Subject: [gentoo-amd64] kernel config file for A8N-SLI Premium

1 I have a nice new A8N-SLI Premium system and I have two problems with it.
2 The second problem I have is that ntpd fails with the error:

14 I had used the /etc/ntp.conf file from my working amd64 system so I was
15 surprised by this. So I decided to work on my first problem which is that
16 I can not build a bootable genkernel image on the new system. I have
17 started to wonder if some recent version of genkernel or my new 2006.0
18 profile has caused the problem. In short, if I boot a genkernel image
19 it always fails when it tries to swap to the /newroot mount point. Most
20 recently this is what happens with linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r7. Actually, the
21 genkernel images do not always fail. I have one linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r5
22 image that works perfectly. But any attempt to move the -r5 config file
23 to -r7 always fails. The same if I use the genkernel smp config file.
24
25 So the actual request is this: Can someone send me a copy of their
26 kernel .config file, or /etc/kernel/?? file, from a system using the
27 A8N-SLI Premium motherboard?
28
29 I would appreciate such a config file. I would not object to any
30 suggestions as to why the recent genkernel images fail to find the real
31 root disk image, or any hints as to why I can't get ntpd to work.

33 Thank you,
