Just because I don't want to mislead anyone, let me explain clearly what I did: - boot 1.0 CD - preliminaries setting up filesystem - unpack stage 3 tarball - power down - boot using 1.0_rc6 CD - modprobe pcmcia_core, i82365, ds; cardmgr -f; dhcpcd eth0 - mount partition(s) with stage 3 tarball stuff installed, etc. - chroot into stage 3 system - emerge kernel source (since network now available) - build kernel 2.4.19 using exactly the options I had used on my old (completely functional, GNOME, X11, et al) 1.0_rc6 system (i.e. PCMCIA completely modular, using kernel modules, etc.) and install - configure grub to list new kernel - emerge pcmcia-cs - exit chrooted system, unmount, power down - reboot into new kernel - working networkable system - begin emerging everything else Another thing I should point out. Back when I was first using Gentoo (last week and the week before) I was having problems with the pcmcia stuff in the kernels I was building. In particular, the kernels wouldn't build unless I enabled SMP (laptop != SMP) which I didn't want. With these SMP kernels, I found that PCMCIA would give me the same "kernel panic" behaviour that I'm having now! It turns out that I needed to "make mrproper" after emerging the kernel source. After that, I could actually build a uniprocessor kernel! Furthermore, that uniprocessor kernel would not give me the "kernel panic" behaviour. So perhaps this is related? The install instructions do not encourage a "make mrproper" last I looked, but I have been doing it from here on out and haven't encountered the same weirdness.
