Just because I don't want to mislead anyone, let me explain clearly what I |
8 |
did: |
9 |
- boot 1.0 CD |
10 |
- preliminaries setting up filesystem |
11 |
- unpack stage 3 tarball |
12 |
- power down |
13 |
- boot using 1.0_rc6 CD |
14 |
- modprobe pcmcia_core, i82365, ds; cardmgr -f; dhcpcd eth0 |
15 |
- mount partition(s) with stage 3 tarball stuff installed, etc. |
16 |
- chroot into stage 3 system |
17 |
- emerge kernel source (since network now available) |
18 |
- build kernel 2.4.19 using exactly the options I had used on my old |
19 |
(completely functional, GNOME, X11, et al) 1.0_rc6 system (i.e. PCMCIA |
20 |
completely modular, using kernel modules, etc.) and install |
21 |
- configure grub to list new kernel |
22 |
- emerge pcmcia-cs |
23 |
- exit chrooted system, unmount, power down |
24 |
- reboot into new kernel |
25 |
- working networkable system |
26 |
- begin emerging everything else |
27 |
|

Another thing I should point out. Back when I was first using Gentoo (last |
29 |
week and the week before) I was having problems with the pcmcia stuff in the |
30 |
kernels I was building. In particular, the kernels wouldn't build unless I |
31 |
enabled SMP (laptop != SMP) which I didn't want. With these SMP kernels, I |
32 |
found that PCMCIA would give me the same "kernel panic" behaviour that I'm |
33 |
having now! |
34 |
|
35 |
It turns out that I needed to "make mrproper" after emerging the kernel |
36 |
source. After that, I could actually build a uniprocessor kernel! Furthermore, |
37 |
that uniprocessor kernel would not give me the "kernel panic" behaviour. |
38 |
|
39 |
So perhaps this is related? The install instructions do not encourage a "make |
40 |
mrproper" last I looked, but I have been doing it from here on out and haven't |
41 |
encountered the same weirdness. |
