If you are still chroot'ed into your new installation you are using the LiveCD |
| 24 |
kernel, which may not be particularly fresh. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
To use your newly compiled genkernel you will need to exit the chroot and |
| 27 |
reboot into your new system (don't forget to eject the LiveCD). I think it |
| 28 |
shouldn't matter if syslog-ng is not emerged yet, you should be able to emerge |
| 29 |
it when you boot into your new Gentoo system. |

An alternative would be to use a different LiveCD with a more up to date |
| 32 |
kernel. You can try: |

| 36 |
which is kept current by its developers. |
