Hi all, I've become so enamoured with Gentoo that I've decided to install on my laptop. However, I'm having a bit of a problem.
I'm at the point where I can boot the system and I've been trying to install xorg-x11. However, the laptop keeps powering off on me. This wasn't a problem until I build the kernel where I built acpi support into it. However, I *didn't* read the ACPI Guide and obviously, should have. That's no big problem, I'll just recompile the kernel and follow what the Guide says. My issue is this: The computer powered off in the middle of the install of xorg-x11. This has happened a couple of times. I haven't been having problems with the laptop, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with power management since I built power management into the kernel, but didn't emerge acpid. Anyway, since the emerge of xorg-x11 has bombed a couple of times, is there anything that I should do in the way of clean up before trying to emerge it again?
