Finally got Gentoo up and stable on my new laptop. Installed the new beta (just days before it went release), and went through the whole isntall procedure. The documentation is lengthy, but EXTREMELY thorough (happy day)!
I have everything that I want up and running flawlessly, including a custom low latency kernel, and some wireless hacking tools (love airsnort).
Some tips and tricks follow...
First of all, to get a laptop running with PCMCIA using gentoo (helpful for people having errors with insmod ds or ds.o and if you can't get orinoco working with pcmcia_cs)...
DO NOT ENABLE PCMCIA IN THE KERNEL!
Instead, recompile your kernel with pcmcia disabled, and wireless networking enabled, but with no adapters compiled in or as modules. Back up your config file FIRST though, so that if you screw up the make menuconfig changes, you can get back to at least where you left off. Now make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install .
Copy the new bzImage to your boot dir (mount it first eh?) and then add the new settings to your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Be sure to not copy over your original bzImage, since this kernel may not be stable yet (sometimes these things happen). Also, copy the .config file in /usr/src/linux/ to config.custom.whatever in your home dir. Next, emerge pcmcia_cs (and force a rebuild if you have to).
If you have a wireless orinoco card (if you see orinoco when you plug in your wireless card and type lsmod), copy /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to /etc/init.d/net.eth1 and edit the settings as appropriate. Also udpate your settings in /etc/conf.d/net to match this card.
Reboot! You should have no ds or pcmcia related errors this time around. You may timeout after 30 seconds when searching for a network to connect to on the wireless card if you set up dhcp.
For some extra fun, I suggest emerge airsnort.

Posted by: Enki at September 28, 2003 07:16 PMGrrrr! But I WANT to use the kernel-pcmcia support. That's the future direction pcmcia is taking in Linux.

Posted by: fleshlight at October 20, 2004 11:16 AMBy recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain.

husband and screamed, Erlenmeyer! My joules! Someone has stolen my
joules!
Now, now, my dear, replied her husband, keep your balance and reflux
a moment. Perhaps they're mislead.
No, I know they're stolen, cried Florence. I remember putting them
in my burette ... We must call a copper.
Erlenmeyer did so, and the flatfoot who turned up, one Sherlock Ohms,
said the outrage looked like the work of an arch-criminal by the name
of Lawrence Ium.
We must be careful -- he's a free radical, ultraviolet, and
dangerous. His girlfriend is a chlorine at the Palladium. Maybe I can
catch him there. With that, he jumped on his carbon cycle in an
activated state and sped off along the reaction pathway ...
