Hello gentoo user n helper :)
I installed gentoo linux 1.4 on an i686 but have 2 troubles
1- USB storage (I have a 32 MB memory stick) I have install scsi mod, sd_mod, usbcore, usb-storage (everything needed that I once read from forum) I modprobe everything seem to be ok but when I mount
--- mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /mnt/flash --- it fires back:
---
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
---
then mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
also not helps
You need to rescan your SCSI-Bus for new devices (USB-Devies use the SCSI structur of th kernel ...
I do that job with a script from SuSE ... it is called rescan-scsi-bus.sh
here is it : http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh or have a look at google to find it
it creates for you the nodes and makes them usable ... (or update to Kernel 2.6 there is a new system which is working well ...)

2. I installed fetchmail, wrote a fetchmailrc with fetchall option
First I run fetchmail -cv (normal user) to see it work, but all my fetched
mail go nowhere,
I don't know where they've gone! already check /var/spool/mail/anh
My email on server still all there.
Perhaps your own (local) mailserver doesn't accept that mails ?
I don't know. I used fetchmail a long time ago ....
