Hiya,
In that case, I can probably roll my own kernel as well. I believe I'd
need kernel-package to make that a bit easier. Also, I'm a bit unsure about
things like initial ram disks--I never needed an initrd with Gentoo. Might
you be able to provide some instructions on what exactly I'd need to do to
get a kernel that will boot? I've never had to deal with the vagueries of
kernel-package and all that before.
Thanks much,
Zack.
