Maybe, but it will not fix every ebuild that cannot compile. As I said, it is 
a gcc bug. IMHO (as stated in the Gentoo bug) 2.15.92.* should be ~amd64, or 
even masked, as a lot of things break with that version.

This problem is known already, and a fix is found, too. But I have no
access to base-system packages and need to wait for azarah to apply them.

You should try to use lm_sensors - there are some success reports
about this board:
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29514.html
In fact, most desktop machines do not support access to thermal or fan
information via ACPI (because the code for this is not present in
DSDT); and even if it is supported, the capabilities compared to
lm_sensors are reduced (e.g., most hardware monitoring chips support
voltage monitoring, which is not available through ACPI interfaces).
 

Thanks for that. I guess I've been spoilt by using laptops mostly.
lm_sensors finds the readings fine... Now all I have to do is work out 
which is which :)

2005-03-05 Thread NY Kwok
strangely enough, I can never get lm-sensors to work on my K8V. It
keeps saying that it can't find the the devices and to make the device
files with mknod. But this shouldn't be necessary with udev, surely. Is
there any way of finding out whether the system is detecting the
sensors at all?

Run sensors from the command line to see some basic output.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Problem with pam-0.78

I was previously seeing the same problem.  I downleveled cracklib from 
sys-libs/cracklib-2.8_pre1-r1 to sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r10, and pam compiled 
cleanly for me.

[gentoo-amd64] USB Works! Now just my sound card...

2005-03-05 Thread Mark Creamer
Thanks all for your help with the USB suggestions last week. Making the USB 
stuff modules took care of it.

The only remaining issue I think is sound. I have a SoundBlaster PCI512. I 
chose the emu10k1 device driver, since that's mentioned on the card's specs. 
I have it and all the related sound drivers configured as modules also. So 
far, I'm not getting any sound though. Any tips you might have for that?

Probably you want to do "rc-update add alsasound boot" and
"/etc/init.d/alsasound start".  Also, ALSA sound is muted by default.
You need to use a mixer program to unmute it.  ROX Volume Control
(rox-base/volume) the one I like best (it may be masked for AMD64, but
it works).  There are also alsamixer, alsamixergui, aumix, kmix, etc.

Barry, that was it. I had to configure alsa and add my mixer. Now it works 
great. Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
