I have compiled some things into my kernel but i can't get the desired effect.

You didn't compile the kernel! I don't know how to compile a 2.4 kernel, unfortunately. I don't know why you'd want to use one, either, so here are some directions for the 2.6 kernels;

emerge gentoo-dev-sources # getting the 2.6 kernel
rm -f /usr/src/linux # removing old symlink
<create new symlink here>
cd /usr/src/linux # cd to new kernel
make menuconfig # configure your kernel here
make && make modules_install # actually compiling it
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.8-gentoo-r3

Update your grun.conf and reboot.

So, i installed kernel 2.6.8, edited my lilo.conf and rebooted.
Still no ntfs or samba support (and yes, i compiled them both into the kernel.

Does somebody have any directions that i might follow at this point? I feel kind of lost, this kernel business just doesn't seem to work for me:(
