Ok. First things first. Whenever i try and reboot, it stalls with an error on eth0. So whenever i do complete an install, i can never reboot without cutting power. I am going to try another install today.
A few quick facts. I have a 2.4 gig celeron.I'm going to use stage3-pentium4 tarball, i am not dual booting. I will download the most recent stuff with emerge sync and emerge-webrsync
now if i am using Stage 3 Should i alter the /etc/make.conf file?
Next. what should i name the files involving the kernel? i noticed that there is a rX tag at the end of each kernel, should that be transfered over into the names of all the files involving the versions of the kernel?
Next for the manual config, what options should i check? just what is said in the guide?
Next i have a dvd/cdrom drive in cdrom1 and a cdwriter in cdrom0, i'm guessing. What type of code should i type in fstab?
Now i get an error after i install the kernel, something is corrupted, probably from the power cut. So i want to see if you can fix it.
I'll feed in more information as i get it.
edit:
oh and thanks for whatever help i get.

I'm assuming you know here that you only need to use emerge-webrsync if emerge sync doesn't work.

You can alter any of it you want, except the CHOST variable.

You can call them anything you want! It's usually helpful to have the kernel version in the name. Just make sure what you put in your grub.conf/lilo.conf is exactly the same as what you call it!

You'll also need the options that correspond to your hardware.

Something like this:
| Code: | /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0 |
(Check that actually makes sense - I'm writing this from Windows after all!)

I'll try, but you'll need to post the actual error!

When you check to make sure the source is pointing to the same symlink...
with
ls -l /usr/src/linux
it always checks out.
its linux-2.4.25-gentoo-r4 i believe. SO aslong as that checks out, i can skip that...
Im emerging gentoo-sources now.

should i add the vga statement that the Guide offers?
heres the code segment:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.25
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.4.25-gentoo root=/dev/hda3 vga=788
end segment.
Also if the kernel is -r4 i should add that?

Yeah, you need the -r4 or else you'll get a grub error 15. If your kernel has framebuffer support, then you can add the vga part. If it doesn't, you won't see anything after the kernel boots.

Ok. When i shutdown now or reboot i get an error bringing eth0 down.
the text is:
removing inet6 addresses
eth0 inet 6 del addr...
addr:: Resolver Error 0 (no error)
end
Then it freezes.
Then Nothing Ever happens and i have to cut power.
