13 This is exactly what I did. But this Makefile needs quilt. After
14 emerging quilt on my desktop this is fine.
15
16 The next problem was -mabi=apcs-gnu which is used but not supported by
17 gcc-3.4.6. Unfortunately I couldn't find out much about what this flag
18 does and means and so on, so I just commented it out and compiled the
19 kernel with `make CFLAGS_ETC=`
20 This works so far. But at the end there are a lot of warnings about
21 ixp400_eth.ko like these:
22 WARNING: "ixEthAccPortRxFreeReplenish"
23 [/root/kernel/trunk/ixp400_eth/ixp400_eth.ko] undefined!

40 I try doing it this way. My system is developed in a chroot. But you got
41 me to the idea to boot e.g. a stock debian kernel which will then boot
42 my gentoo just to be sure that my gentoo init is sane. Then I will just
43 change the kernel to the one I want.

51 I already started to describe what I did on gentoo-wiki.com. Just
52 started, so I'd be embarrassed to tell the link :)
