supported motherboard?!

I just installed gentoo: after compiling the kernel (vanilla-sources-2.4.20) and reboot I found many failures in /root/kernelboot.log! It looks like my motherboard (ASUS A7V8X) is not supported but I'm new to Gentoo 1.4 rc2 so I don't know. my /root/kernelboot.log is appended:

Everything looks ok to me except for this section, it looks a little screwy:

ok, I ll try to find out! but what do you think about the agpgart section

Check the "Character Devices" section in your config, and make sure "VIA Chipset support" is compiled in.

I use this mobo as well, I also get the IRQ things in dmesg, but I haven't had any problem yet. Gentoo works fine here. Now only my Audigy...

I read agp 3.0 is not supported in 2.4.20 on kernel.org but it can be patched in. do you know how. Did you (yngwin) try to use 3d-applications - is agp supported with your kernel?
