[gentoo-user] GHC and documentation

2007-08-14 Thread Iván Pérez Domínguez
Hi, I just checked that GHC has no use flags other than doc. My first question is: can its documentation be generated without having to compile ghc? Shouldn't its documentation be included as a different package? (ghc's doc use flag pulling ghc-doc as a post-installation dependency). Cheers,

Yesterday I was sent [1] a new kernel config through this list that solved the main problem I was suffering. A new one has shown up: the kernel module i810_audio detects my sound card. Even alsa detects my sound card (alsaconf shows it's name). However, I cannot access card #0, alsamixer is

I don't know why, but unloading all sound modules and running /etc/init.d/alsasound restart was enough to solve the problem. I don't know if it'll come up again when I restart my computer. Iván Pérez Domínguez wrote: Yesterday I was sent [1] a new kernel config through this list that solved

In the official portage there's a package called dev-haskell/network. It does absolutely nothing (it even says that). Why is it there? What is the purpose of having that package if it's not a virtual package that, btw, ghc could provide? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Kernel hangs after detecting the hard disk

Hi again, I'm having another problem, this time it's a kernel related problem. I'm currently using kernel 2.6.13, and most things work fine. However, when I try to update to a newer kernel (say 2.6.17 or 2.6.20), my laptop hangs after detecting the hard disk. If I don't use initrd, it stops

I'm currently using kernel 2.6.13. I tried to download newer versions, but using the same configuration leads to many warnings that claim that some symbols my .config talks about do not exist anymore. What can I do to find what should be changed? I tried reviewing the kernel documentation, but

I'm coming with a very strange problem here: My systems freezes completely when I try to get an IP address using dhcp. I have an ipw2200, and it used to work perfectly. The main problem in these kind of situations is that there's nothing I can do to check what failed. Any ideas on what to do?
