Well, thanks for the help guys. When installing, I used the config from the LiveCD to build my own. It seems that, somehow along the way (probably oldconfig?!) some serious support was removed or marked as module. I mean the console support... I'm pretty sure I didn't messed up with that part, and still, it wasn't there. Well, 7 hours wasted on this, gosh... Thanks again. -- Daniel da Veiga -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
