[!!] > ERROR: Problem starting needed services. > "netmount" was not started. This is NOT a kernel error message. This message is printed by the shellscript /etc/init.d/net.eth0 which is started by init. Maybe there is no module for eth0 loaded? Log in as root and try dhcpcd eth0 What happens? What error message do you get? Fix that. > So, did I trash my original kernel? Was the method I > used to compile a custom kernel incorrect? As I said above - this is NOT a kernel error. Maybe there's a missing module, but the would depend on your kernel configuration or on /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 (load the right modules on startup). If you have further questions concerning this error and / or gentoo linux look at the forums at forums.gentoo.org or contact me directly. Don't bother the LKML with this. Greets, Manuel
