I have Gentoo installed form the live cd and everything is working but I want to upgrade from 2.6.17.gentoo-r7 to 2.6.24.gentoo-r4 but these are the problems I'm having:
I used "genkernel all" to set up my kernel for 2.6.24.gentoo-r4
My network card disappears and it says it can't be found but when I do lspci it shows its here, here is lcpci:

(I have solved the network LAN card problem. I put in my own network card and just copied the old "/etc/init.d/net.eth0" to "/etc/init.d/net.eth1", as it was showing with "ifconfig -a". This solved the network card problem. )
Also I'm trying to set up my nVidia card but when I follow the setup guides nothing is working, for example:
When I follow the guide at: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Xorg I get
| Code: | Proxemics kevinbmonette # emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings; eselect opengl set nvidia
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "nvidia-kernel".
Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done
Proxemics kevinbmonette # emerge --pretend nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I also used "X -configure" to set up my Xorg-server
This is where I'm stuck at and I can't move on to find other problems until I get these solved.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hmm, for the network, make sure the forcedeth driver is enabled in the kernel (I don't touch genkernel, so I don't have any other advice there).
For nvidia-drivers, make sure that when you install it, that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the kernel sources of the kernel you intend to run (most likely, this is what you're currently running when you do "uname -a"). If this symlink isn't correct, the module will be built for the wrong kernel. |
