Hello !
I am realy a beginner at Linux, and i am trying to get Gentoo work with my
Epia Via C3 Nemiah.
I have followed the Handbook (I hope), and have looked at some Epia HOWTO's
on how to configure the kernel. (manual config)
I configured the needed devices as built in, and nothing as a

Hey Arttu!
Just a wild guess from a perl-fan: would it work if you escaped that
dollar sign with a backslash? It might move the expansion around a
bit, maybe even to the right place if you're lucky.
Tried that, unfortunately it did not have the desired effect.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Dear all,
I'm using x11-misc/slim as a login manager, and I have troubles with
loading any DE other than Xfce. I've followed the wiki entry [1], but
I must still be doing something wrong: it fails to load Fluxbox
whether I select Fluxbox or Xfce with F1.
It's actually quite funny: selecting

They only show you what udev sees, do any of your USB devices show up in
dmesg? If not, either your kernel or your hardware is broken,

Which devices?
I have a primary ide-disk on the first IDE-channel, /dev/hda when I
boot the minimal installation cd.
Is this an old CD? Modern kernels would see that
I just rembered that lilo verifies that the root-device that I use in
lilo-conf actually exists ?
So when I boot from my minimal-cd the disk is /dev/hda so if I write
/dev/sda in lilo.conf I will get an error when running lilo ?

From the handbook:
To begin, we'll introduce block devices. The most famous block device is
probably the one that represents the first drive in a Linux system, namely
/dev/sda. SCSI and Serial ATA drives are both labeled /dev/sd*; even IDE
drives are labeled /dev/sd* with the new libata framework

Yes, although you'll find that most people prefer GRUB to Lilo nowadays.
