In the meantime I'm trying to update my system to 2.6.12-r4 (up to now I used 2.6.11-r3 from 2005.0 universal installation cd)...
Actually, I did not updated the system, but installed once more. This time as a "network installation", with latest portage and stage1 downloaded from some mirror-server (previously I installed without network, portage and stage3 from gentoo-2005.0 universal CD). And (to my surprise!) everything works without a problem. Halleluyah! And I even used the same kernel-config from 2.6.11-r3 for 2.6.12-r4 (was too lazy to go through the whole "make menuconfig" again)... Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
