Boot with the Gentoo install CD and the use lsmod and modinfo to build |
| 24 |
a list of what's actually loaded. That will give you a good starting |
| 25 |
point for what to choose in your kernel. If you end up building a few |
| 26 |
extras or miss one at least you'll be pretty close in my experience. |
