RE: [gentoo-user] SCSI module loading problem
You have three options 1. You must recompile the driver not to be a module. This is your best choice.. 2. If not, then your going to have to build a initrd. I guess gentoo has a buildkernel script that does this and works pretty good. But I have never used it,,, yet.. :) 3. The only way you can get around this is have a root partition on ide and load the modules up for the rest of the drives.. I am sure there are others but it gets kinda wacky.. :) Either option is good, 1 would be the easiest since you just have to get into kernel config and change it from module to internal. 3 is just silly but it will work.. I have done it before when a drive I had on a old computer wouldn't boot right and didn't want to have a floppy in it all the time. I don't like throwing drives out when they work.. :) Jeff -Original Message- From: Bruce E.

Re: [gentoo-user] SCSI module loading problem
I tried to recompile the kernel from my working system (SuSE 8.1), but no luck. I tried to make a boot floppy during the initial creation of Gentoo, but I guess the kernel is too big, and I did not discover the boot floppy did not work until I rebooted and needed it. It seems my only option is to reinstall Gentoo again and start over since menuconfig or genkernel wont from my working Linux. But is there another way? FYI, I hope to make a permante switch from SuSE to Gentoo. SuSE 8.1 worked great with my dual Athlon SCSI system, but 8.2 is broken, it wont load my SCSI driver, but 8.1 did. Go figure. Gentoo did detect it and created the partitions during install. Best Regards, Bruce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] SCSI module loading problem
Hi Bruce, compiling the kernel from your suse system is the wrong way, from my point of view. just boot with the gentoo cd and enter the chroot environment, like you did before. now you can recompile your kernel without reinstalling gentoo. regards thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: I tried to recompile the kernel from my working system (SuSE 8.1), but no luck.

Erm, the power of chroot negates almost all need to reinstall. Once you've chroot'd into your gentoo install from Suse, Suse doesn't exist anymore and you are using gentoo. Just boot into Suse, mount the partitions, chroot in and recompile the kernel, as per the installation instructions. - -- Mike Williams -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/aiL8InuLMrk7bIwRAoTBAKCfeBD6/W7Y+o3j/Y/c/7G7X3LWegCfUqQU Z8kO2g0DyV9+OYHYSglbck0= =U6Ui -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
