Change all occurences of /proc/ksyms to /proc/kallsyms It could be that you have to change something more but I don't remember.

It is a bit tricky and I can't remember exactly how I did it. Here goes: Unmount the drive a.s.a.p after you deleted the file Make a backup of the partition run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition remount. Copy the deleted file to another partition Re-"install" the backup Something like that. There is a mail about this in the reiserfs mail archives. I don't remember the author so you have to search manually. Regards, -- Anders Hasselqvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://good-deed.dhs.org/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] fstab problem

I did this during the weekend so I have it in fresh memory :) You have to add ufs filesystem support in the kernel. Under partition types you have to add PC BIOS->BSD disklabel support. Then just mount -r /dev/hd* -t ufs /mnt/bsd This is read only since write support isn't completed/stable. This worked for a FreeBSD4 partition.

[gentoo-user] qt-3.1.2-r4 depending on kdelibs?
Hi, I upgraded qt to qt-3.1.2-r4 today. To my suprise it also installed kdelibs (running only plain old Fluxbox). Checking dependencies with qpkg -q kdelibs shows this: kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.2-r1 * DEPENDED ON BY: x11-libs/qt-3.1.2-r4 Why? I guess it's a bug.
