount and chroot to the SATA partition /dev/sda6 which held my fully(except for the booting part) functioning OS, and from where the web was accessible via pon and PPP. So I'm still stuck as far as using web is concerned with the OS on my IDE drive where pon also works a la sudo. Here's grep =[ym] for the new kernel in case some sharp-eyed soul might see the source of my difficulty. Or even of my triumph over non-bootingness since at best I was making educated guesses about what works and what doesn't :) CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_SEMAPHORE_SLEEPERS=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_UID16=y CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP=y CONFIG_ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC=y CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE=y CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL=y CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_AUDIT=y CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT=y CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y CONFIG_PRINTK=y CONFIG_BUG=y CONFIG_BASE_FULL=y CONFIG_FUTEX=y CONFIG_EPOLL=y CONFIG_SHMEM=y CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_OBSOLETE_MODPARM=y CONFIG_KMOD=y CONFIG_X86_PC=y CONFIG_M586=y CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y CONFIG_X86_XADD=y CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY=y CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE=y CONFIG_X86_F00F_BUG=y CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16=y CONFIG_PREEMPT=y CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_MCE=y CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m CONFIG_DCDBAS=m CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y CONFIG_FLATMEM=y CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y CONFIG_MTRR=y CONFIG_SECCOMP=y CONFIG_HZ_250=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_FAKE=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=m CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_UNIX=m CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y CONFIG_IP_FIB_HASH=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y CONFIG_STANDALONE=y CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m CONFIG_CONNECTOR=m CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m CONFIG_IOSCHED_NOOP=y CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS=m CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE=m CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=m CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y CONFIG_IEEE1394=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=y CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_DUMMY=m CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_MII=m CONFIG_NET_PCI=y CONFIG_FORCEDETH=m CONFIG_S2IO=m CONFIG_PLIP=m CONFIG_PPP=m CONFIG_SLIP=m CONFIG_INPUT=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y CONFIG_SERIO=y CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y CONFIG_SERIO_LIBPS2=y CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y CONFIG_PRINTER=m CONFIG_NVRAM=m CONFIG_RTC=m CONFIG_GEN_RTC=m CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=m CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m CONFIG_I2C=m CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m CONFIG_FB=m CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=m CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=m CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=m CONFIG_FB_SOFT_CURSOR=m CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD=m CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON_DEBUG=y CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
