That is already set. This error appears DMA related and not the

There is an option in the kernel:

[gentoo-user] KDE Install Problem
I'm a new Gentoo user, although not to Linux in general. I'm trying to
install Gentoo on an older HP Pavilion with a k6-2 333 processor. All
has gone well to this point - I have the base install (I started from a
stage 3 install), as well as X installed and operating. (Both -mcpu and
-march are set to k6-2 in make.conf)
I encountered a problem trying to install KDE. After starting with
"emerge kde", it ran for a while and halted with an error on trying to
compile libvorbis-1.0.1. The problem occurs as the compiler is
compiling floor1.c. I receive an error that looks like:
{standard input}: Assembler Message
{standard input}: 13439 Error Value of ff7e too large for
field of 1 bytes at 4b4e
I have deleted the portage directories for libvorbis, resynced, and
re-emerged it. No success. I re-emerged libogg, which is required by
libvorbis, and it compiled successfully. However this didn't fix
libvorbis - it still fails in the same place.
I have also googled, to no avail, either.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to get past this error? I
have piped the messages to files, if that would help anyone.
Thanks,
Bob

More like I did something obviously wrong. How can proc be mounted if
there is nowhere to mount it? I am feeling quite more and more disposed
to attribute this error to some lack of user understanding. Here is my
fstab file. The proc line is unmodifed from the original fstab that ships
with gentoo. Why is gentoo wanting to mount proc if by default there is
no /proc directory, and if the default fstab file doesn't say where to
mount proc?

Eureka! utter gentoo bliss. By making the directory /proc and specifying
it as the procfs mount point in fstab, the gentoo system completely
booted, but complained about no devfs. Anyone know why gentoo requires
devfs?

Thank you, Brian It boots now. It was obviously a memory problem instead of detection problem. Once I entered the memory settings, everything booted smoothly. I still have much work to do, but is is a good beginning. BTW: I used the same mem settings on my working debian system. Except that it was not needed to setup the system. I already knew the solution, but overlooked the obvious. I should have known that!!! To avoid such situations could the gentoo developers make some minimal memory checks?

Yes, your boot partition is missing the kernel image. I'm not sure where genkernel puts it, but by all reasoning you should find it at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Make sure that boot is mounted and copy the kernel there by issuing: cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/gentoo/boot/kernel-2.4.24 Then modify your grub.conf to the following: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.24 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/hdb1 vga=794 Note the changed hd in the kernel line (your kernel is in the boot partition, not the root one).

Re: [gentoo-user] Macintosh volumes
I have used it (hfsplus) with the 2.4.x kernel. Just compiled it as a module on my IBM clone and built-in on my PPC machine. So far I haven't had any problems. I guess I haven't tried to mount and rw to a Mac volume from the IBM clone though. No problems with the Mac. It's an "old world" machine (pre green-n-white G3s), so when I compile a new kernel I have to copy it to "/System\ Folder/Linux\ Kernels/" so that BootX will load it after the initial MacOS boot.

Re: [gentoo-user] GRUB problem, Part 3
just a thought... what does your /etc/fstab file look like? The filesystem type error looks like something you'd get if your fstab was set up wrong... from the looks of your /boot folders, you have no kernel... Personally i've never used genkernel, so i dunno if you have to manually copy it over or not. However, i'd check the following location to see if there's a kernel there that genkernel made. the 'standard' name for the kernel is bzImage and is located in /usr/src/linux/arch//boot/. You need to copy that file to /boot (make sure you mount /boot first). Then you should be set.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on an old Compaq/SCSI RAID
Well, I know that Linux will run on a 2500 with that controller (which is a standard Compaq controller). I've done it plenty of times with Redhat, which recognizes it and loads the proper modules during the install. Unfortunately I don't have any 2500s anymore to show the output from lsmod. There are a couple of different modules you might try to load manually, including sym53c8xx.o, 53c7,8xx.o, and ncr53c8xx.o. Alternatively, if you have a Redhat installation CD, you might try and boot off of it, just long enough for it to detect the modules. You can switch between virtual terminals to see the output.

Hi, Krikket wrote: Now, given the comments about copying the kernel over and not remembering doing that (which seems to be confirmed by the lack of it's presence) I went over the directions in the install manual again for that part of the load. I see it as part of the instructions if you manually configure the kernel, but it is *not* part of the instructions if you use "genkernel". (Which I did.) In that case, its likely that genkernel copies the kernel to /boot itself. Do you think something errored out that I didn't notice, or that the isnructions are incomplete for this step? Or something else entirely? Or...? Perhaps /boot wasn't mounted. `umount /dev/hda1` and `ls /mnt/gentoo/boot` - that will show you any files copied to /boot before it was mounted. (Remember to mount /dev/hda1 again after if you need to.) You could re-enter the chroot and run the genkernel stage again, after you are 100% sure /dev/hda1 is mounted as /boot under the chroot.

[gentoo-user] Font problem: unicode IPA block corrupted by Nimbus Sans L
I have this persisting problem with incorrect glyphs being rendered in stead of the most of the IPA character block of unicode. According to gucharmap utility these wrong glyphs are contained in font called Nimbus Sans L, which doesn't even seem to exist in any of the common font-directories. Furthermore the incorrect glyphs are from cyrillic unicode block, which is located right before the IPA block, so I assume there's just a minor mistake in some font file? Anyways, I am currently unable to read any course material on phonetics on my gentoo box, so if anyone would even know a way to disable these fonts I'd appreciate it. And since it doesn't exist on Debian, Redhat or windows boxes with similar configurations I have reason to believe it is a gentoo problem, but I have opted not to report it to bugzilla yet as I am unable to find details on it (such as, what package would the problem belong to). -- .signature: No such file or directory -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

-I will try 3.1.5 however I don't believe recompiling the whole install would
help as:
-KDE 3.1.4 worlks perfectly with qt 3.1, so it has something todo with 3.2
(and KDE)
-I only did a fresh install after christmas.
-I know of someone else having the same problems with KDE from cvs.

Ok two questions,
1) how do we get this version included in the portage tree ?
2) I did as you suggested but the build failed :-

I mounted: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/ mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot Contents: /mnt/gentoo/boot bootgrublost+found /boot bootboot-bmp.b boot-menu.b boot-text.b chain.b grub mbr.b os2_d.b Which would explain why now when I select Gentoo to boot I get the message: filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Error 15: file not found Now, given the comments about copying the kernel over and not remembering doing that (which seems to be confirmed by the lack of it's presence) I went over the directions in the install manual again for that part of the load. I see it as part of the instructions if you manually configure the kernel, but it is *not* part of the instructions if you use "genkernel". (Which I did.) Do you think something errored out that I didn't notice, or that the isnructions are incomplete for this step? Or something else entirely? Or...?

Instead of "root (hd0,0)", I manage to put down "root (0,0)". Ooops. For some reason, editing the command doesn't seem to change anything, but if I delete it and then add a replacement line, it takes. (It doesn't save that change, but it does take. So, if there are any suggestions on how to save it, please speak up!) Then I hit the letter 'b' to Boot, and I get the error message, "Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83". Err, any thoughts on what I did wrong, and how I can fix it? (For hopefully obvious reasons, I'd like to avoid doing the install from square one...)

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.4.22 (r4 and r5): nfs problems
I submitted a bugreport for a problem I've been having with 2.4.22 gentoo-sources kernels. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38399 These kernels give NFS timeouts on my NFS mounted homedirs, but mainly under heavy operations. 2.4.20 kernels work fine... Does anyone else experience this or have any information about a probable cause?

[gentoo-user] lm-sensors 2.8.1 ebuild
Hello everyone, Emerging lm-sensors 2.8.1 on a 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 kernel throws many errors like this: Makefile:236: kernel/busses/i2c-nforce2.d: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Makefile:236: kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.d: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Makefile:236: kernel/busses/i2c-ali15x3.d: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Makefile:236: kernel/busses/i2c-amd756.d: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden ...and finally this one: !!! ERROR: sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 84, Exitcode 2 !!! lm_sensors requires the source of a compatible kernel version in /usr/src/linux or specified in $LINUX and >=i2c-2.8.1 support built as modules. In the console scrollback i found a note that kernel versions between 2.4.5/6 and 2.5.x are recommended - covering the installed kernel version, so: what's wrong ? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on an old Compaq/SCSI RAID
If Roy can't solve it for you, I fooled around with an old digital(p200 pro's) server once with a Knoppix CD. It seemed to detect everything ok and let me format the scsi drives, etc.. That may be an option for you. Installing from knoppix or any other distro is not that difficult as long as itruns a new enough kernel that allows you to chroot to the gentoo file strucure. Tomsrootboot no longer will. Hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] White noice in sound
Hi, I have an intel8x0 sound card (on board sis 735 chipset on a K7S5A V3.X http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7s5a_v3.html motherboard). I've upgraded my whole system, had some troubles with alsa, and now I'm back to getting good sound, but after a while (I don't know the excact conditions, the sound changes in white noice and does not get good any more). I've searched the forums, the Internet and asked around, but all I could find is that it is probably some I/O error (something else using the registers of the sound device). But can't find anything more. Does anybody has some tips where to look? which files I should check for? anything can help :), Thx Jan --- Technical people are better off not looking at patents.

'generating ISOs' (from a directory tree) is handled by mkisofs, as suggested by the other posters. I guess a lot of people (m'self included) on here never use Nero, so some more info on how you make use of it's 'Image Writer' function would help.. cdrdao will allow you to burn CUE/BIN format to a disc, but I'm not sure about redirecting output to an image file as apposed to a physical device, so you could later recover a regular ISO form it.. is that yr goal? otoh, the formats are probably not terribly complicated - isos can be prepared from a physical disk like so with dd: # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/mydisc.iso I'd guess the BIN part of CUE/BIN is very simillar, afaik BIN is just images of consecutive tracks concattenated and CUE is a plaintext index of htese tracks.

Andrew, A friend of mine ripped a CD, but he didn't rip it as an ISO. There are 4 files: a .ccd, .cue, .img, and .sub file. How do I use these files in Linux to burn a CD?
