[gentoo-ppc-user] help with pcmcia wireless networking not reconnecting after sleep
Hi, I've tried posting about this on the forums but haven't gotten anywhere, can anyone help with this problem? I'm using a Netgear WG511T Atheros pcmcia card for wireless networking on my G3 Pismo powerbook, i've got the networking set up ok but when the laptop goes to sleep, eg when the lid is closed, the network card gets powered down (lights are off when in sleep), and when the computer is resumed from sleep the card is not connected any more, when power comes back on it has one light lit on the network card. I have to run /etc/init.d/net.ath0 restart as root every time i resume from sleep. I think in a previous incarnation of my set up (earlier packages, earlier kernel) it would resume from sleep and be connected, but not sure how it was set up at the time (card still on during sleep?). Does anyone have any suggestions about what the problem is, how it could be fixed, how its supposed to behave (is the pcmcia card meant to be off in sleep or not?), or where to start looking for answers? I'm running pbbuttonsd to handle sleeping, not running pmud (not installed), there is no /etc/init.d/pcmcia script in my set up (is there meant to be?). Its very hard to figure out what the problem is because I have no idea what is supposed to trigger network connection after resuming from sleep, is there supposed to be a trigger in one of the scripts in /etc/power that causes networking to be restarted? or does it magically set up the connection again some other way? thanks, Anthony -- But I ned tacos! I need them or I will explode! That happens to me sometimes. (Gir) -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've tried /dev/hda,c and e as being root upon rebooting, and every time I get a kernel panic. I'm not totally sure why, but I've been looking into the config to make sure I have things enabled properly (already found that I hadn't put support for my IDE interface, but that wasn't the only problem) Any other gotchas? I'm completely new to the Mac hardware, so this is kind of bewildering to me! Writing in to give more details - I do have the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST set in the kernel, and hda is still showing up as hda. I also do not see any lines in the boot reporting that the hard drive has been detected (though they scroll by pretty quickly and it's hard to tell - is there a way to see what the dmesg was for a kernel that didn't finish booting due to a kernel panic?) The panic is the famous Cannot open root device hda8 or unknown-block(0,0). Well, the cdrom doesn't have an hda8 of course, so this isn't surprising. What I'm attempting to discover is what I am missing in the kernel config to get my hard drive correctly supported. Further suggestions?

If I could prepare an embedded Gentoo image for my router with the applications of my choice that would be grand. I'm currently running a heavily customized OpenWRT (Kamikaze, i.e. development tree) on my WAP54g, wich only has one ethernet port and WLAN AP facilities and has only 8MB RAM/2MB Flash and also a damned broken TFTP boot (doesn't initialize the PHY correctly). But it works :-) My suggestion for gentoo-running fellows would be to check out the development tree (using subversion) and just build the image from scratch. It's not more complicated than configuring (they use the buildroot environment from busybox, which is based on Kconf) your kernel and you have plenty of options. Remember to put your router in a state where the bootloader looks for an image via TFTP first before booting the flash root image, and then just experiment happily away. There's always the option to go back to the original firmware, so no worries. Don't think, however, that you'll have an easy time to mock up Gentoo to crosscompile for that environment, though it should be possible, of course. If you are happy with what OpenWRT offers by default (and there's plenty of packages!), just use a ready-made image and install packages using the ipkg tool. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't remember exactly what part of gcc was compiling at the time of the hang, but I found switching kernel versions helped. According to top, kswapd0 was very busy, basically using up most of the systems resources. Ssh'ing in was very slow due to that and the gcc compile. I stopped and restarted it twice after letting it run over night (8+ hrs). Normal compile time is genlop -t gcc about 4hrs and 15mins. sounds like the classic low memory situation to me. You run real low on system memory, then swap, and kswapd has to work real hard to (I assume this one) 'defragment' if you will the memory pages and keep as much free memory available as possible. sometimes, this manages to slow things down so considerably that the program causing the problem just hangs, trying to get more memory, and the rest of the programs on the computer vie for limited resources, so things like ssh go real slow. just a thought, in that you're running on a pentium, have you looked into distributed compiling and crossdev? It can't get tthe performance you'd probably like out of your computer, but it might do a decent job getting compile times down into the realm of tolerability.

[gentoo-user] Telling emerge to continue when something goes wrong
Hi, After installing Gentoo in different machines several times, I wonder if is there any way to tell emerge to keep installing as much as possible even when something goes wrong. Here's an example: emerge stuff1 stuff2 stuff3 emerge says the following packages will be emerged and so on. Alright. Then stuff1 fails to compile. I'd like emerge to continue trying to install stuff2 and stuff3 when possible. I know I could write several emerges in different lines (something like emerge stuff1; emerge stuff2; emerge stuff3), I just feel like this feature should have an option of its own in emerge (i.e. --keep-going-as-far-as-possible). This could be very handy when updating world or, in general, when the emerge is going to take a lot of time and you decide to leave, expecting everything to be merged when you come back.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: ATI Radeon 9550
James and all, thanks much for the help, however I have called it a day with this ATI Radeon 9550 card. I lost several days troubleshooting the thing, and every corner I tuned ran into another problem. Torture! Brought the card back to the store, replaced it with an Nvidia based card. Emerged Xorg and the Nvidia drivers and have already completed the successful test of Xorg and the bright and shinning nvidia logo as it started brought a smile! This was more like it should! I know Nvidia is not perfect, but they have yet to fail me. I will stick with them in the future. Now my son waits anxiously for KDE to build.

The main point is that, in my opinion, that feature should be included in emerge itself. Your line has a problem: it won't skip the first package in your line, it will skip only the first package to be emerged, which may be a required dependency to build another package, propagating an error in one compilation to later compilations. Even worse, some package could get installed without one of its dependencies. Ivan. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I have successfully installed a WinXP SP2 guest in vmware-player, using easyVMX for building the virtual machine config. Everything works well, except for networking. The problem is, Windows complains the ethernet card has no drivers, so it refuses to connect. Googling, searching vmware forums etc. didn't help.

Sure there is. Have a look at the emerge man page, there 's lots uf useful information. portage also has a nice man page. emerge --resume --skipfirst --skipfirst requires manual intervention after emerge has failed. I think the OP is asking for something that just continues without intervention. You would, of course want this command to be nice to dependencies, otherwise you'll break something. I've often wondered about such a feature during emerge world. Especially when it breaks in the first few packages. In a case like this (indent showing dependencies): pkg-a pkg-b pkg-c pkg-d emerge would build in the order pkg-b pkg-a pkg-d pkg-c.

[gentoo-user] Re: [Xen] How to set or bring up vif interfaces?
I would like to have Xen to run unmodified OS (Windows, and some other Linuces). I know Linux may be ran Xen-aware, but the goal is to experiment some kernel packaging, so that I need to use the distribution kernel. I got the FC5 isos. I made a file /etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg (see attached) But the problem is about vifX interfaces. Neither http://fr.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XEN#Windows_XP nor http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo tells how to bring up such interface. In fact I dont see anywhere any documentation on how to setup networking for the need of Xen. Actually, you just have to start xend, and it will setup xenbr0. But i prefer, to setup xenbr0 manually, by myself. And that's the way i do it, in /etc/conf.d/net: bridge_xenbr0=eth0 config_xenbr0=( a.b.c.d/24 ) routes_xenbr0=( default via a.b.c.d ) brctl_xenbr0=( setfd 0 sethello 0 stp off ) When I run Xen, I have: asus ~ # xm create fc5-guest.cfg Using config file /etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg. VNC= 3 Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. bridge-utils is already emerged. vnc is also emerged with USE=server What didi I do wrong?
