[gentoo-user] diskless machine
Hello! I've tried to setup a diskless environment based on this howto: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/diskless-howto.xml When the client starts booting and try to download the kernel, it says that it is not a valid image. Why? Thank you for your help in advance, Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried lunching firefox both with artsdsp and aoss, but when I load the flash page, first it produces sound, then firefox is freezes. I tested with http://www.kubrick2001.com site. If I start konqueror with artsdsp or aoss, it plays flash anim, but still with no sound. Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've tried to set up the things you suggested, but everything remained the same. I've tried it using blackbox instead of kde, and checked that artsd not running, but sill heard no sound from flash anims, though xmms and mplayer had sound. So I think it is not only kde problem. I also tried it from konqueror and firefox, with the same result. Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] no sound when playing flash
Hello List, I have two machines with Gentoo Linux installed, and one of them I don't hear sound when playing flash anims either in konqueror or in firefox. On the other machine I hear sounds well in flash anims. Other applications play sound well. I don't find any significant differencies between the two install, so I thought I ask it in this list. Where should I search for the solution? Thank you for your help in advance, Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Try the 7174 > version, some of the earlier ones had problems with udev. I've tried the version you suggested, but have the same result. But I found this in the kernel log: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device :01:00.0 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt :01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 201 NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005 What does this mean?

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia and X
> Hi, > > load the module before starting X. Hello, I got three answers to my question, and I answer now for all of the three here: Istvan, Hermann: I installed the nvidia-kernel ebuild, and I load the nvidia kernel module before starting X. # lsmod|grep nvidia nvidia 3469788 0 agpgart34508 2 nvidia,via_agp I realised that I have another nvidia kernel module: /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko Unfortunately X doesn't start with this module either. Neil: Yes, I know that the new version of Nvidia driver does not support my card, when I tried to install it warned me about it. So, I put those two lines into the package.mask file, and I installed nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 and nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6. I think, that X complains not about the kernel module, but the nvidia module of Xorg, which is located in /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o and part of the nvidia-glx package. Here is some part of the X log: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] rev 21, Mem @ 0xf400/24, 0xf600/25, BIOS @ 0xf5ff/16 (II) NVIDIA X Driver 1.0-6629 Wed Nov 3 13:14:07 PST 2004 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset NVIDIA GPU found (II) Setting vga for screen 0.

[gentoo-user] nvidia and X
Hello List! I have a videocard of this type: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) I installed nvidia-glx as it is described in the Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml ) When I start X, I get the following error: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! If I change the Diver section in the X config file from nvidia to nv, X starts up, but without 3D support. Thank you for your help in advance, Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I will try the rpm version also, but first I have to migrate from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. Bye, Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] smart array 642 monitoring and hot-swap
Hello List! Is anyone using this type of controller? I have this in our server, and it works well, except that I can't monitor it at all, and the hot-plug doesn't work either. I read the documentation of the cciss driver, and it says that the hotplug function works only for sequential drives (tape). Is it true? Is there any way to use the hotplug functionality of this controller under Linux? Thank you for your help in advance, Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
