I have no idea if there's any tool out there that will make this easier, but it's simple enough to script it, something like this should work: qlist -I --nocolor | while read pkg; do if [ ! -d "/var/portage/$pkg" ]; then echo "$pkg is not in portage" fi done This will not catch overlays, but it could be easily extended to do so, it's just a generic (and untested) example. It should work I guess. It just dumps the list of installed packages, then tries to find a dir with the same name under your portage directory and if it doesn't exist then the package name is printed. -- Jesús Guerrero

I also found odd inconsistencies copying .kde3.5 to .kde4 Kopete has twice reordered my contacts akonadi integration with kmail was flakey system tray icons come and go as they please and various other oddities that don't happen with new users It would seem that a largely vanilla 3.5 config migrates to 4 with low risk.

You wouldn't want to use oldconfig in a big jump, say from 2.4 to 2.6, but for incremental versions it is the best approach. There is far more chance of you messing things up in a new, from scratch config than using oldconfig. > Not to mention the great whack of new options.

That's version jumps like 2.4 to 2.6 The 2.6 development model is small incremental steps, so the odds are always in your favour that it will work just fine. Occasionally you might find two versions that don't like to play nicely with oldconfig but that isn't the norm. FWIW, I haven't encountered a single problem with the entire 2.6 range. But then again I don't do version jumps on the order of 2.6.9 to 2.6.15, it's more like 2.6.30-r6 to 2.6.31 -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I think one of the problems is I installed KDE 4.3.X and all of that may

I tried installing a qt overlay. I tried unmasking a more advanced masked

recommending several magical incantations. Nothing seems to get me beyond

This is from the kernel sources: if (sys_open((const char __user *) "/dev/console", O_RDWR, 0) < 0) printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning: unable to open an initial console.\n"); In the dark ages, before udev, /dev/console had to be created in the bare /dev directory (i.e. before anything is mounted on /dev) to prevent this sort of error. I thought it had been solved, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Of course, I'm not sure I don't get the same warning, but if I do it flashes by so quickly I can't read it. The message clearly states that / is mounted readonly, but that test for /dev/console is asking for read/write. Maybe that's why the test fails, dunno. And I don't know if that warning is important. Nowadays udev uses a tmpfs in RAM to populate /dev with devices, but at the point your kernel panics, that tmpfs doesn't exist yet, so you are stuck with the /dev directory on / including its readonly status, I'm assuming. Anyone else know?

Do you have a /dev/sdb? If so, try setting root=/dev/sdb1, and see if
that works (sometimes the kernel changes its initialization order around
between x.y.{z,z+1} releases).

As a matter of fact they are not recognised because restarting kmail
results in all the filters which were manually pasted in KDE4 kmailrc
being deleted ... o_O

Reading this useful page:
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi
the problem may be with me selecting Redland instead of Sesame2
because I do not have/use Java. Hmm ... wonder if this is also why
