Hi all,

I installed Gentoo Linux yesterday but I'm having problems that I think
are related to the kernel.
When I try to compile kdelibs3 the machine just freezes up and I have to do a hard reboot. I had this same problem when I was running Debian.
The processor I have is a Celeron (CopperMine) and as far as I can see
the 2.4 kernel just doesn't agree with it.
So, my question!
How do I direct emerge to pick the earlier 2.2 kernel? This is mentioned in the install guide but not how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Tom

Just looking /usr/portage/sys-kernel in the sources and headers folders indicates some 2.2.21 ebuilds. I tried to do a pretend emerge /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.2.21_pre3.ebuild and the corresponding linux-sources ebuild, however it says you must modify the package.mask file to accept the older kernel. Not anywhere near instructions, but its a headstart for you. I too will be trying this somewhere down the road on one of my servers with a RocketPort card, apparently it isnt supported in 2.4. Hopefully this helps a little at least..:)

Cheers!
