Hi, beginner questions:
I don't have problem with the gentoo kernel, can that be related with the hardware you have? Are you comparing the same kernel version for gentoo and vanilla (that can matter I guess)? my experience: When I installed gentoo I had several kernel panics and they were related to the configuration of the kernel compilation, tha is by far the more difficult stuff for a beginner like me. alb On Sep 02 at 07:57PM+0200, Michael Gruetzner wrote: > Hello, > > I also had problems booting the gentoo kernel(I could never manage to > compile a working one and I got similar massages as you).
