Yes, you must rerun lilo from a working installation. lilo does not understand
filesystems, so rerunning lilo
Yes, try "equery f app-laptop/laptop-mode-tools" to find all the files
involved - its quite extensive.

Thanks for all your support.
Yesterday evening I reconfigured the kernel again, and I added SCSI I think,
but I also removed some generic IDE drivers and just kept the VIA driver for

So when I boot from my minimal-cd the disk is /dev/hda so if I write

Hello !
I am realy a beginner at Linux, and i am trying to get Gentoo work with my

I have followed the Handbook (I hope), and have looked at some Epia HOWTO's
on how to configure the kernel. (manual config)
I configured the needed devices as built in, and nothing as a module.
