Did you just upgrade from 2.4.xx to 2.6.x?
Make sure you have a current version of the modules-init-tools-package (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes) or even better compile the stuff you need directly into the kernel, at least the modules-loading errors will disappear; if it's a hardware thing your kernel would give you a message about failing, I guess.
Sorry, I don't know what errornr. -1 means..

Did you remove the filter-flags option from the ebuild? I get similar errors when compiling xfree with -fPIC option... Could that be the reason?

Otherwise I don't know, bu it most likely has something to do with your cflags...

ok Ill take a look at this. Yea, im running 2.6, and i think almost all of my modules are compiled into the kernel. But which cfflags are you talking about?? maybe give me a example, mine is the standard -omit-frame-pointer i think. Thanks so much for all your help guys
