I compiled the kernel I had before the crash last night. Version 2.6.17-gentoo-r4. I thought everything was dandy. Until this morning when I came down and tried to configure ALSA. Apparently I’ve not put my sounds cards drivers in my kernel. I could of sworn I did it, but I guess I didn’t. I let that slide though. I don’t have any speakers hooked up to my computer anyway, so that wasn’t really a big deal. So I move on to get my wifi back. The madwifi driver won’t take though. Modprobe says it dosen’t exist. Not a biggie either, I’ll just re-emerge the drivers. NOPE! Apparently the madwifi driver requires some special parts of the kernel involving cryto stuff, stuff I totally left out, because I’ve never needed it before. So here I go again, recompiling my kernel. Man what a pain in the butt crashing your computer is. Take my advice and don’t ever do it. Enjoy the Penguins!
