Re: [gentoo-user] x11-base/xorg-server 1.12.2 fails after upgrade

[David Kuhl]

I have a problem building the kernel too.  I use genkernel with source
3.2.1 but the latest --sync brought in 3.3.8 which builds the kernel
but fails on building the initramsfs.  Something about now finding an
ext2 header; however, when I searched for it I found in in the source
tree.  Do I need to fix the kernel problem first and get KMS in?
