But thats not what you said. I Quote: "In the past I have always leaned toward ~x86 (I love bleeding edge). But since this was going to be a new install I decided to do the preferred method and set all ~x86 flags via /etc/portage/package.keywords for specific packages. " This means your MIXING the two and is only recommended once the system is up. During an install, you should do one or the other, not start mixing and matching. HOWEVER, if you did set all to x86, and havent touched package.keyword, read the next paragraph. Stable is fine.. I really dont understand how some modules have ANY thing to do with being x86 or ~x86.. Modules are always finicky, no matter what linux distro you use.. You probably are just forgetting to compile in the kernel options you had before, that you do not now have. (Guessing of course). Sounds to me you just re-installed before making sure you had all your ducks in a row and blaming it on gentoo. I havent seen anything in your message that I can say, gentoo did it, and you didnt do it yourself.. It all really just sounds like configuration issues, that happens on all new install, no matter the distro, x86/~x86, or otherwise. Jeff
