Hi all, |
| 2 |
|

I've become so enamoured with Gentoo that I've decided to install on my |
| 4 |
laptop. However, I'm having a bit of a problem. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm at the point where I can boot the system and I've been trying to |
| 7 |
install xorg-x11. However, the laptop keeps powering off on me. |

|

This wasn't a problem until I build the kernel where I built acpi |
| 10 |
support into it. However, I *didn't* read the ACPI Guide and obviously, |
| 11 |
should have. That's no big problem, I'll just recompile the kernel and |
| 12 |
follow what the Guide says. |

My issue is this: The computer powered off in the middle of the install |
| 15 |
of xorg-x11. This has happened a couple of times. I haven't been |
| 16 |
having problems with the laptop, so I'm pretty sure the issue has |
| 17 |
something to do with power management since I built power management |
| 18 |
into the kernel, but didn't emerge acpid. Anyway, since the emerge of |
| 19 |
xorg-x11 has bombed a couple of times, is there anything that I should |
| 20 |
do in the way of clean up before trying to emerge it again? |
