[gentoo-user] Hardware Support for Netbook

All,
   I bought a new Toshiba T215D-S1150 with a AMD Athlon II Neo Processor.  I
am currently having issues with the livecd not booting.  Everything seems to
get stuck on an NeT RPC error while the kernel is booting.  I was able to
successfully install Ubuntu (Netbook Remix and 10.x).  From there I was able
to chroot and install Gentoo.  Upon reboot I was not able to boot the kernel
yet again.  I have chrooted back in several times and still have failed to
find the proper kernel version or configuration that will boot my system.
Any support or help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,
Aaron Bauman

The just use the Ubuntu kernel: Boot Ubuntu again, and get its kernel 
.config from /proc/config.gz like this:

cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make oldconfig

Modify as you like and build the kernel again.

I am thinking that some like cat boot/config-`uname -r` >
ubuntu_config.txt will save the Ubuntu kernel configuration.  Then you
can use its settings to configure your Gentoo kernel.

HTH.

You should post the lspci from ubuntu, so we can give some suggestions.
We're flying blind right now.
