a fine-working kernel finally. Obviously I must solve it by myself , so I |
| 6 |
determined to build entire kernel all manually , it requests a lot of linux |
| 7 |
knowlege . All for that, I hope someone could tell me where to get this |
| 8 |
information , I haven't found them on gentoo.org , so please lead me to the |
| 9 |
correct direction, thank you for you all ! |

Lots of good information has been provided by other. Here is |
| 13 |
another approach., I do not have the link handy, but you can |
| 14 |
look at the docs and there is a place that tells you (steps) |
| 15 |
how to copy the kernel that is provided on the installation |
| 16 |
cd/dvd to use an your initial boot kernel. It should work, |
| 17 |
but maybe with lots of extra stuff you do not need. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then you can use grub to have several bootable kernels, the |
| 20 |
one you actually boot off us is selected a few seconds after |
| 21 |
you power up. This way you can get your system working (bootable) |
| 22 |
and then take you time pruning the options and learning about |
| 23 |
building kernels. |

It's easy, here one of my /boot/grub/grub.conf files: |

(this one even will boot a doz, if that is installed too: |

Let me know if you have trouble finding that link for copying the |
| 55 |
kernel off of the install media to you hard drive. |
