Problems with Natsemi module & Athlon CPU

[dciwalsh]

Hi,

I've been installing Gentoo 1.2 on my computer the last few days
with mixed results. My computer has an Athlon XP 1800+,
1 Gb DDR RAM, an ATI-Radeon8500DV graphics card and a
Netgear FA311 network card.

So I got Gentoo running, and the network connection up using the
natsemi module. However when I tried to get the Desktop going,
"emerge kde" exit exited with the error:

checking for mcopidl ... not found. Econf failed, Line 9, Exit code 1.

Then I noticed that when compiling my kernel I had left the
CPU type set to Pentium III. I thought this might be the root of the
problem so I set the CPU type (in make menuconfig) to Athlon.
Recompiled, mounted /boot, and copied bzImage to /boot.
Now however the network module "natsemi" won't load.
"make modules_install" gives the following error.

/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net/natsemi.o:
unresolved symbol _mmx_memcpy
:insmod natsemi failed.

Just to check that I didn't change anything else I reset the
kernel CPU settings to "pentium III", and the network connection
worked again.

Any ideas on either problem (network, kde)??

Thanks

So it seems like the fix for the network problem is
to compile the kernel as a Pentium III.
Am I right in thinking this won't cause any other
problems?

Re. Kde. I did do "make modules" before
"make modules_install".

I'll try emerging arts first, although I don't think it
complained about it. After quitting with an error
when I ran "emerge kde". If I run it again
(emerge kde) the initial output says...

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: qtver-from-kdever command not found
reeet-qt: command not found
set-kdedir: command not found

Then it seems to run until it quits with the econf error.

Are these "command not found"s something to worry
about?

I just got kde to install by:

emerge alsa
emerge arts
emerge kde
