Not sure what you mean here... The device.map file can be used when you 'install' the grub MBR and (possibly) the stage1.5 files. So when you do a "setup hd0", it knows that corresponds to /dev/sda in the operating system. It should match the device order used by the system BIOS. At boot time, the ordering of hd0, hd1, etc is dependant upon the system BIOS. hd0 is virtually always the drive being used to boot. >From the grub documentation: " Note that GRUB does _not_ distinguish IDE from SCSI - it simply counts the drive numbers from zero, regardless of their type. Normally, any IDE drive number is less than any SCSI drive number, although that is not true if you change the boot sequence by swapping IDE and SCSI drives in your BIOS." One option you have is to drop into the grub shell on boot, and do something like: find /grub/stage2 That should list all drives and partitions where /grub/stage2 is found.

[gentoo-user] portage: config's
I use the /etc/portage/package.* files for unmasking packages.
Just curious if there were any packages out there to help keep those
files organized. Basically, if the package comes out of package.mask,
is there an easy way to take it out of those package.* files also.
Also, if there are packages in those files that are outdated... an easy
way to remove them.
For instance:
right now i have
=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5 ~x86
in my /etc/portage/package.keywords
When it comes out of ~x86 ... is there a script to just clean those out?
If not I'll probably make one, but i'd rather not reinvent the wheel.
Thanks.

Yeah, I don't know why someone would ever think that
STRING="a.txt b.txt c.txt"
made STRING empty or undefined. Or why substituting in the value "b.txt"
would give the desired "a.txt c.txt".
(Hi Zac! :P)

However, it actually leave an extra space in the variable, which got
swallowed by your shell since you didn't quote the expansion. Following
the above with:
$ echo "${STRING/$REMOVE/}"
a.txt c.txt
You might try either including the leading or trailing space in REMOVE or
running the string through shell expansion (as you did by calling echo
without quoting the expansion)
The original poster might want to look into bash arrays, esp. since the
${VARIABLE/MATCH/REPLACEMENT} expansion doesn't work in sh either (so we
are already into bash-specific shell), AFAIK.

I am 99.% sure this is when I get new email. I can close Mozilla a while and then when I open it and it gets my new email, as soon as it finishes getting them it flashes my screen red.

RE: [gentoo-user] udev/initramfs problem
The current kernel build process is simply: # genkernel -- menuconfig --install all make.profile=2006.0 gcc=3.4.5-r1 When in the ash shell environment, I notice that there are few static nodes in /dev. ( i.e. console, pty etc.) In this environment, I am able to load the modules manually, but still no device is visible in /dev. I note that the MPT driver structure has changed as well for this kernel - which, I have built both modularly and strait into the kernel. I have been doing a great deeal of reading and have found that klibc may be an issue, however, building older (2.6.12-r4) kernels works without error. Also noted here is that 2.6.12-r4 still has devfs features available. So, to answer your questions: - is the driver for the LSI controller compiled into the kernel? >>> I have built the driver both ways - if it isn't, is the module contained in the initramfs? Is it a module for the right kernel? >>> The module is contained within the initramfs and loads (manually) - and how is the module to be loaded by the initramfs? >>> My presumption is that the rules within 50-udev.rules provide for this. - is there a static or a dynamic /dev in the initramfs? >>> My best discription here is dynamic with a few static nodes present. - if dynamic, how is it managed? - what are the commands the initramfs uses to stage into "real root"? >>> I will look deeper for this one. Ultimately, when the time comes to pivot, the disk that would be /dev/sda is not available and, therefore, /dev/sda2 is likewise unavailable. I beleive that it is at the PCI level where this failure occures, because, if the PCI interface ti the controler were properly handled, then the scsi bus it provides would be available.

I don't get your point. Because it's quicker to learn 4 or 5 simple, small tools than it is to learn to crap that is EVMS. ;) Seriously, EVMS didn't really add any value to my setup, for more detail check my other post. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpIYxFqsWbTC.pgp Description: PGP signature

That's great information. I'm going ahead with the evms install on a box to use for a while to see if it's a direction I want to go in. Best way to decide if it adds any value for ME, I guess.

I've never needed any of the few additional features EVMS provides. (The only one that comes to mind right now is BBR, which modern HDs already do.) It /can/ make things a /little/ easier, since it allows you to resize a block device and the filesystem (or whatever) on top of it with a single (non-atomic) operatation. However, I didn't like any of the UIs provided by EVMS, I found them both too minimalistic in what information they showed by default, and cluttered with options I'll never use.

I know that none of this really answers your question directly, but I wanted to provide some background. I don't think that EVMS adds any features (= value) I (or most people) will use; I think its interface has less value than the interfaces already exist. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpbYsGa9KQer.pgp Description: PGP signature

I naively thought "the bigger / the better" and I don't really need something so big... Could that be that the power consumption of the stick increases with the volume of the files on it ? Which would explain the correctness of the first tests (with small files) and the problem when the key holds a bigger file...

[gentoo-user] udev/initramfs problem
Title: udev/initramfs problem
We have several dual cpu systems - half intel, the other half AMD.
For our purposes, we are building to the i686 arch.
The hosts with the below described problem are running on Tyan mother
boards with LSI Logic SCSI controllers embedded in PCI-E bus.
We rescently upgraded to the 2.6.15-r1 kernel and life is great on the
systems that use the adaptec scsi controllers. However, LSI Logic does
not appear to be seen by udev or, more likely, initramfs facilities.
Consequently, no root device is found.

Wait, it worked before under Linux? I don't think you mentioned that previously. Was this on the same computer? The other possiblity I can think of is that this is a difference between the USB 1.1 vs 2.0 interfaces. I noticed it is the uhci driver that is interfacing with the device. Does the computer have 2.0 ports, and if so, do you have the EHCI driver enabled? Have you tried a different port? Is this plugged in directly, or through a hub? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That doesn't work. This does:

$ REMOVE="b.txt"

[gentoo-user] Way OT : DDR2-667 Memory and Heat Issues
I'm thinking of getting some 1GB Ram Module of the newest 667Mhz Memory. Then I came into this article in the inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=31041 [SNIP] On one Intel booth, the demo showed how, at full speed, a 1 GB DDR2-667 SO DIMM in a "thin and light" notebook reached an awfully hot 85 degrees Celsius case temperature ... ...certain temperature limit is breached, throttles the DIMM speed down, say 50 per cent for instance in this case - from 667 MH to 333 MHz effective throughput. [/SNIP] if this is the case, why the heck would I want to get a 1GB 667 Memory Module which is like USD25 pricier than a 533 Mhz 1GB module?

Thanks Mike, I'll try it when I get home. However, I would still like
to find out why the ~/.xsession solution does not work . . .
especially as I am not using KDM.
Another Q: I have more than one boxen and would like to use the same
gpg key. Should I just copy over the ~/.gpg directory, or is it more
involved than that? For the same purpose would it also be feasible to
save .gpg on a USB key and use it on other machines or is there a
security risk in doing this?

Digging for the id of your device 1043 8006 reveals a linux kernel mailing list archive thread: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.0/0023.html with the identical problem: the device worked in some computer and not in other. I see two possibilities: a slave controller chip incompatibility or insufficient power problem, device wants to sink more current than port actually provides at +5V. Port should provide up to 500mA, while many notebooks are very weak at usb power and do not keep up the standard. To eliminate the first one, you should seek for the computer (or maybe an external usb hub) which will work with that chip. To eliminate the power issue on your equipment, you can try to measure consumption at the +5V with some prepared usb cable or even try to feed the device from an external power source. You will need laboratory equipment to do it (A regulated laboratory power supply with current limitation). Ask some electronics engineer. As a first aid, try an external usb hub with it's own power supply. 1G flash chips require a lot of power to operate, and not having enough is consistent with your symptoms of "no media". -- Petr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't think so : the 32MB is consistent with the database at http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids , if not with reality. The problem is wether or not this database has some influence... The first time I saw those 32 MB (a few days ago, when the key worked and was almost empty), df -h told me there was 1006 MB left on the key.

Never give up.
Try hexdump on the device above:
hexdump -C /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Drive
Here is an example of mine, having partition table with PT boot code at offset
0 and FAT16 boot sector at offset 4000hex with msdos/windows boot code (it
was formatted in W2k). If you don't see any of the like anywhere on the disk,
it is possibly encrypted on-chip or broken. You may even see some windows
virus on your PT and/or fat boot instead of boot code. If you have no valid
partition (since your fdisk fails on it) but able to find your FAT somewhere
on the disk, it is possible to reconstruct, but I advise to dd whole disk to
file before. To seek the boot sector of the volume, look for the signature 55
aa hex at end of sector, just like mine are at offsets 01fe-01ff (pt)
41fe-41ff (fat boot). Sector size is 512==200hex.
