Gentoo!

Okay compiling at the moment. For some reason the network card drives weren't checked any more...

I have a nasty feeling I wasn't compiling it right before.
 
Whoa whoa whoa wait! You forgot the bra!

i think mpemba needs sleep, that or i do, because i completely didnt get that.

anyway hopefully with the drivers acctually in there it will work.

Any word from deadly ferret?

Weird Science? No? No word from Deadly, I'm not worried about him, he's smarter than he makes out to be :p
 
I know have set up hardware 3d for x, and setup my nvidia card properly, and have X set up :)

Just need to sort out KDE, then ill be plain sailing, well that and a lot of tweaking to do, but hey, i have a gentoo stage1 setup system running first time :)

Thanks for all the help lads :)
 
Damn, still no change. I've recompiled with the drivers definatley in there, copied the compiled kernel over and I'm still getting the same error:(.

*******, hardware 3d :mad:. rest assured ATi aren't getting my money next time.

once you have KDE installed and all the apps you want installed, read the prelinking doc on gentoo ;)

I have an idea as to what the problem might be. According to the gentoo.org guide on installing Gnome, xscreensaver should be emerged, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the hard disk, and isn't on the packages CD. Unfortunately, I've been working from the liveCD and so I never bothered to setup networking. I am therefore unable to get it unless I set it up and pull it from the internet, but I can't be bothered to do that this evening.

I'm getting irritated with things now. This installation has been going on for two days on and off. Oh it's not linux's fault, it's mine for trying to make Gentoo my first real distro. I thought I'd go in deep because that's the best way to learn, but two days to install an OS is a bit much. :(

With luck I'll feel more enthusiastic tomorrow. Thanks for asking after me, it's a nice feeling to think that there are people who care how this goes. :)

Problem is, being smart and being capable are two different things. I'm not really capable of much more than following instructions. :D

thats the thing about gentoo. As is now getting really obvious with burns. It takes ages and is hard, but you learn a huge amount.

i would say it take 3 or 4 installs of gentoo before you realise everything you need to do and get it installed the ideal way. its only helping you lot that i realised i should have put my /home on a seperate partition.

however even if you now went back to mandrake or something, you have learnt how to compile a kernel, and use shell commands. so you are much more capable than when you started.

i would stick with it though.

on with the help:
xscreensaver isnt required, it will just mean that you wont have screensavers until you emerge it.

have you checked that Gnome is in you X sessions folder as the gentoo docs say to check?

Now that means that you have done something different from your first kernel asides from change to the tulip driver.

edit: reiserfs enabled in the kernel?
You did make a backup of your .config to /tmp before doing make mrproper right? and then copy it back over to /usr/src?
