Gentoo up and running ... few quirks. Linux gurus ... inside please :)
1: Sound. Not getting any. I've got snd-emu10k1 loaded in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, and on bootup it does show the module loading [ OK ] ... but when I get in x, the volume control has a slash through it, and the pop-up/tooltip says "No audio device"
Any ideas?
Edit: It was auto-configured under Fedora Core, like the mouse, and worked just fine.
2: Mouse. It works, and the wheel-button works. But the wheel itself doesn't work. What do I need to config, to get that wheel working. When I set up Fedora Core, it was working, so I know it can be done... just clueless on how
3: Mounting the samba shares. To get my 2nd drive mounted as read/write, I had to set the umask=000 flag in fstab. Should I put the same flag in the rc.local file (which doesn't exist on this system, so I guess I'm going to have to create it) for the samba shares... or is there another way to make them read/write to everyone?
4: Haven't gotten into enlightenment yet, but about to start downloading it. However, to start gnome, I have to run gdm... but only root can run gdm. I tried putting gnome in my .xinitrc, and ran startx as a user, and it exited X saying it couldn't find "gnome". However, if I put xfce in .xinitrc, run startx, x starts up just fine, and goes into xfce (albiet xfce 3.8, even though I updated to 4.2 ... and xfce4 errors in the same way that gnome did, when set in .xinitrc). How can I get gnome to start when doing startx as a user?
Which brings me to my actual question... what do I need to load in .xinitrc, once e's installed, to have it run e when I do startx?

under device mouse section,
add
Option 'ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
and change
Driver 'PS/2"
to
Driver "IMPS2"

but if I remember correctly you would need to put in...
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment (or wherever the enlightenment executable was stored) and If memory is correct iyou would put it in the .xsession file though. I could be wrong

Not too sure how startup scripts run in gentoo... I am also not sure how to make the disks writable by all.
Have your tried booting into init 5 (or it might be 4) that will automatically start the window manager much like was done in FC3 by default.
IF you went the above route you wouldnt need to worry about this...

And I found the fix for the mouse not too long after posting this, but it was like 3am and I needed to get some sleep, so I didn't restart x to test it. Works like a charm now. I do have 2 more buttons on the side, that in XP function as a Back and Forward button, when in a browser.
Would I just have to add: Option "Buttons" "7", to get those to work? Or alternatively, with 7 buttons, "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"?
I'd thought about changing the runlevel to 5, but I like it booting into the cli first. I remember with fc3, there was a few things I'd try to install (like the video drivers), and they couldn't with X running... and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to stop X and get back to a prompt, once it's up and going :-/
So I figure I'll leave it at 3, at least until I can figure out how to exit X and get back to a prompt when needed And I got e16 downloaded, and will be checking it out tonight after I get back from work. I was downloading some modules for e17, may want to test it out some too if I feel up to it. Emotion kept failing during an emerge, due to it's dependancy on xine-lib not finishing a compile. Gonna check and get a source for that, and try and compile it manually, then try to emerge emotion again.
And here's the output of lspci ... any other modules I should be loading, based on the hardware?

as for alsa, you might want to try emerge alsa-driver... Im not sure how gentoo works too well, but I would start be reinstalling alsa to see about getting your seound werking..
if you did however add alsa into the kernel statically, you probably want to tackle your first kernel recompile and remove it.

If I do make menuconfig, will it still have all the options selected, or will it switch back to a default config that I'll have to try and guess?

Here is what I generally do,
cd /usr/src/kernel
cp .config ../ #backs up your current config
make mrproper #this basically cleans all the kernel config settings and resets all files
cp ../.config . # moves your config file back
make xconfig #GUI for configuing the kernel
make bzImage #makes the kernel image
make modules #creates modules
make modules_install #installs the modules to the /lib directory
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.xx #copies kernel image to the boot directory
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.xx #copies the system map file
cd /boot
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.xx -m filesystem# creates initial ram-disk, or you can statically put your file system into the kernel and skip this step.
obviously you will need to update lilo and run lilo... it should be about as simple as copying what is already listed and adding the above file names that you made.
first kernel is tough... but after 3-4 times its like riding a bike.

When you say: mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.xx -m filesystem ... is it supposed to be filesystem, or am I supposed to enter the filesystem being used? And in that case, should I use my /boot fs, or my /root fs? /boot is ext2, /root is reiserfs

Well.. something broke, and it won't go into X now. Just a black screen. Otherwise, the cli works fine.
I think I might have found the solution... switching back to check.

Yeah, I broke something.
The "fix" I thought I found, was after installing udev, might need to change the mouse from /dev/input/mice to /dev/psaux ... didn't help.
So I compiled the kernel, and unloaded some modules that I know I don't need (such as all the extra network card modules), as well as making sure ALSA was set as a module, rather than built in.
At first I thought it was the "exec /usr/bin/enlightenment" I put in .xinitrc (which overrides .xsession if it's present), so I tried my old way of just doing gdm while logged as root. Still no go. :-/
I'm going to go rebuild X, maybe that'll sync whatever's fucked up.
Beyond that, any other suggestions?

... oh my god. It's like I'm back in the day's of DOS, logging onto a BBS through Telix. Man this is ass, having to use a text based browser (Lynx) ... but thank god it's available. X compile's taking a while :-/ A text-mode gaim type client would be sweet

Alright, back in X, and got enlightenment rolling.
Buttons 7 enabled those buttons... but ZAxisMapping 6 7 ... is bad The scroll wheel is now forward/backward, and the two extra buttons, one is middle click (brings up the scroll icon), and the other is right click :-/

Buttons 7, ZAxisMapping 4 5, scroll wheel works, and the two side buttons act as the scroll icon, and right click aliased buttons. Bleh.
And I think I'll wait for e17's official release (ie: not cvs only). e16's nice, but reminded me too much of LiteStep... or maybe LightStep reminds me too much of e16... I dunno. e17 looks like a nice blend between e16, and a desktop environment like Gnome (ie: a taskbar that I can load stuff into, without having to always use the menu). I could probably go for that.

Ok... this is really strange. I'm using grub as the bootloader ... but my /boot/grub/grub.conf file consists of:
However, when I restart the system, the loader screen has my original confiuration, which was(is?):
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.9-gentoo-r1)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda4
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
And after I'd compiled, I went to edit the grub.conf, and it was blank, so I started re-adding those lines... got to the splash image, and exited out, wondering why it was a blank file. When I went to edit it again, it was loaded up with my original config... so I just assumed I'd misspelt something the first time around.
locate grub.conf isn't even listing /boot/grub/grub.conf, only
/usr/share/doc/grub-0.95.20040823/grub.conf.sample.gz
/usr/portage/sys-boot/grub/files/grub-0.94-grub.conf.patch
... nevermind. /dev/hda2 wasn't mounted to /boot. I guess it unmounts after it's finished loading. And that would probably be why the recompiled kernel isn't showing up, because bzImage never got copied to the right place :-/

Alright, the new problem says the kernel needs pnp support, when trying to compile alsa-driver. There's a listing for Plug and Play Support in the kernel config menu, but no options to check to enable it. So I did make xconfig in the 2.6.10 source that I downloaded a while back, but never tried to compile it, and there's a checkbox to enable pnp. So looks like I'll be updating my kernel at the same time

I dont know anything about grub... i have never used it. So I will not be able to help you there, all the 2.6 kernels should have an option for pnp supprt.. not sure why it was not there for you?
if you want, give me ssh access and I will get you a good .config file.

not sure how to give you ssh access. But the 2.6.10 kernel is almost finished compiling. Again.
I'm doing it using genkernel, which is an automated script for compiling the kernel, but it also allows for customizing the options with the --menuconfig switch (which I did).
I went this route, becase when I got to the mkinitrd line, in your instructions, I typed it in (replacing the xx with 10) exactly like you had, and it spit out the options, as if I'd just done mkinitrd --help. Also tried it with replacing xx with 10-gentoo-r6.
It gives an example at the end: (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15) ... I've got nothing with a .img... is that the System.map I copied over, or the bzImage? I assume something along the lines of: mkinitrd /boot/ initrd-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 (to follow the naming convention) is what I would need to do?

Well that didn't work. Got Error 15 when I rebooted. Only change to grub.conf was adding a line to differentiate between the 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 configs... basically just copied my 2.6.9 line, and changed the names where needed. It's not even loading the grub menu though, just error's out immediately, and locks up. Normally it'd drop to a grub> prompt, and I could try manually entering the commands :-/
Booting off the install disc now, to see if it might be salvagable.

Ok... back up with 2.6.10 ... new problem. Still trying to emerge alsa-driver, and in doing so, it tries to determine the kernel source directory... which it's finding the 2.6.9 source directory, instead of the 2.6.10 ... so it's still erroring out saying I need to enable pnp.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
So it searches for /usr/src/linux which is a symlink ... so I changed it to link to the 2.6.10 source directory.
And it's back to saying it's compiled in the kernel!

It is, when you use one of the newbie distributions like Red Hat/Fedora Core and Mandrake. All this shit is set up for you automatically.
I'm a total newbie, and I'm trying to use one of the distributions that's really not for newbies ... but I want to learn how to do all this stuff, rather than just have it automatically configured.
Anyway, carrying on, I gave up on trying to emerge the alsa-drivers, and just manually compiled them. Everything seems to be ok... but my volume control still has a slash through it, and "No audio device".
Running alsamixer from the command line brings up the mixer... just don't have a way to test it to see if it's working, regardless of the volume control.

SUCCESS! I've been looking everywhere BUT Gentoo's documentation... and nothing else mentioned running amixer ... and subsequently
# amixer set Master 100% unmute
# amixer set PCM 100% unmute
The driver's have been loading all this time... but the levels have been muted. When I ran alsamixer, I'd turned the volume up, but the channel was still muted.
Good lord.
Now time to tackle the video card... try and get 3d acceleration going.

I think I got 3d acceleration up and going too Used to get around 300fps with glxgears, but now getting 2000+. Updated to X.Org 6.8.1, and the ati proprietary drivers, version 8.8.25.
Also figured out how to be able to use startx, and have it run Gnome. In .xinitrc, I changed exec /usr/bin/enlightenment to /usr/bin/gnome-session
So now I can finally get into X with the Gnome de, without having to log in as root, to use gdm
