Hey, I just ran an emerge -uDa world and remoed the ppp scripts because i figured I never used it. I also updated my kernel, since then I updated nvidia drivers to the new version as well and my xine-lib stopped bieng able to play audio, i can no longer display a framebufer console, but most worrying is that I couldn't connect to the net at home, I already registered my NIC adress with uc davis and they use dchp but i have no clue where to start or if I am setting it up right if it is infact failing because of whatever was broken before with my ADSL connection at home.

Have you done module-rebuild populate and then module-rebuild rebuild after recompileing kernel ?
Use module-rebuild for this.
Make sure you have fb-support in your kernel: vesa or vesa-tng

I think the vesa's not working because i updated to the unstable nvidia drivers, but i can't tell because I cleaned out my distfiles between now and when i updated the drivers and I don't have net to downgrade now, I'ma try switching to my old bzImage tho to clean up some of the mess, I stil cant read any boot up errors i'm getting because I can't see them. Does anyone know where portage looks for the files to download for the old nvidia drivers so I can try switchin back? |

Assuming you're talking about the 9625 Nvidia drivers, vesa framebuffer was un-affected on my system.
Can you try bringing the network up from the command line. What output does it display? |

I just fied it temporarely by going back to the old kernel, and re-symlinking, then re-emerged the drivers and everythings working fine.
However, I think i was stupid about it and forgot to emerge a dhcp client..
