So isn't the question to ask, what is there in baselayout that normally determines when udev starts (or whether it starts), and has that changed? The Changelog also implies that one really, *really* needs to do an etc-update (or dispatch-conf, or cfg-update, as you prefer) after updating baselayout-- is it possible that some config file didn't get updated, and baselayout is a bit broken as a result? I'd be too dumb if I try to post question to the list w/o doing what I should do, and attempt to solve the problem myself.

You should leave /boot as an ext2 partition. My guess is that grub only understands ext2 file-systems so can't work with your boot partition. No, it can understand reiserfs and xfs filesystems just fine. I've booted from both with the appropriate stage1.5. Plus we've also tried not using a stage1.5 to read the stage2 through the filesystem, loading the stage2 directly from the stage1 block map, without success. Folks, the problem here is that the /boot partition is around 60GB (!!) away from the start of the disk, and grub cannot read those sectors through Maxim's BIOS. That is what those Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS are telling us. Unless we can somehow change the BIOSs block addressing mechanism to allow him to read those sectors, there is not going to be any way to read the kernel from the disk.

PINNACLE TV RAVE with a serial cable ir sensor well, a problem I had was I had serial support compiled in the kernel, so the lirc driver couldn't use it. Try using setserial to release it (I don't recall the exact command, but it's somewhere in lirc's docs) and only then load lirc. The setserial service works I think that! And the kernel has the serial support... With the old MB I used the remote control... And the kernel is almost the same! In the BIOS the serial support is enabled. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but /dev/lircd is a way for the client programs to connect to the lirc daemon, it shouldn't be a link to the serial port. The lirc driver(what I thought was only a kernel module, or compiled in) should create /dev/lirc/0 or /dev/lirc0, and you should run lircd with that as the parameter. Also, mode2 doesn't need lircd, it reads signals directly from the lirc driver (/dev/lirc0 or /dev/lirc/0), Lirc creates a lirc device that it is a soft link to the serial port, I think that it is correct for my hardware...

Qian Qiao wrote: As u suggested, yes, my guess is udev isn't starting at the correct time. Well, udev is started by the /sbin/rc script, so maybe you want to take a look through that and see if you have some setting or file that tells udev not to start. Some of the things that affect udev starting are: RC_DEVICES in /etc/conf.d/rc 'noudev' kernel command line option 'nodevfs' kernel command line option Also, if you have /dev listed in fstab, the script will try to use those options for mounting. So if it exists, maybe you want to remove it and use the default options. Udev uses either ramfs or tmpfs filesystems, andthey should be compiled into your kernel, not as modules. Finally, if you don't have hotplug support in your kernel, you will have trouble with devices not being created when they should, particularly things that you have built as modules. I'd be too dumb if I try to post question to the list w/o doing what I should do, and attempt to solve the problem myself. So the answer is: yes, I've done the etc-update.

Daniel Bickett wrote: Hello, Yesterday I spontaneously decided to leave WinXP behind, and I burned a Gentoo ISO and installed it. It took me all night, being that I'm not experienced with these things, but here I am. The next thing I did was emerge X and KDE, as I wanted a windowing system, and this is where my problem begins. I used the config generator to acquire my xorg.conf (X -config if I remember correctly) and when I tested everything was fine: the curso was there, the background was there, it worked. But when I used Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit, my screen went into what I've come to call a color fit: sporadic colors asserted themselves across my screen in an equally sporadic manner. I was forced to reboot and try again, after which I discovered that if I wanted to get to this non-functional colored nonsense more *quickly*, I could just type startx. At this point I went to #gentoo on freenode for help. Just so I understand, does the color corruption happen when X is running, or only when you switch back to a console? Many people were willing to help, but I didn't get anywhere. Everyone had their own opinion on what I needed to do to fix the situation, and most of them had to do with my xorg.conf. No matter what I changed, however, I always got those crazy colors. At one point someone told me that my chipset, the Intel 82845, was notorious for having trouble with X, and another referred me to the XFree86 documentation. I eventually found the page for the driver my graphics card uses (i810), and I did my best to apply the necessary changes (http://xfree86.org/4.4.0/i810.4.html), but to no avail. You can see FYI, the x.org documentation is at: http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.2/doc/i810.4.html The one thing that seems a bit strange to me from your xorg.conf is: VideoRam 32000 # 32 megs in kb It seems to me this value should really be '32768'.

The reason I have used reiserfs and xfs on /boot is because that is what all my other filesystems were formatted with. Using the same filesystem for /boot reduced the amount of thinking I had to do when configuring my kernel, initrd, and fstab. Besides, you can format it with --journal-size=513, and with a 1k block size that is only 513k...not exactly a huge waste of space. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In review, your make.conf should probably contain the following (at minimum):
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
You can also try adding -pipe and/or -fomit-frame-pointer to the
CFLAGS variable, to get:
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
At a minimum, make.conf should contain:
CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j2
And don't forget to run mirrorselect -i -o
/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf and select a valid Gentoo mirror.
This is all laid out in the gentoo handbook.

I hope anyone of you can help me solving my problem. Thx. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G650 108MBit PCMCIA-Wireless lan card. I have an Acer Travelmate 524tx. I want to use this card to connect to a wireless lan at home. The card has an Atheros chipset. So I have installed the madwifi driver. First I jave tried to connect to the wireless lan over WPA-PSK. I did not connect. Then I have tried to connect to an open wireless lan. There I was successful but the I can't send or receive any data. A ping to the router returns the error message, that there are wrong data byte. Strange...from the ping data, it looks like the card fails to return some bits at a fairly regular interval. However, there are the things I would try, in order of most-likely to least-likely to help! 1. Disable G mode on the access point/router to force 'B' mode connection. Also, if possible, disable any 'turbo' mode options in the access point. Basically, we are trying to remove any data rates above 11Mbps. This does not work. 2. Try setting different channels on the access point. To get a quickly updating status on signal stregth and quality, you can use a command like: while sleep .5; do clear ; iwconfig ath0 ; done I have done this experiment. On all stages I got a Link Quality of ~40/94 and a signal level of ~-50 dBm. The ping does not work. 3. See if you get different results by pinging another host on the network. At all hosts the result is the same: wrong data byte by ping. 4. Remove IPv6 support from the kernel.. I try this. But it needs some time to compile the kernel and the depended projects like xorg-x11, qt, ssh, iputils, ... I will give you the results later. I doubt this is actually a conflict between the cardbus bridge and the G650 though. If that were the problem, I would expect lockups, lost interrupts, crashes, and so on. If this doesn't help, try browsing/searching/posting the madwifi-users list. I searched for packet loss which is where I got the ideas on #1 from. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=33958 The sourceforge website was down. I look at it later.

If you run top on a distcc node, can you see the compiler processes? You
might find something useful in this recent thread:

I have a couple of questions about using distcc. I have two machines. One

First, a big thanks to all who replied.
I've followed the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml instructions
for \
configuring portage to use distcc. Should I need to continue with the \
instructions for working with automake?
Portage does this automatically as long as you have the corresponding
FEATURES \
enabled.
This is what I was hoping to hear.
Also, how do I tell the faster machine to just use it's own power and not
\
attempt to use the slower one?
When you run distcc-config --set-hosts on the faster machine you want to
exclude \
the slower machine.
I tried so far, getting distccd running on both machines, each
distcc-config \
--set-hosts has one IP entry, that of the other machine. Is this right?
You may want to include localhost.
Interesting... I wonder why?
Well, sometimes you may not want to include localhost. Maybe it has enough
load \
already.
I ran distcc-gnome and saw no activity reported on the faster machine
when \
emerging something on the slower one. So, it would seem it's not working.
Can anyone give me some hints? The manpage for distcc doesn't seem (to
me) to \
be much related to the gentoo how-to... '-)
TIA,
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/make.globals
source /etc/make.conf
export DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/.distcc
exec /usr/bin/distccmon-gnome
So, I just installed a package on the faster machine. It did try to use
another, \
but found none and compiled locally, but spit out an error. Maybe adding
localhost \
will fix this?
If the faster machine isn't going to use any distcc nodes (other than
localhost) then \
you should remove distcc from FEATURES.
I tried emerging the same package on the slower machine and running this
script \
above. Nothing came up in it. However, I noticed that each time the compiler
went \
to run something, there was network activity. 'top' on the faster machine
showed \
distccd working and launching the compiler, afaict.
You can enable logging in /etc/conf.d/distccd.
So, I have to wonder if/why the monitors don't work for me...
export DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/.distcc works for me. Maybe it
will \
help if you use lsof to find out what files distcc has open.
Next time I'll just set the debug level and log location to see what actually
\
happened.
Thanks again, foax.

It's very easy to not see DISTCC processes in distccmon-gnome when using
emerge, since it uses a private DISTCC_DIR.
[Actually, this is the reason, I set up emerge with FEATURES-distcc
and export CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc instead.]

This is on 10.0.0.101, right?
You also have 'DISTCCD_OPTS=${DISTCCD_OPTS} --allow 10.0.0.101 on

I will be attempting to build the system from Stage 1 tarball,
however I'm still confused what my /etc/make.conf has to look
like. Would anyone give a sample make.conf or point me to a good
samples for Pentium 3 (Coppermine) ?
Please boot the machine in any version of linux (liveCD or whatever)
and execute cat /proc/cpuinfo and post the output here. Thats the
final authority on what CFLAGS to use. Here's what I suggest, assuming
that my PIII Katmai is basically identical to your system, and should be
applicable to Coppermine as well.
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j1
USE=-bidi -ipv6 mmx -nls -pam sse
There's a Canadian saying that if you give a man a fish, you feed him
for a day. If you teach him to fish, you feed him for an entire year, as
he collects unemployment insurance for several months after a few weeks
of fishingg. Anyhow here's a set of instructions that should probably
go into a HOWTO or FAQ somewhere. What makes Gentoo better is that you
can tweak it to take advantage of every little bit of your CPU's
capability. This means that it requires different settings for
significantly different cpus, and results in a steeper learning curve,
and it does give you opportunity to shoot yourself in the foot. Here's
the drill...
1) Boot the machine into any linux (live CD or whatever) and execute
cat /proc/cpuinfo info.txt
and save info.txt to a floppy or print it out, but have it ready as a
reference. You will need it.
2) Generic compiler optimizations, i.e. those *NOT* beginning with -m
For CFLAGS I suggest... -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
*PLEASE* use -O2. Otherwise, *YOU WILL NOT GET SUPPORT ON THIS LIST OR
THE BUGZILLA FORUM AND YOU WILL GET FLAMED BY GENTOO USERS WHO RESENT
BEING SMEARED WITH THE GENTOO RICER BRUSH*. -O3 is risky, flakey and
known to cause intermittent problems which can be damn hard to repeat.
-O4 or higher is like a ricer sticking a logo from a top-of-the-line car
onto a base model of the same car, and hoping to fool people. This
applies to gcc 3.x, which is the current series. *DO NOT USE EXTRA
GENERIC COMPILER OPTIONS* like -funroll-loops. The results are similar
to -O3.
For MAKEOPTS, I suggest -jn, where n = the number of cpu cores on your
machine. A dual-cpu system would have n = 2. A single cpu that is
dual-core is 2. Hyperthreading probably should not count, as it is
way overrated. The Gentoo manual recommends n+1, but I have run into
problems on an older PII machine using -j2, which were cured by
switching to -j1. A lower MAKEOPTS setting might slow down your emerge
(compile) sessions. *IT DOES NOT SLOW DOWN THE COMPILED PROGRAM*. It's
not worth the risk in order to save a bit of time at the compile stage.
3) For CHOST, refer to the info.txt file you created in step 1. Any
current Intel/AMD product works with i686-pc-linux-gnu. AMD K6 or
earlier, and original Intel Pentiums (60 to 75 mhz) should use 586.
4) CPU-specific compiler optimizations, i.e. those beginning with -m
First, go to the webpage for your compiler, and check the submodel
options for your CPU. For gcc 3.4.4 it's...
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/Submodel-Options.html#Submodel-Options
For gcc 4.0.0, it's...
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.0/gcc/Submodel-Options.html#Submodel-Options
Refer to the output from /proc/cpuinfo in step 1). It tells you what
CPU you have, so you know which model to compare against. Compare the
contents of the FLAGS line in /proc/cpuinfo against the list on the
webpage. Any flags that match can be used. In the case of the PIII,
the flags are mmx and sse. Add -mmmx and -msse to your CFLAGS line. If
you have any version of sse (including sse2 or higher) -mfpmath=sse is
also helpful. Do *NOT* use -mfpmath=sse,387, as it is experimental,
i.e. flakey.
5) I recommend -bidi and -nls if you don't want to build umpteen
locales. If you don't run ipv6, definitely select -ipv6. Someone, in
their infinite wisdom, decided to make ipv6 the default. If you don't
run IPV6, an app built with IPV6 support will first query via IPV6, wait
30 seconds for the request to time out, and then query via IPV4.
Painfull to say the least. I recommend -pam because I recommend against
PAM. PAM makes sense if you're running a server which is accessed by
multiple users. For a home desktop, or even a corporate desktop, it is
overkill. I believe that PAM belongs in the alternate security models
section of menuconfig, along with NSA SELinux, etal.
6) CPU-specific flags for the USE variable
Go to webpage http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml and compare the
list against the FLAGS line of your /proc/cpuinfo output. In the case
of a PIII, the mmx and sse flags are available.
