From the Gentoo install guide:
| Quote: | | Note: For those who prefer it, it is now possible to install Gentoo Linux with a 2.2 kernel. Such stability will come at a price: you will lose many of the nifty features that are new to the 2.4 series kernels (such as XFS and tmpfs filesystems, iptables, and more), although the 2.2 kernel sources can be patched with Reiserfs and devfs support. Gentoo linux bootscripts require either tmpfs or ramdisk support in the kernel, so 2.2 kernel users need to make sure that ramdisk support is compiled in (ie, not a module). It is vital that a gentoo=notmpfs flag be added to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the 2.2 kernel so that a ramdisk is mounted for the bootscripts instead of tmpfs. If you choose not to use devfs, then gentoo=notmpfs,nodevfs should be used instead. |
