hello, i solved my eth0 problem like so: ifconfig eth0 up
modprobe tulip
dhcpcd eth0
and now it works
next i emerged and configured x
next step: emerge nvidia-glx
error: no mtrr in kernel -> recompiled kernel with mtrr support
rebooted
again emerge nvidia-glx -> still get error of no mtrr in kernel.

Anyone idea to solve this ? Do i need something else in kernel ?
tx

You need to use mtrr in the kernel. Just read the error message, and you will know what to do. You have to recompile the kernel.

Check the boot partition to see if you *really* put the new kernel there.

Most people tend to use the old kernel. Check the /boot dir, look for new file. Mount the /boot dir, check for old/new file (ls -l, check timestamp).

After you do that, your new kernel is compiled, but hasn't replaced the one in /boot. Mount /boot if it isn't already and then ...

Code:
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

Don't forget to save the old kernel!!!!
'cp /boot/zImage /boot/bzImage.old'
This can save you a _lot_ of time

No

after the kernel is finished you will need to copy the new kernel to the boot partition.

mount /boot
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-new

modify you grup or lilo conf to take use the new image.
