Try this as a fast check on things... RH is using 2.4.18 and your gentoo |
| 12 |
2.4.20. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1) Go to your gentoo install to the /usr/src/linux and run "make mrproper" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2) take the .config from the RH kernel directory and place it in the |
| 17 |
/usr/src/linux on gentoo then run "make oldconfig" and hit enter on any and |
| 18 |
all prompts you get. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
3) Then run "make menuconfig" and exit saving changes (this is optional but |
| 21 |
always gives me warm fuzzies :) ) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
4) make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
5) copy over your System.map and bzImage files to your /boot and reboot |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
6) try your test again. |

This isn't completely apples to apples but it's as close as your going to get |
| 30 |
with maintaining the same kernel versions. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'd be interested in seeing your test results from gs-sources as well. |
