Have a look at the depend() function in /etc/init.d/xdm. It specifies
what should be started before xdm, so adding agetty to an "after" line

Thank you to all who responded. `make oldconfig` works as usual without the
worries. I was a bit apprehensive because of the gentoo kernel upgrade guide
warning about using oldconfigs but turns out it's safe afterall. Thanks guys.

The error you are receiving indicates that you already have a service
occupying the port that the nfs server wants to bind to, however only one
service can bind to a port at any one given time. So you must find the

An emerge (of openssl, I believe, but am not sure) a few days ago
triggered a request for me to run
# revdep-rebuild --library libcrypto.so.0.9.7
# revdep-rebuild --library libssl.so.0.9.7
I have done so. The revdep-rebuild for libssl found nothing, but the
one for libcrypto rebuilt openssl.
