Hi,
...thanks a lot for all your helping answers to my previous
questions!
I opened a new thread, because I got some problems.
In the meanwhile "my" gentoo system has grown fast. KDE is
installed, X is installed and other nice things, too.
But there are some little oddities:
I installed a vanilla kernel, cause I dont like patched kernel
sources that much. It is only a feeling and by no means a mistrust in
the gentoo developpers...but...(sorry).
--
First problem:
I configured the kernel to accept the parameter "vga=" and added "9"
for the mode, which I found working on my old system very well. I
used the same config (same hardware, same PC) on my new system.
What happens? The kernel boots and shows the tiny font I like so
much. But suddenly while working on the bootscripts, the size of the
fonts switched to a bigger (ugly, rectangle-shaped font). More
mysterious: ALL BLUE letters were cancelled by a horizontal bar. Only
the blue ones (I am NOT joking! ;O)
Since the boot process was that fast, I couldn't realize, what stage
of the boot was currently processed.

Second problem:
I wanted to emerge gnome. After a while this fails with:
In file included from apmsleep.c:57:

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status
message.
I couldn't save more of this, since that was all I could see on the
screen (big font problem...see above).
--
Third problem:
While emerging something often there are messages displayed as fast
as they are vanishing in the endless space of bits behind my monitor
;O)
Is there any logfile of the emerging process written to somewhere ?
Kind regard and thank you very much for any helpful reply in advance
! :)
