Re: [gentoo-user] kernel panic - SCSI

The other thing you could try is turning off hotplug via rc-update. I'd even go as far as turning of devfs and run MAKEDEV and see if your problems come under control then. I had and have serious issuses with devfs with reguards to AMI scsi raid cards and onboard audio using alsa... If you dec

Forgive my top-posting... First, point /usr/src/linux to the 2.6.0 kernel sources that you have. Second, if you do this, you won't be able to boot any kernel other than 2.6.0 kernels. Good luck. On Thursday 18 December 2003 06:40 pm, Makurin Roman wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

[gentoo-user] Scripts don't die...

I've noticed of late... If during the boot process the runtime script /etc/init.d/gnump3d is started and sometime during the session I don't need it I can manually issue the command; /etc/init.d/gnump3d stop and the actual daemon will die as expected. However, if I atempt to restart it du
