Hi Christoph. Thanks for offering help with compiling a kernel. So you still
suggest putting USB audio & USB midi in the hotplug blacklist? I'd have
thought they would have shown up in lsmod. Perhaps not. Is there a list of
available files similar to Synaptic on FC1,FC2,Debian? Or can you suggest a
kernel to emerge so as to compile it from source code? Do I have to emerge
anything else to compile a kernel? The main things I want the kernel to
handle are 8139too for my NIC, and all the Alsa stuff including USB-audio . I
tried to compile the kernel when installing Gentoo. A terrible failure, and I
gave up for about 5 weeks. Went for it again the other day. All the system
had been emerged and was in the root partition, so I just carried on where
I'd left off , this time compiling the Genkernel, unfortunately missing USB
audio support. Thanks in advance for any help. Nigel.
