Appears that the Disk entry is fstab-dependant. I had added the entry
while running X, and thought I had properly exited-reentered, but now,
after a reboot, there it is... Right after "Paste Files".

Still the same issue with audio though...

Another question, is there a way to resolve the Unresolved Symbols of
LKM's without recompiling the kernel? Here's what I have after a depmod:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/gl518sm.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/i2c-core.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/i2c-dev.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/i2c-proc.o
h

Also, when trying to load it87 (system sensors) I get:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o: unresolved symbol
i2c_proc_real_R507900da
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o: unresolved symbol
i2c_sysctl_real_Rfdda5a28
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o: unresolved symbol
i2c_register_entry_Rea4c34e7
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/misc/it87.o: insmod it87 failed

Thanks!
