[gentoo-user] alsa issues
trouble loading snd-intel8x0 for soundcard modprobe snd-intel8x0 results in ... FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 not found yet it exists as... /lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r4/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko Could this be a bad alias in modprobe.conf? If so how do I fix it?

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.4 -> 2.6 wierdness, solved!

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.4 -> 2.6 weirdness
Nope, it's definitely udev. I have verified that genkernel does compile the agpgart module and create the /dev/agpgart as a symlink to /dev/misc/agpgart on the real filesystem. But when the udev 'populates' /dev it then mounts over top of the real /dev tree and the new /dev/ and /dev/misc/ have no agpgart present. Even if I compile in the 2.6 system, the links created are short lived as they die and udev rebuilds on next boot. I have no idea what to do next. Creighton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.4 -> 2.6 wierdness
Okay, let's start over. I have only posted the first post of this thread, but I would say that all off the noise may imply that I am not alone here. -I have a working setup in 2.4, less so now than before, but xorg does still work. -in 2.6, xorg will break and complain that /dev/agpgart does not exist. -/dev/agpgart, in fact, does not exist when using Udev in 2.6, yet it does exist when I reboot into 2.4 -modprobe agpgart will result in an error -genkernel --udev --menuconfig all will not show me an option that refers to AGP anything, is this a bus? -I run this in an old HP Pavilion, 500 Mhertz Celeron, 128 meg ram with i810 onboard chipsets, Xorg originally autodetected everything including the resolution of my Komodo monitor. I didn't know it went that high. -I tried compiling the kernel directly once and got a kernel panic, I don't remember if AGP was mentioned in that case.

[gentoo-user] 2.4 -> 2.6 wierdness
Trying to Migrate to 2.6. But when I reboot into my new genkerneled system, I cannot use X.org anymore, it complains about agpgart not working. Even If I modprobe the kernel mod or even compile it in directly it rejects it. Any Ideas on how to proceed? Creighton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Printer setup tool
I restarted cupsd with debug2 and produced way too much data, the
following seems to be the inportant part. It would appear that the wise
poster was correct that Ghostscript is the breaking point. Should I just
emerge Ghostscript?
