If you had not enabled framebuffer in your old kernel then I can't think how it would show up as enabled in your new kernel (as far as I know fb is not enabled by default on any kernels that I've ever built) > And there was a kernel panic because gentoo couldn't > find the boot device. Hmm ... so it's not just framebuffer but different filesystems perhaps? > =A0I'm enough of a bit-twiddler that I can set up the kernel manually. > But I know from past experience that it's a long slow process. =A0Is > there any trick to salvage "make oldconfig", before I resort to setting > up the kernel "the hard way"? =A0Here's the output from "make oldconfig" > up to where it starts asking questions... The errors you show are not show stoppers (or the new kernel would not build). You may want to update your gcc and then check using gcc-config that the latest is being used. With regards to your kernel panic I suspect an error in the .config file you copied over. Do you keep a copy both in /usr/src/linux-gentoo-XXX/ and in /boot? If yes then copy over your .config from a different location this time, otherwise you'll have to go about it through the manual method. PS. Just checking the obvious: you aren't manually patching your kernels and forgot to do it this time, right? --=20 Regards, Mick
