it shows errors I'm not comfortable with.  For example, it says is 
unable to set the system clock yet the time is set correctly.  This 
messages from the clock init script.

harvee-xeno init.d # hwclock --show
hwclock is unable to get I/O port access:  the iopl(3) call failed.

udev quirk or something more sinister?  in either case, turning off the 
clock init script should help except for the fact that you can't turn 
off the clock script without doing more invasive surgery.

the next set of errors come from the consolefont script. turning it off 
makes those errors go away.  I suspect the key mappings error is 
similarly solvable but I just haven't had the time to dig back into it.

one other thing I noticed was that when I try to use Reiser FS, I kept 
getting exceptions from the journaling code.  So I decided to take the 
cowards way out and switch to ext3.  now the exceptions may have been a 
fault of my own doing because there is a high probability I did not have 
my domU filesystem fully set up with udev.  In any case, onward and upward.

emerge --sync works so I am hopeful

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
