Then post the error that you're getting and the output of the |
| 12 |
pre-emerge checks. |

If you build your kernel with genkernel it *should* work. You probably |
| 15 |
just had to blacklist the free drivers to resolve the "kernel conflict". |
| 16 |
So maybe start over with a fresh genkernel and try that. |

That's expected if you didn't recompile the drivers. It means that one of |
| 28 |
the features you disabled was used by the driver module. Also make sure |
| 29 |
you remove the /lib/modules/4.8.11-gentoo directory before reinstalling |
| 30 |
your kernel modules as it looks like video.ko is not supposed to be |
| 31 |
there. Maybe you disabled that feature but the modules is still there |
| 32 |
from your previous build. |
