RE: [gentoo-user] grub help (hda1=winxp, hda3=linux)
I just finished rebuilding my machine and I repartitioned my box so that it looks like: /dev/hda1 = windows xp (ntfs) /dev/hda2 = linux swap /dev/hda3 = gentoo (ext3) no, I don't have a separate /boot partition. Anyway, I followed the installation instructions (excellent btw!) and I'm having problems getting grub to install on my MBR. In the grub prompt, when I type in root(hd0,0) it would come back with something like unrecognized file type. After that it's pretty obvious that the setup(hd0,0) wasn't going to work. I don't think the message unrecognized file type is such a show stopper. It still can start that partition with the chainloader. I had GRUB installed on the MBR, so GRUB booted first, and when selecting my NT partition it would start the NT boot loader, that would in turn boot the selected NT configuration. Not sure if this is much help, but who knows. Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Question after merging portage 2.0.47
Hi. I've updated from portage-2.0.46-r9 to portage-2.0.47-r8. At the first time to use it, it asks me to : portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then. Also note that non-root/wheel users will need to be added to the portage group to do portage commands.

Re: [gentoo-user] net config? problems
For your description of the problem it sounds like you do not have a defualt gateway specified in your linux system Do a 'netstat -rn' and see if you have a line that look similar to this '0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0' If you do is it pointing to address on your cable/dsl router? If you don't, make sure that '/etc/conf.d/net' file has the 'gateway' parameter correctly defined and uncommented. I am assuming your are manually setting your IP address, since dhcp, hopefully, would have set default gateway properly.

Hi all,
I am very happily running linux-wlan-ng on my R31 ThinkPad with a built in

I do have two questions though.
linux-wlan-ng uses an init script called wlan. This is not a Gentoo flavour
init script, but it still works pretty well. The problem is that I want my
net.wlan0 init script to need the wlan init script and I'm not sure how
to do this. I've tried...
init.d/wlan..
depend {
provide wlan
}
init.d/net.wlan0...
depend {
need wlan
}
but that doesn't work as rc-update bitches about wlan not being a
dependancy or something like that.
Maybe try running /sbin/depscan.sh before rc-update ??
Second. I have a completely different wireless configuration at home and at
the office. This isn't a big issue as I have two configuration files and a
script that I run by hand to change from home configuration to work
configuration and vice-versa.
I'd love to find a way to automatically detect which network I'm in
proximity to and automatically configure for that network at startup. If
anyone has any suggestions they would be gladly accepted.
Thanks.

What may be the problem is that gentoo's automatic fstab creator seems to create the swap line as: /dev/SWAP none swapsw 0 0 but that doesn't mean that the /dev/SWAP necessarily exists in devfs. If /dev/SWAP doesn't exist, then this line won't work. So either change the line in /etc/fstab to refer to the real /dev/ device, or add a symbolic link for SWAP to point to the device. Gentoo does not automatically create a usable fstab; you always have to edit it.

Maybe it is use. But can you explain why wlan instead pcmcia? pcmcia
works fine for me?
use doesn't seem to work either, and I use wlan-ng instead of pcmcia cause 1)
It's not a pcmcia card. It's a built-in mini-PCI Prism2. and 2) because I
can't stand the orinoco drivers, and they don't work well for me.
I'd love to find a way to automatically detect which network I'm in
proximity to and automatically configure for that network at startup. If
anyone has any suggestions they would be gladly accepted.
I thought the default setting in wlan-conf is SSID_wlan0=, which means
any network in the range. I am using my wireless card in my home and at
school, no need to configure another wlancfg- file. Of course, unless
you want to access specific AP.
I certainly wish that were the case, the SSID_wlan0 setting only tells the
system which wlancfg-XX file to use.
I can't figure out a way to determine SSID before starting the network. Heck
I'd be content with determining the MAC address of base-station before
bringing up the interface.

That's before it loads anything from the drive, isn't it? I'd suspect the power outage also contained a couple of spikes, which may have damaged your m/board. Go into the BIOS and tell it to reset ESCD data, if it has one of those under the PCI/PnP settings. That might help. reset ESCD data WAS enabled in BIOS, disabling,booting then reenabling didn't help. I put an old 8 gig drive with Gentoo on it in and it boots. Yup, Fried the harddrive. SOB!!

Re: [gentoo-user] Install dilemma need some advice
I rebooted and the machine is hung at Verifying DMI pool data. It sat there like that for 10 minutes. I hit the reset and the same thing. It's been like that for an hour now. Is my new drive toast? does anyone have any ideas? I would suggest you un-plug the hard drive or plug in another one (if available) to see if the problem still exists. Sometimes, when stuff like that happen, the MBR (master boot record) of the hard drive gets confused so if all else fails and you don't get the Verifying DMA pool data error with that hard drive not in your system, you could try to erase the master boot record. But be warned, if you have data on the hard drive more than likely it will be inaccessible after you do this. Jason Ernie Schroder wrote: I've got the new machine built.

I couldn't get the onboard nic or a pci slot nic fired up with my 1.4-rc2 live cd but an rc3 CD boots with the gentoo nonet option and dhcpcd eth0 fires it up fine. Any way, I started my install and partitioned and formatted the new 80 gig drive, then started the steps to make directories and mount the partitions. First thing I noticed, when I did mkdir /mnt/gentoo it told me it couldn't create the directory because there already was a /mnt/gentoo. How can that be?

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 3.1 Compile fails at kdeaddons
Mike, I can understand from this what you need, however I still don't know how to 'capture' those last few lines short of writing them all down, and the compile seems to fail and stuff goes past so fast it scrolls off the top of the screen. Sorry, I'm not more capable of describing it.

You'll still get the output to the console, but it will be written to a_log_file also. HTH -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'd be inclined to look at the config.log, especially as I have php installed with jpeg enable, to actually find the error. In my experience many 'libblah not found!' are attributed to broken installs (i.e. a dependancy got removed), and usually fixed by re-emerging the affected lib. (I couldn't read the TOC of DVDs' from dvdrip, it kept popping up a box and telling me to put a DVD in the drive. I found where the error was generated in the source, and the failing command (tcprobe) which triggered it. Running the command manually showed a missing lib (libdvdread), re-emerged transcode, and I carried on and divx'd the DVD) -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
