Did you set all the flags mentioned by the 2.6.1 ebuild script? Most pertinently the first two. Here's the relevant text: Please note that ptyfs support has been removed from devfs and you have to compile it in now, or else you will get errors when trying to open a pty. The options are: Device Drivers -> Character devices -> Unix98 PTY support and File systems -> Pseudo filesystems -> /dev/pts filesystem. Also, note that you must compile in support for input devices (Input device support->Input devices), the virtual terminal (Character Devices->Virtual terminal), vga_console (Graphics Support->Console...->VGA text console) and the vt_console (Character Devices->Support for console...). Otherwise, you will get the dreaded \"Uncompressing the Kernel\" error. -Bruce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
