Gentoo again
I did what I should have done in the first place - RTFM - and realised where I’d gone wrong with the kernel configuration (hopefully) in that the default config had the wrong processor family - now changed to K6/K6-II/K6-III. I also added ext3 journalling, and bluetooth subsystem support for good measure.
The kernel is compiling as I type - sure it won’t all be right, but I hope at least to get the system to boot.
Things I probably missed - I left networking alone so it might not find my card, and I left USB untouched too, so it might not find my Belkin bluetooth dongle. I didn’t want to tinker too much at this point as I could have made things worse by mistake.
<time passes… />
Kernel’s compiled - bugger- still not working.
Might be having to ask for help. Let’s have a look on the forum first like a good noob.
