Jason,

I am making a slight change to what I said in the previous message.


I do this to compile and install a kernel:
 
cd /usr/src/linux
# configure the kernel
make # this compiles the kernel after configuring it
make modules_install install
 emerge speakup

Everything else is the way I described it below.

Thanks,

William
