I just built me a new rig so I just went through the same thing. This |
| 30 |
is how I did mine. I booted a CD/DVD and used "lspci -k | grep driver" |
| 31 |
to list the drivers in use. That helps a lot. With that, you can use |
| 32 |
the search feature when doing the kernel config. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I went with 64 bit and used a miltilib profile. So far, everything is |
| 35 |
working fine. All my usual websites are working and everything. This |
| 36 |
is my USE flags: |

I put the ones that I changed in bold for you. Don't copy and paste |
| 51 |
that since the * may mess up portage. Since this list is supposed to be |
| 52 |
text only, I had to make them bold with the *. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Since you are using a nvidia card, read this too. |

Basically, enable CONFIG_SYSVIPC in the kernel. The nvidia driver won't |
| 59 |
load without that. I have the following built into my kernel: |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Symmetric multi-processing support |
| 62 |
Enable MPS table |
| 63 |
AMD IOMMU support |
| 64 |
MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support |
| 65 |
Preemption Model (Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
There are others but I think that is all that is different. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
That get you started? |
