wow...quick reply :) i guess they werent lying when they said gentoo has terrific forums! wooho! well about possible nic/nat problems...i highly highly doubt it, becuase like i said, i run redhat9 linux on the same box...its a dual boot. and the live cd was able to easily use my nic, like i mentioned earlier. but now back to your questions... the following was run on my gentoo install: cat /etc/env.d/01hostname: HOSTNAME=farrell (you said it should have a FQDN...but it doesnt...but if it was supposed to have a fqdn, why is the filename 01hostname? just curious...i like to learn :) ) lsmod: Module Size Used byNot tainted usbcore55488 1 8139too14152 1 mii 2160 0 [8139too] (hum...looks to me like petty few kernel modules...but then again i have practically nothing configured...sound, printing, etc..) also, you asked about my kernel...ya its a gentoo-sources install, and instead of menuconfig, i did what the install docs told me to do to have it merge the options gentoo would chose for me...i forgot the command it was...i can look it up if necessary. so perhaps it compiled lot in statically? well in either case my box is lightning fast compared to my redhat9 install...gentoo boots in like 30 seconds, redhat in about 90 seconds... ifconfig eth0: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:44:14:1B:72 inet addr:192.168.1.105 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::202:44ff:fe14:1b72/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xf000 and about ipchains etc..i dont think so... i dont recall them loading at boot time, but it scrolls by soo fast i dont know if i'd really notice... but all i have installed on gentoo is what i had emerge install: sync, gnome, kudzu, but of course it satasfied any dependencies those had. how do i check to see if ipchains, etc is installed? im used to redhats rpm -qa ;( thanks again, farrell farahbod On Sun, 2003-08-03 at 22:06, Dan Foster wrote: Hot Diggety!

Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 problems after installing gentoo 1.4rc4
Hot Diggety! Farrell Farahbod was rumored to have written: wow...quick reply :) i guess they werent lying when they said gentoo has terrific forums! wooho! It's a pretty nifty crowd, indeed. :) well about possible nic/nat problems...i highly highly doubt it, becuase like i said, i run redhat9 linux on the same box...its a dual boot. and the live cd was able to easily use my nic, like i mentioned earlier. but Ok. Based on that and the other information you pasted, I'd like to say that it's likely a module issue of some sort, possibly. Not with loading it, but with functioning, for some unknown reason? cat /etc/env.d/01hostname: HOSTNAME=farrell (you said it should have a FQDN...but it doesnt...but if it was supposed to have a fqdn, why is the filename 01hostname? just curious...i like to learn :) ) With some OS installs (not just Gentoo, but many others on various platforms), sometimes it isn't always clear to end users -- especially one new to the OS/distribution -- that a FQDN is desirable. I'm no spring chicken when it comes to UNIX (and UNIX-like clones for some of our resident pedants ;) ) but that still bites me from time to time. Further compounded by the fact that the various OS/distros don't usually be picky about FQDN vs non-FQDN hostname because it doesn't assume anything about the environment the machine is in. (DNS, no DNS, domain vs no domain, or just plain don't care, etc) As for numbering scheme with /etc/env.d, if it's anything like SysV init scripts, it appears that the numbering is mostly to ensure the more important basic stuff gets set or processed first. For instance, with /etc/env.d, you see: 00basic, 01hostname -- number one stuff to get set early on! Then you have 05gcc, 10mozilla, 10xfree, etc... then later on, the less important stuff -- 70less, 90games, etc. lsmod: Module Size Used byNot tainted usbcore55488 1 8139too14152 1 mii 2160 0 [8139too] So it appears to have loaded ok. You've got an eth0 device as well. But what bothers me is the ifconfig eth0 output. (hum...looks to me like petty few kernel modules...but then again i have practically nothing configured...sound, printing, etc..) also, you asked That's fine. Modules offers the greatest flexibility and lessens the need to reboot to enable/disable functionality. But since this is a new installation, I'm sure you'll eventually get around to modulizing as many stuff as you can... for now, what you have is fine. ifconfig eth0: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:44:14:1B:72 inet addr:192.168.1.105 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::202:44ff:fe14:1b72/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xf000 I was mostly concerned about 'UP BROADCAST RUNNING' being present along with inet+bcast+netmask matching/making sense, and MAC address being correctly displayed. Looks good on all counts. Now, the fact is, there's _0_ packets or errors... that seriously bothers me the most. Try pinging the default route IP again, and see if you get anywhere. Not going to be a cable issue (which usually lists some TX packets and errors) because it works fine in a dual-booted RH setup. Also, could try booting into RH, and do 'ifconfig eth0' and compare to see if stuff (like the MTU, for instance) agrees. Now, normally, 0'd counters for an ethernet device might mean that the driver (module) is not working or didn't recognize the chipset, even though it loaded. Just because a module loaded, doesn't mean it will actually handle a device. I'm baffled, if the exact same module worked ok on the LiveCD. Hmm. Might also try pasting the output of: # dmesg | grep -i eth and about ipchains etc..i dont think so... i dont recall them loading at boot time, but it scrolls by soo fast i dont know if i'd really notice... but all i have installed on gentoo is what i had emerge install: sync, gnome, kudzu, but of course it satasfied any dependencies those had. how do i check to see if ipchains, etc is installed? im used to redhats rpm -qa ;( That's ok... judging from eth0 info, doesn't appear to be an issue. As for checking packages... you'd need to do this to emulate rpm -qa: # emerge gentoolkit # qpkg -I -v [search string] (or just 'qpkg -I -v' to look through the whole list) Although until you get eth0 working, probably don't have an easy way of grabbing gentoolkit-0.1.30.tar.bz2 (or .gz) into /usr/portage/distfiles for that emerge to work. :) (short of booting into RH, d/l'ing that file, cp'ing over to the Gentoo partition, etc) One workaround and a way to check without needing qpkg is: #

While ive installed gentoo many times previously, I havent come across this particular kind of problem. The box is a Shuttle sv24 with an on-board realtek 8139 NIC. The LiveCD [with no special options passed] detects the card on IRQ11 and uses the 8139too module quite happily. The 2 USB hub's are also detected on the same IRQ. For the install, I selected both the realtek 8139too and 8139cp modules just in case. Unfortunately when booting the new install, gentoo doesnt say anything about eth0. When I manually insmod the driver or attempt to assign an IP to the device, it say's the device is unknown/not found. Looking carefully at the dmesg output however, there is a section about conflicting devices on IRQ 11 [and it lists the usb drivers loaded], so I tried disabled the usb hub in the bios [the keyb/mouse are ps2] but this didnt seem to help. The only other message that seemed to be of any relevance was 'ds: no socket driver found' - but after carefully checking the kernel options to that of 2 other gentoo boxen I have, I cant see anything obvious which could be causing the problem. Like I said, I get the impression its an IRQ-level problem as opposed to a driver-level problem, as the hardware isnt even detected, so how can a driver talk to it?

As my Linux usage is in the area of audio recording, I especially appreciate that fluxbox runs very few processes by default. fluxbox provides 'the slit' which is a small area to place docking apps, I can dock a number of things there, can auto hide them if I choose, etc. It's nice, simple and fast.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo as a server
Gentoo's version of stable and Debian's version of stable are fundamentally different in that Debian's stable will not break the API of an application on upgrade, while Gentoo will. I just took down a Gentoo server I haven't reinstalled in ages, and over its life I remember Postfix updates especially being a pain because of config changes from v1 to v2 and within v2.x. So don't get me wrong and think that Gentoo isn't stable enough for a server, just make sure you know what you have in mind when you say stable - there's more to it than just not crashing.

Is anyone there who could explain me what's that? Under other Linux distributions, these rcX.d directories are the locations for several startup scripts (for runlevel X). Under Gentoo, there are no such numbered runlevels, but named runlevels (for example default). So Gentoo's startup scripts are located unter /etc/runlevels/runlevel, which are symlinks to the scripts itself under /etc/init.d/script. So if a program asks you for those runlevels, you have to give a) the directory /etc/runlevels/runlevel, b) /etc/init.d or c) create directories under /etc/rcX.d, maybe with symlinks to /etc/init.d/script as well.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo as a server
If you don't use the ~arch flag it's as stable, if not more so than any other distro's stable version. This has niggled me for a while... Are the ~arch flags intended to denote the stability of the ebuilds or the stability of the packages? To me it makes more sence for them to denote ebuild stability since software developers already have their own mechanisms for telling us which software they recomend as stable (even and odd version numbers etc) and I think they should know best about the software they wrote? e.g. I was quite happy to find that mutts 1.5 branch ebuild has been marked as stable (Their developer branch last time I looked) which suggests that infact gentoo doesn't have a policy for marking stable software, apart from the ebuilds themselves. (Somthing I would really be happy with since I much appreciate being given a choice about what versions I run.) Is this all clearly specified somewhere, if so can someone give a pointer to the document, else should it be made more clear to people, since I guess their may be others who arn't sure how they should be inturpreted? thanks, Robert -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
