Re: [gentoo-user] recompiing kernel quesiton
Hi Pawel Kraszewski, Tks for your advice. First of all - you may try the installation CD of Gentoo - boot it and give 'halt -p' at command prompt. If it switches off, that means error in your config. If it doesn't, this might be the hardware fault. I made following 2 tests 1) Booted Gentoo install-amd64-minimal-2006-1 Ran # shutdown -h now (also tried poweroff) System halted but not poweroff 2) Booted Knoppix 5 Ran # shutdown -h now System halted and poweroff immediately. I think it is the problem of Gentoo not hardware. Put some light and describe your hardware. Especially - which motherboard model, drop your 'lspci' output. CPU - Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939 Motherboard - Asus A8N-VM, onboard graphic card, sound card and LAN Graphic card - Gigabyte - GV-NX66256DP2 DDR2 RAN 256bit, nVidia G-Force 6600 RAM -1G # lspci 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2) 00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2) 00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) 00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 (rev a2) 00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 (rev a2) 00:00.7 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 (rev a2) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP51 SMBus (rev a2) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev a1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev a1) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2) * end * Contents of '/var/log/dmesg' might also be helpful. The latter might be too big for this mailing list, so don't hesitate to drop it gzipped directly to my address. Yes, I'll email dmesg.tar.gz to your private address Pawel Kraszewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] later. Tks. By the way - did you inspect your BIOS settings for ACPI/power management misconfiguration? Yes on power management:- Suspend mode [Auto] ACPI 2.0 support [Enabled] ACPI APIC Support [Enabled] APM Configuration: Power button mode [On/Off] Power on by PMEx [Disabled] Power on by Ring [Disabled] Power on by Lan (MAC) [Disabled] Power on by RTC Alarm [Disabled] Power on by PS/2 Keyboard [Disabled] Power on by PS/2 mouse [Disabled] Restore on AC Power Loss [Last State] If you want, I may drop you my kernel configuration (AMD64, Nforce3 based mainboard) - due to my work it covers all usable filesystems and most IPv4 toys. It does switch off without problem - you may use it as a starting point for experiments. Yes please for my reference. Tks. B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Correct sequence for kernel generation/update is: Go to your new kernel directory and first get your running kernel config (if you enabled this in previous kernel): # zcat /proc/config.gz .config Now fix the config (observing which options have NEW at the end and consulting online help what do they mean) # make menuconfig or # make xconfig Now compile the kernel # make And install it # make modules_install # make install Afterwards you do nothing (if you have GRUB) or run lilo (guess, if you have LILO :) Take note, that some software doesn't work in monolithic kernel (meaning with modules disabled) - especially third-party binary drivers (nvidia, ATI, probably ndiswrapper) -- Pawel Kraszewski www.kraszewscy.net -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Mick Unfortunately, both HTML posting and 'top posting' are still switched On. Now I checked the option again and reload yahoo. Would it be better? Tks Remarks: This is a beta version of Yahoo.
