How to Fix Kernel?? [solved]

Ok, i finally got Gentoo up and running but fsck won't run (fsck.xfs no found) and my eth0 errors out (netmount not found ??).... i think the reason my eth0 isn't working is because i just did a genkernel all and for some reason my eth0 drivers are non-existant. Anyway, i used the vanilla-sources for a test run, now i want to switch to the ck-sources and hopefully do it the right way.

Anyone who can tell me or point me in the dir of how to compile the kernel? I have the installation manual printed out but i'm confused how i emerge the kernel, get it to use my configuration, and then compile it.

Hi,

I initially used the genkernel too but it gave scsi problems on boot. So I rebooted to the gentoo CD (again ;-)

and mounted...

and chrooted...

...back in order to not use genkernel but do it manually. Just follow the process from where you chose to use genkernel:

good luck ;-)

does the LiveCD by default reset the fstab? everytime i use the cd i have to redo my /dev/ settings because the file gets overwritten.....
