-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
When I previously posted and got the response below, it may as well have been hieroglyphics because I had no idea what Bob was talking about. However, when I went back to square one and got to the point of compiling the kernel, I still used genkernel, but ran the makemenuconfig utility and saw that the format was as below. So, I made the changes that Bob suggested. Now, I _don't_ get the errors as in my previous attempt and as displayed below.

I don't think that I changed anything related to framebuffers when I ran makemenuconfig. It was also my understanding that although I could use a vga statement in my grub.conf file to specify a framebuffer device, that with a gentoo patched kernel, I didn't need to. So, any idea where I made my mistake?
