This article is still a Stub. You can help Gentoo-Wiki by expanding it.

Note: This guide is still incomplete,but i'm adding to it as I check back through my options. Feel free to add any changes.Sh4nn0w 14:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kernel Configuration

[edit] Audio

Options as follows;

Linux Kernel Configuration: 2.6 kernel 
Loadable module support  --->
   [*] Enable loadable module support
Device Drivers  --->
   Character devices --->
       <*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
   Sound  --->
       <M> Sound card Support
           Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
               <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
               <M> Sequencer Support
               <M> OSS Mixer API
               <M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
               <M> RTC Timer support
               < > Verbose printk
               < > Debug
               Generic Devices  --->
               PCI Devices  --->
                      <M> Intel/SIS/nVidia/AMD/Ali AC97 Controller
               USB Devices  --->                    
           Open Sound System  --->
               < > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)

I then emerged alsa driver with this flag in make.conf:


File: /etc/make.conf 
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"

[edit] Ethernet

Linux Kernel Configuration: 2.6 kernel 
Device Drivers  --->
       Network Device support  --->
           Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)  --->
               [*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
               [*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
               <M> nForce Ethernet support
       [*] Ethernet (1000Mbit)  --->
               <M> New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support

You can choose "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK98xx Support" instead of "New SysKonnect GigaEthernet", becouse it supports some features, but be careful - it is more buggy and Deprecated, so for Home-usage use "New SysKonnect" driver.

[edit] P-ATA

Linux Kernel Configuration: SATA chipset support 
Device Drivers --->
   <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support  --->
       [*]     Generic PCI bus-master DMA support  --->
           <*>       AMD and nVidia IDE support

[edit] SATA

Linux Kernel Configuration: SATA chipset support 
Device Drivers --->
   Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers  --->
       <*>   NVIDIA SATA support

See the SATA howto for further instructions and information and kernel settings.

[edit] Sensors

Linux Kernel Configuration: 2.6 kernel 
Device Drivers  --->
   <M> I2C support  --->
           I2C Hardware Bus support  --->
               <M> Nvidia nForce2, nForce3 and nForce4
   <M> Hardware Monitoring  --->
       <M> AMD Athlon64/FX or Opteron temperature sensor
       <M> ITE IT87xx and compatibles

Then you need to load modules at startup

File: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 
i2c-core
i2c-nforce2
hwmon
k8temp
it87

Then execute sensors-detect to configure and load your sensors

[edit] USB

Linux Kernel Configuration: 2.6 kernel 
Device Drivers  --->
       USB support  --->
           <M> Support for Host-side USB
           <M>   EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
           <M>   OHCI HCD support
           < >   UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support

[edit] IEEE 1394 (Firewire)

Linux Kernel Configuration: 2.6 kernel 
Device Drivers  --->
       IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support  --->
           <*> IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support --->
               <*> OHCI-1394 support
