Unmerge'ing dev-lang/python-2.3.2-r2 first ánd manually rm -fr'ing
/usr/lib/python2.3 (with an ldconfig -v after that) did the trick.
Seems to be an instance where the safe unmerge'ing of previous versions
doesn't work.

 Hi everybody,
 
 I saw early today a post that was saying that to see all the packages in 
 the system, something like rpm -qa, exists a command qpkg -I -v. I 
 tried this command but it seems I don't have this command in my Gentoo. Is 
 there a package I should emerge to use qpkg ?
 
 Thanks in advance !

 Hi!
 
 after some tryal i could manage having a running kernel 2.6-beta2 with

 lvm isn't working any more. Is it missing from this kernel?

Yes, lvm has been removed from the 2.6.x kernels. And I was unable to
find lvm patches for the 2.6.x series on the Sistina site, home of the
makers of linux-lvm.
There are two things you can do, both of which require you to include
the device-mapper in your kernel (in the Multi-device support (RAID and
LVM) section):
-LVM2
-EVMS (which is what I used) http://evms.sourceforge.net/

One thing that I did not find so easy with EVMS was getting my
/etc/fstab right. The rest of the installation instructions are rather
straight-forward.
The entries in /etc/fstab that worked for me were:

# - to be used with LVM (kernel 2.4.21) 

/dev/vg_gentoo1/lv_root_gentoo  /   reiserfs   
noatime 0 0
/dev/vg_gentoo1/lv_usr_gentoo   /usrreiserfs   
noatime 0 0
/dev/vg_gentoo1/lv_tmp_gentoo   /tmpreiserfs   
noatime 0 0

# -- end of LVM config 

# -- to be used with EVMS (kernel 2.6.x) 

#/dev/evms/lvm/vg_gentoo1/lv_root_gentoo/   reiserfs

HTH.

 So I was just about to implement LVM for several disks (6gig - 10gig) on my
 2.4.20 system. The question is: is this advisable for future
 compatibility..?
 
 I think I read here recently that LVM will be supported by LVM2, but what's
 this EVMS stuff..? I trust LVM(2) isn't being phased out..?
 
 Stroller.
 

EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) is just another type of
volume management. I believe it was originally developped by IBM, not
sure though.

As far as future compatibility is concerned, I think you'd have to check
with the respective developers of EVMS and/or LVM2.
Present versions of EVMS provide backwards compatibility with LVM1.

My impression is that with the introduction of the device mapper block
device in the kernel, things have simply been moved much more away from
kernelspace and into userspace.

Which one would be the best bet for the future, i.e. offer more
compatibility with the 2.6.x series?
Your guess is as good as mine.

As for me, I would not want to do without the flexibility that volume
management offers. So far I have only had positive experiences with LVM,
apart from the minor shock when I found out that it was no longer a part
of the future vanilla kernel series. 

So far I like EVMS as a replacement, LVM2 I haven't tried out yet.

Is there maybe a config file kept somewhere in /etc (or elsewhere) that

Which reminds me:
few weeks ago I was trying to get gentoo (tried both vanilla-kernel 
gentoo-kernel) to recognize my firewire DVD/CDRW attached to a Dell
laptop.

Only thing that did the trick was to put sbp2 in the
/etc/modules.autoload and then put into /etc/conf.d/local.start:
rmmod sbp2;
sleep 3;
modprobe sbp2;
sleep 3;
echo scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0  /proc/scsi/scsi;
modprobe sr_mod;

Because when the module was inserted by the bootscripts (because of its
presence in /etc/modules.autoload), it always resulted in sth. along the
lines of sbp2: Error logging into SBP2-device - login failed.

Anybody know of a better trick?

TIA

This below what you are having trouble with?

Also, note that you must compile in support for
 * input devices (Input device support-Input devices),
 * the virtual terminal (Character Devices-Virtual terminal),
 * vga_console (Graphics Support-Console...-VGA text console)
 * and the vt_console (Character Devices-Support for console...).
 * Otherwise, you will get the dreaded Uncompressing the Kernel
 * error.

btw, compile in support means that you need to have these *in* the
kernel and not as modules.

I think you will need a name-server for that, so that the lisa-daemon
can perform the required reverse-lookups.
