Re: [gentoo-user] what -march and -mcpu should I use?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
For a PIII with 256K of chace, your best bet is
CFLAGS=-march=pentiumIII -O3 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -mmmx -msse
- -m3dnow -fgcse-lm -funroll-all-loops -maccumulate-outgoing-args
- -minline-all-stringops
Admittedly, -march= will probably set many of the -m flags for you,
except for the -maccumulate-outgoing-args and -minine-all-stringops. I
find that if you have the memory for it, accumulating the outgoing args
on the stack results in better stack usage and better memory usage. If
you have large disks you can take the increase in code size. and
inlineing all stringops is helpful in many cases, not all, but many.
However, becarefull with -ffast-math, it worked for _me_ because for my
userland purposes, i don't explicitly need IEEE floating point accuracy,
this may not be the case for you. You will want to do some homework
before turning that one on.

fashion with respect to the memory usage and swapping of the running
processes resulting in swapping happening for a brief period sometimes
until the cache gets appropriately resized.
This is what I've heard from a few sources, but frankly I only have a

wouldn't mind a few emails, maybe even a thread to clear it up for me :) ).

No, the reason being is that the the proven CFLAGS from make.conf are

animal, and runs in a much different enviornment, therefore, CFLAGS that
are stable in userland may not be stable in kernelland.
Moreover, many ebuilds will filter flags out of your cflags, for

really, as long as your -march= is right, gcc will do the appropriate -m
(for whatever cpu flags your cpu has) options for you. However, the
problem is that because of the nature of what the kernel does, and
because of how close it is to hardware, and because of how intimately
intertwined it is with GCC, optimizations, other than the ones hard
coded into the kernel's makefile, become very dangorous.
For example, in your CFLAGS -O3 is perfectly safe, however, in the
kernel CFLAGS, it will cause mount to intermitantly trigger a kernel
oops on x86 archs.

Asked and answered. See (1) below.

1. Is there an ebuild for 2.4.22? If so you can use it to build your
own kernel. If you're asking why the CD doesn't have it - it's
probably because
the CD was put together before 2.4.22 was available.
2. If there is an ebuild - you can merge it and use it at your risk.
I imagine when the 2.6 series becomes stable and is released as such
we'll see it used on Gentoo CDs.
The 2.6 kernel series are still beta. You can emerge and build your kernel
based on the latest 2.6.0-beta6 (I run this kernel, and it is quite stable
for me) in the development-kernels in portage. You must, however, do a
little research about how to setup your system for 2.6. If your are
completely up to date with portage, you probably have no worries about
supporting software.
There are really only 2 gotchas:
1. You need to verify that your kernel config builds console support. This
is not automatic in the 2.6 kernels. Check your kernel config carefully.
2. You need to create the /sys directory and include the following line in
/etc/fstab (new for 2.6).

In version number only :) Many of the patches in gentoo-sources midigate many
of the issues that are being addressed in later kernel releases. For example,
the hash table collision problem in the .20 kernel was not a problem in
gentoo sources because the grsecurity patch provided sufficent randomization
to midigate, or at least make a collision attack excedingly difficult.
The reccomended, which is as close as you get to default is gentoo
sources.
I am starting to get hardware that wont run properly on
2.4.20-gentoo-sources - have to use gs-sources instead
2.4.20 gentoo-sources chokes on heavy load - multiple tasks at once,
whereas 2.4.22-gss runs smoothly on the same machine
(workstation/server)
This could be your configuration, i am using gentoo sources r7 right now on a
NFS Samba box moving around about 25 gigs / hour using ATA Hard disks, and
it has had no impact on the squid proxy clients, or the ftp web users.
Moreover, fluxbox still flys :)
For the most part gentoo-sources r7 is still just as good as the latest kernel
release. However, there are one or two pices of hardware out there that wont
run on it.

I think, there IS no default kernel in gentoo - i'm pretty sure you
mean the gentoo-sources (which you by mistake think is default).
Please choose any other kernel-tree, like -ac or the vanilla-sources if
you insist on using 2.4.22 - though I don't see any important reason for
changing from 2.4.20

Before you can emerge cloop, you have to have a kernel with zlib

What I had a hard time figuring out was... you can't have zlib compiled in
the kernel and have crypto support enabled (modules or otherwise). The
moment you enable crypto support, zlib is turned off automatically. Really
drove me nuts until I finally figured out what the hell was going on.

I'm trying to create a firewall using iptables. I want it to drop

address is 192.168.254.x. I'm asking before I do this because I'm
accessing the computer remotely right now and I don't want to cut myself
off from it. I'm thinking something like:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p all -j DROP
-or-
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Would either of these get me the desired results?
I'd be tempted to add a line of
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
That way any traffic you initiate from that box will be able to get back
in.
As someone else mentioned, I'd use the option of setting the INPUT policy
to DROP but make sure to set that AFTER you've setup the other rules.
So, it should be:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
Correct?

[gentoo-user] VMware workstation 4.0.1 Problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello, I've been having A persistant problem that is reproducable in linux
systems and windows systems in vmware workstation 4 and 3.2.1.
The problem occurs when a number of writes are attempted on the scsi disk
(the vmware virtual hard disk).
After many failures with a windows install, I tried it with the gentoo
live-cd, I found i could partion sda, however when I attempted a dd
if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda, In both vmware 3.2.1 and vmware 4 I get the
following entries in the log file:
backtrace after signal 7

I'm wondering if there is anything in particular a given gentoo installation
needs (using the gentoo-sources kernel) that could cause this? Or is it
simply a bug that is destin for bugs.gentoo.org?
Thanks
Steve
