I downloaded the newest Nvidia Beta Drivers and copied it over to /usr/portage/distfiles under the same name the in-portage driver had.

It's looks like a typical boot error message, Xen or no Xen. Verify that: * The kernel has the correct hard disk drivers compiled in * The kernel has the correct filesystem drivers compiled in * You are specifying the correct root device * Your root device contains a valid "/" filesystem. I would probably check in that order. Also, you are using "/" for the Xen entry but "/boot" for the other one. It probably makes not difference but it would be nice to be consistent. -- Albert W.

Crap! I totally forgot that I need ACPI support in the kernel for an SMP system to work the way I expected. I guess I can load my .config file, edit it inside menuconfig, and recompile the kernel.

Also, make sure you have the max number of processors in the SMP section of the kernel config set appropriately. Also, if you use /proc, then 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' or 'cat '/proc/interrupts' and use that to see what's actually enabled. Check 'dmesg' as well and see how many processors were found and brought up. I had trouble a year and a half ago with Hyperthreading on my Intel 531 not getting enabled. ACPI wasn't enabled and that was the problem. It's required for SMP to work fully, apparently. Of course, in the process, I found out that on this system I couldn't use a PS/2 keyboard since ACPI was causing an interrupt shuffle during the kernel boot and the keyboard lost the lottery.

Re: [gentoo-user] Panic at boot time after update kernel to 2.6.20-r8.
Thank you both Neil Bothwick andAlan McKinnon for the great help. Got this one working now. Still many features arn't working yet such as alsa and wifi but I think I will make it now. The driver I needed seem to be AHCI SATA. Was rather difficult to identify that that is the right driver because lspci states: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04) and you can't find 82801 in .config Also it seems to me that the driver should be statically loaded and not as a module (which now makes sense unless I could have changed things in modules.conf or similar).

[gentoo-user] should dual-core Pentium Processor Extreme Edition be recognized as two processors or one?
I'm setting up a fresh Gentoo box, which is based on a Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840 (Smithfield = 2 Prescott cores) mounted on an Intel D955XBK board - it's that expensive dual-core deal with hyperthreading enabled. I am still working on the basic set-up for Gentoo, such as customizing USE flags, and haven't set up X or any desktops yet. I configured and compiled the latest gentoo-sources kernel - 2.6.20-gentoo-r8, and booted from it. Seems to run with no error messages or warnings. But when I load "top", it only lists stats about one processor. I thought that dual-core processors would appear as two processors in Linux, or 4 with hyperthreading enabled. When I set up the kernel, I did compile in the SMP support, enhanced RTC, and chose Pentium 4 in processor family, among other things. I'm attaching my current .config file in case there's something I missed. So would it be normal for a 2.6 kernel to recognize dual-core processors as "one" processor the way it appears currently in "top", or should they appear as two and I did something wrong in configuring? Thanks, Denis .config Description: Binary data

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems starting X
Hi friends, Johannes bro.. I can't give up with that, I know we can solve your problem, I feel it :D The most important thing is try, one more try and it's enough.. Uninstall the xserver, unistall the ati drivers check all configurations of your kernel.. Install xserver 7.1 and 8.36.5 ati driver manually.. run aticonfig --initial It's very strange to me it not work... I fell frustrated..

I thought that I would simply have to change the FQDM in one place in
mailman's configuration to change it for all lists universally, but I
guess I was wrong. It works now.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems starting X
Hi everybody Well the xorg server downgrade did not help either, so I abandon the cloesed source drivers from Ati and went on to try to install my S3 onboard savage graphic processor. This work almost instantly without any problems except for the fact that I experienced a lot of areas on the screen that was updated out of sync with the rest of the screen. Deciding that I could not work with that I tried the open source drivers for the ati card. I followed this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers and added these lines to my make.conf: INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" VIDEO_CARDS="savage radeon" reinstalled my x-server and tried to start x.

as you didn't post the relevant parts of your exim.conf I guess that you
didn't read the notes in the compile process of mailman. There you'd
have had the possibility to copy & paste the mailman-concerning entries
for the exim.conf, which I post as quotation below:

The integration works flawless and you don't have to fiddle around with
/etc/mail/aliases as you're supposed to with postfix and sendmail. Just
give exim the domains mailman is concerned with (very easy to set up
virtual domains with that) and it will figure out if the address is
concerned with a list or not.
