Message-ID: <445A193F.90603@b2b2c.ca> (raw)

hello,

i used the amd64 2006.0 universal install with genkernel. can't believe 
i actually got grub installed! i'm coming from slack and lilo. hardware 
is a hp compaq nx 6125 turion64, ati chipset, laptop. there were a 
couple of problems,

1. when i tried to emerge pcmcia-cs there was a problem with the 
genkernel, something about 'in kernel ...'

2. acpi seems to be flakey. hasn't froze yet though. the laptop seems 
slow. cpuinfo in /proc says 797 mhz? maybe it's throttled for battery 
when it's on ac power? it's a turion ml-37, 2ghz!

3. really not getting this emerge thing. installing precompiled packages 
for amd64. updated emerge to look in /mnt/cdrom as per install 
instructions (networkless) did 'emerge alsa-lib' something happened for 
a long time. it looked like it installed alsa-utils as well but i get 
nothing for commands 'alsamixer' 'alsasetup' no asound dir in /dev??? 
after that i'm reluctant to go near anything related to X11.

thanks.
