I did the following cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources ebuild linux-2.4.4.9.ebuild unpack cp /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources/files/2.4.4-ac9/config.bootcomp /usr/src/linux/.config cd /tmp/portage/linux-2.4.4.9/work/linux tried make xconfig (error option not found) make menuconfig (added esssolo1 and corrected stuff for ide-scsi) cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources ebuild linux-2.4.4.9.ebuild merge When I booted from the new kernel, eth0 would not start. I discovered that the procedure had added empty /etc/modules/2.4.4-ac5 for 2.4.4-ac5 but no /lib/modules/2.4.4-ac5. Only /etmodules/2.4.4-ac3 and /lib/modules/2.4.4-ac3 contain data. Since the kernel calls itself -ac5, modprobe, etc. will not use any of the modules. -- Collins Richey Denver area gentoo system
