Did you move or nuke your old 2.4.4-ac9 dir in /lib/modules before doing |
| 18 |
'make modules_install' during your re-compile. This can cause issues when |
| 19 |
depmod -a is run automatically against System.map (in 2.4 series). |

With a net connection: |
| 26 |
# cd /usr/portage |
| 27 |
# emerge rsync |
| 28 |
<< wait >> |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
will update your portage tree with the current dose of ebuilds. After that |
| 31 |
you can 'emerge /a-section/a-program/a-program-*-.ebuild' away. |

There are some very useful docs at gentoo.org |
