Nothing wrong with a later version, 2.6.20-r3 is running happily here ... but YMMV 
The latest stable gentoo-sources is 2.6.19-r5, if you want a later one (i.e. an "unstable" one) | Code: | | echo 'gentoo-sources' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
and "emerge gentoo-sources" will install the source of 2.6.20-r3.
You may want to get the symbolic link /usr/src/linux changed whever you emerge a new gentoo-sources | Code: | | echo 'gentoo-sources symlink' >> /etc/portage/packages.use |
will do this for you.
If you go backwards and forwards between kernel versions, you will then have to check that the symlink is pointing to the source of the kernel you are compiling each time.

This is just the name of the directory under arch. Originally the kernel was for 80386's, then, when the 486 came out, code to run better on that was added. Now, under i386, you have everything from an 80386 to a Pentium 4, including AMDs k6, Duron and Athlon XP, WinChip, VIA Nehemiah and so on.. They are all x86 architecture bundled together under the old name.

Not the toolchain, probably /proc not mounted.
chrooting from Updating KC11 â kernel compiling for the beginner | Code: | livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd ~ # cd /
livecd / # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd / # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # env-update && source /etc/profile |
Note, you may have to change sda3 and sda1 to suit your layout.

oh of course I'm 100% sure I forgot to mount /proc because I am on the livecd because X isnt working--------->Thread:Xorg:noscreens
EDIT: thank you thats one problem solved all I had to do was boot the new kernel and it worked. Now to get X working.(Link above)
This post was not made from the livecd but in links |
