[gentoo-user] hdparm question

[Khan]

hello,

bash-2.05b# hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   3100 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1550.24 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate
ioctl for device
 Timing buffered disk reads:  170 MB in  3.02 seconds =  56.28 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate
ioctl for device
bash-2.05b#

I think that here is something wrong. What Can I do to Fix it.

Tnx

[gentoo-user] Gentoo 1.4-rc3 on Dell Latitude C800

[Ubaidul Khan]

Hi

I am new to Gentoo. I was trying to install 
Gentoo 1.4 rc3 on my Dell Latitude C800. I tried booting up with 
the:

gentoo-3stages-x86-1.4_rc3.iso
gentoo-basic-x86-1.4_rc3.iso

In both cases, the network card (Xircom CardBus 
Ethernet 10/100+Mode 56) is not recognized. I tried the steps listed on 
the documentation:

I tried insmod and modprobe, but no 
dice.Is it essential to have the network card configuredduring 
the installation? Any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. 
 

Re: [gentoo-user] bootstrap.sh missin in 1.4-rc3?

[Ubaidul Khan]

/usr/portage is empty. I don't see a scripts 
directory. All I see is a 0 byte .keep file.

copyingand extracting stage1-x86-1.4_rc3.tar.bz2 to /mnt/gentoo.
