Well, I finally got the 2.6 kernel compiled on my laptop and booted. Everything comes up fine, with the exception of my sound drivers. I'm getting an error that the module for the intel ALSA sound driver is already inserted into the kernel. Problem is, I'm following the steps someone else posted when they installed Gentoo on the same machine. So I emailed him asking for his help and I'm currently waiting for a response on that.
I am also having an problem getting PSI to build. I tried to emerge it and it built QT 3.x also. Fine, it needs it. But now it complains that the build environment isn't set up properly for QT. WTF? Here is the output that I get when I try to build PSI:
proteus root # emerge psi

Configuring Psi ...
There was an error compiling qconf. Be sure you have a proper
Qt 3.x build environment set up.
!!! ERROR: net-im/psi-0.9-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 32, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)
I posted a message on the PSI support forum and again, I'm waiting for a response. When I get these two issues resolved, I should have a functioning laptop with most of what I want on it.
Posted by doug at January 17, 2004 12:53 PMThe sound issue is really a non-issue. I figure that it's a dependency issue where another script is trying to insert the modules after they are already there. In fact, the sound works fine, as I am listening to some of my mp3's right now :)
As for PSI, I gave up for now and am using Gaim.
