Currently, the most recent version of the source in portage is 2.4.22. Huh? How long since you ran 'emerge sync'? Cause the latest vanilla kernel in my portage tree is 2.4.24 and that's about the latest version in the 2.4-series if you don't want to run pre-releases. I actually ran 'emerge sync' this mornining. In my portage tree, the latest gentoo-source is 2.4.22-r5, which I'm already running. The latest vanilla-source is 2.4.24. I guess this begs the question: what is the difference between the gentoo-source and the vanilla-source kernel? Below is an excerpt from the Gentoo Linux Kernel Guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml): For most users, the recommended kernel sources are the gentoo-sources. The gentoo-sources package contains specially tuned performance kernel patches designed to optimize tasks such as compiling while listening to music and browsing the web. Most of you who are new to Gentoo have probably never run a system where you are regularly compiling many packages from source while you are doing your normal everyday tasks on your computer. You may find that if you use the vanilla-sources (the official kernel sources released from http://www.kernel.org) normal tasks -- such as listening to music, moving your mouse and the like -- may appear jumpy when you are compiling packages. The gentoo-sources contain an updated ACPI subsystem and are based on Con Kolivas' high-performance kernel patches (ck-sources). We also support grSecurity (a set of security-related patches with support for ACLs), EVMS(2) (a highly flexible storage management filesystem with easy partition resizing), JFS (IBM's high-performance filesystem), the latest NTFS drivers, and more. Because the gentoo-sources are targeted at full performance, they are also very good for gaming purposes. -- Barry Marler Information Analyst II Center for Applied Genetic Technologies University of Georgia Athens, GA USA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Dual boot question
Well, anything like 'hdc' is irrelevant, then. As far as grub is concerned, it's 'hd0'. To Linux, it's /dev/hda. Do you have FreeBSD installed on the 1st partition of that drive, with /boot, swap, and / on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, respectively? If you have /boot on the 2nd partition of the drive, the salient part of grub.conf would be something like: root (hd0,1) kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda4 initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 All this is contingent on your drive being partitioned as you implied earlier.

Re: [gentoo-user] Dual boot question
No, your root is apparently hdc4, so you'd append root=/dev/hdc4 to the kernel line. Also, you'd have to add a FreeBSD section. I only have one user with a FreeBSD box, which he pretty much administers himself. I seem to recall there are issues using grub to boot it. Better read up on that. http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.92/html_mono/grub.html would be a good start, in addition to the FreeBSD site.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem on booting after installation.
Sorry, been out all afternoon. All you need to do is boot with the install CD, mount your boot partition, and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. Your settings are generic;kernel-KV should be your kernel. If you used gentoo-sources (recently), it's kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7.
