gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.10r6 and entrance?

Shelbie

I just tried to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.7 to 2.6.10 and the system seems to boot fine (except for th splash screen but thats another issue) but the new kernel cant start my entrance? Is there something I need to do to get entrance started for this new kernel?

I use this kernel and entrance together with no problem... maybe it's actually an X issue or a driver issue. I'm sorry if you all ready thought of this, but do you use seperate drivers for your video card? Have you tried reinstalling them after your kernel upgrade? If nvidia, reemerge nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx, for ati, ati-drivers.

Hi Lookinin, I hadn't thought about that yet but I just changes entrance to xdm and that doesn't seem to work either so its not an entrance issue. I am still very much a n00b when it comes to Gentoo so I appreciate all the help I get.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card. Everything was (and still is) working fine when I boot my old kernel

Okay, then that's probably it... assuming you're using ati-drivers, just re-emerge while the new kernel is running, and it should work.

This will tell you if ati-drivers is installed, and what it would do when you merge them....
