Well I got a new server today and I'm installing gentoo, but when I try to configure the kernel it keeps screwing up on me. It gives me the following:
Code:

  HOSTCC  scripts/lxdialog/util.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/lxdialog/yesno.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog

Your kernel configuration changes were NOT saved.

Anyone have a clue why it fails to start menuconfig like that?
 
Yeah make config worked, but F*** that! I did figure it out though. It was the terminal I was using. I used urxvt to ssh in to do the install and since it didn't have urxvt on the server it was bitching. Switching to a yucky xterm fixed it right up and I got menuconfig to work just fine.

EDIT: now I'm hitting a kernel panic when trying to boot. It's installed on a Qlogic ISP12160A PERC card with 2 SCSI drives in RAID 0. I forgot to get a copy of the .config so if you really need it to help, let me know and i'll boot it back up. Otherwise the GRUB conf has the following:
Code:
kernel /kernel-2.6.14-rc3-nitro1 root=/dev/sda3

The kernel panic is complaining about not being able to mount the root partition and unknown device (/dev/sda3).

And yes i have the Qlogic ISP12160A module compiled into the kernel as well as the "RAID support" at the top of the SCSI page. Anyone got an idea for this one?
