[gentoo-user] Kernel Configuration

[Aaron Bauman]

All,
  I recently asked about some issues about getting my kernel to boot.  I
would rather not use the ubuntu kernel as previously suggested unless it is
completely safe.  I am currently booting successfully off of Ubuntu running
kernel version 2.6.32-21-generic.  The errors I kept getting when booting
the gentoo kernel was an RPC failure for NET:.  Not really sure what that
could be.  The following is my lspci output.

[gentoo-user] Hardware Support for Netbook

[Aaron Bauman]

All,
   I bought a new Toshiba T215D-S1150 with a AMD Athlon II Neo Processor.  I
am currently having issues with the livecd not booting.  Everything seems to
get stuck on an NeT RPC error while the kernel is booting.  I was able to
successfully install Ubuntu (Netbook Remix and 10.x).  From there I was able
to chroot and install Gentoo.  Upon reboot I was not able to boot the kernel
yet again.  I have chrooted back in several times and still have failed to
find the proper kernel version or configuration that will boot my system.
Any support or help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,
Aaron Bauman
