Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel failures

I can compile the kernel (vanilla 2.4.24) but when I reboot the machine I get the following error: no reiserfs filesystem on ... and the machine hangs. Any suggestions on what I can do about this? Kind regards, You need to make sure that reiserfs is selected in the kernel configuration. It is under filesystems. It used to be if you didn't select CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y at the beginning of the config, that the reiserfs option wouldn't show, I don't know if this is still the case. Hope that helps. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Correct time on my system, but with all the changes and rebooting the date was one day ahead. corrected now. I did notice when changing it with the kde tool kcmshell clock that it was changing the time zone to UTC -- I think this was likely causing my troubles yesterday. I think someone else mentioned that on the list yesterday. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If at some point in the past, you booted the system with UTC in /etc/rc.conf and then switched it to LOCAL and shut your system down. It saved the offset time as the local time. Essentially, your system clock was set back 8 hours. The only fix is to manually update the time yourself using 'date'. And then deleting /etc/adjusttime ? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list I have sort of solved my problem, but not completely. My link to my time zone at /etc/localtime had disappeared, when I re did that and deleted /etc/adjtime my system was back to normal. After rebooting again today, however again the /etc/localtime link had disappeared. Any suggestions as to why this keeps getting deleted? Is there anyway to track what program is deleting it?

I had this happen some time ago, and instructing Linux that the hw clock is in local time solved the issue. I've never really understood why it is that Microsoft does not allow a UTC hardware clock. Because of daylight savings time, having the hardware clock set to localtime causes the actual hardware clock to be reset twice a year. This can result in flakiness with any process that happened to be waiting for a time to occur at that instant. My solution, which isn't particularly good, is to run any dual boot machines in UTC and tell windows that my timezone is Greenwich Mean Time, and set it to not adjust the clock for daylight savings. I would rather have to deal with times in GMT than have random intermittent flakiness. Now that we are done the debate on M$ vs. linux I hope? Does anyone know the answer to my original question.

In rc.conf I have the clock set to local time. Where else can I look for this problem. I don't want to keep correcting this. Any chance it's a dual-boot w/ Windows? Windows doesn't treat time correctly. Yes it is, but I am pretty sure until the last month that this system was keeping the correct time. Perhaps it dates back to the last time I did an update of the baselayout? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Word wrap non-html
It would be really nice if everyone on this list would use the word wrap feature of their e-mail program, and also not send their e-mails in html. This list has been fairly nice about it, but in most linux lists they will take your heads off if you send stuff without these. Thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think I saw something that they took the e-builds off, I can't remember why. I have dealt with this problem by backing out the install make uninstall in the winex directory then change to the /winex/docs/samples directory (that may not be the exact name) and work on the wine.cfg example there. I change the info there to reflect how I want to set up the c drive, and then I rerun the install.

Postfix has correctly resolved the machine name peter to peter.ruskin through the use of /etc/hosts - probably through a glibc call. My guess is that postfix is configured to specifically get the A record from DNS for security (rather than simply asking for an IP) which /etc/hosts does not provide. I haven't got time right now so I can't do it myself, but check postfix to see if you can turn off DNS checks. I think there's some sort of option to turn off canonifacation (or however you spell it ;-) which may fix your problem. Jason I solved the same problem on my home network by appending the following line to the main.cf in /etc/postfix directory. disable_dns_lookups = yes Hope this helps. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
