Hello, I install de Gentoo 1.4_RC2 in my Toshiba Notebook, but when I compile the kernel, it doesn't work good. When I download de Vanilla Sources, the version is 2.4.20. My machine is a Satellite 1675 CDS, HD 6Gb, 64 Mb RAM, Sound CS4182 and ATI RAGE 3D with 4Mb. I gonna put more 128 Mb RAM. I emerge de GNOME Desktop. I sow on the toshiba support page and discover that my notebook has ACPI. But this thing doesn't work. This feature is experimental! So, how can I put my notebook up and running well with Gentoo Linux? Please, sorry my english. I'm from Brazil. Thank you.

Try a gentoo-sources, xfs-sources these are the gentoo kernels. If it still doesn't work then it is a kernel bug and will be submitted upstream.
we can only fix gentoo kernels also
