Re: [gentoo-user] New To Gentoo and Emerge, No ACPI in Kernel

[Lord Sauron]

SOLVED!!!

I did as you suggested.

localhost ~ # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 7
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Current Kernel
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3
title Old Kernel
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda3
title Failsafe
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel  /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3
        initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5

is now what I use.  Later I hope to reinsert my Live CD and get the
pretty stuff off of it to beautify my Gentoo.

ACPI now works perfectly.  There was a small glitch in which I
discovered that my newly built kernel did *not* have my networking
card installed, so I had to recompile with that enabled but after this
it was no sweat.

Thanks for your help - I would have gotten as far as Kubuntu if you
hadn't helped me (as in I would be back with Kubuntu).

However, even before beautification I have to figure out how to mount
my USB memory stick (/dev/sda1), however, that's for another thread.

Thanks for your help - I hope to be able to make it up to you all someday : )
