well all im glad to see that im not the only one to have problems with gentoo. i am using the 2.4.26-gentoo-r13 kernel, as that was what was reccomended by their documentatio n. also i did do a genkernel install. i think im going to wipe the drive and start anew with a kernel with only the things i need. i am writing a list up of all the drivers i need to just get the damn thing to work, then ill build the kernel with just that and after i have a stable working gentoo i will go and add things like a gui and such. I have been using fedora for about a year now and that install went like butter. im still running core one actually, but its just my router/firewall. all in all i was really frustrated with my laptop when i started that rant. thanks all for listning.
