[gentoo-user] Wireless Help
Ok, I've done some hunting on the forums and such but cannot find anything that really helps me. What I've got is a Netgear MA401 (Orinoco/Prism2) and a Netgear WAG511 (Atheros 5001+) card which I would like to use on my Gentoo install. Can anyone offer step-by-step instructions on how to get these puppies to work? Jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Portage Tree
Out of curiousity, how often does it get updated? I am seeing that at least one of the programs I want to emerge is behind the actual site. The specific one is nmap and gentoo.org reports it at 3.45 and its homepage saus 3.48. Jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Emerge problem
I did do the mirrorselect both auto and interactive and I selected sites I knew to be working. Still did not work. So I got PO'd and formated the partition again and redid the untar'ing of stage 1, skipped the mirrorselect part and it works. It's currently syncing right now. Thanks for the suggestions.

RE: [gentoo-user] Emerge problem
I commented out the GENTOO_MIRRORS line and up'd the retries to 25 in make.conf but I still get the same error.

Maybe you have an rsync mirror in /etc/make.conf? If so, remove it - then try again. :-) -Jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Emerge problem
Is anyone having resolve errors for emerge tonight? I'm trying to "emerge sync" and I am getting 'Temproary failure in name resolution' errors but when I ping the IP from my Windows workstation it resolves just fine. /etc/resolve.conf is correct as well Any suggestions?

RE: [gentoo-user] Operating System not Found
Have you tried downloading the source tarball from kernel.org or a mirror and doing it manually? -Original Message- From: Brent L Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 9:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] Operating System not Found OK so Im guessing no one has any ideas? Sheesh.. all I did was recompile the kernel and reboot and the system would no longer boot. I get no grub menu.. I get diddly. It's almost like it cant find grub in the MBR or something. I just recompiled the kernel again, re-ran grub with root(hd0,0) and setup(hd0) (which are the same settings I did before when initially setting the system up). Should I have to do anything ELSE when recompiling the kernel with "genkernel --configure" ? The drive is fine.. I can boot to the install CD just fine and mount to /dev/hda1-3 just fine. grub.conf is still fine.. unchanged since when the system was working. Dang.. I finally get my wireless pcmcia card running perfectly.. now this.. not my lucky day :) - Brent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Installtion Help: Co-existing with WinXP
I omitte the lines that went into XP. The problem is I do not want LILO to be the primary boot loader. Since I am in Windows more, I would prefer to keep the booth loader on that side so I do not have to reboot to make a small adjustment or something. The problem I am having right now is getting LILO to be invoked from boot.ini by way of bootpart and getting Gentoo to actually boot.

The first line boot="/dev/had may I assume the quote and "had" are typo's it should be boot=/dev/hda aside from that there is no entry for Windows in your config file Edit your lilo.config file adding the lines other=/dev/hda1 label="dos" save the file and in a terminal run #lilo when you reboot you should be able to choose between windoze and linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Installtion Help: Co-existing with WinXP
Title: Message I have a stage 1 install on my Celeron laptop. I followed the instructions on the install guide and I cannot get the installation to boot. The layout of the drive is as follows: /dev/hda1 - NTFS /dev/hda2 - ext3 (Mounts as /boot) /dev/hda3 - ext3 (Mounts as /) /dev/hda4 - Swap I want to use Windows XP's boot.ini as the manager since my machine is majority in Windows anyway. I used bootpart to make a file to load. Now, I can get LILO to work except that it will not boot my linux partition but will boot XP just fine. But when it does work, it breaks the Windows XP boot sector. I have gotten this configuration to work for Slackware 9 but I would prefer to switch to Gentoo for the portage advantage. I am guessing I am missing some sort of step that the LILO install for slackware does behind the installation interface. Thanks, Jon
