Clearly your Gentoo installation has some configuration issues, inc. your |
| 9 |
compiled kernels. The initialisation scripts and misconfiguration of |
| 10 |
services at boot/default runlevels could be another problem causing it to |
| 11 |
choke. |

I suggest that you zcat your Ubuntu's .config file into your |
| 23 |
Gentoo's /usr/src/linux and then run make oldconfig. That should give you |
| 24 |
the same kernel configuration which you can thereafter peruse at leisure. At |
| 25 |
the same time I would copy over the CUPS configuration file from Ubuntu to |
| 26 |
Gentoo (but don't try that until you have proven that your new Gentoo kernel |
| 27 |
is still having problems printing). You can even diff the two files to see |
| 28 |
if there are any significant differences in settings. |
