No tab completion with grub

2007-04-01 Thread Wilco Beekhuizen
Tab completion in grub doesn't work for me. Is this a known problem for anyone? Hitting TAB just gives a number of spaces. Also backspace gives an escape sequence instead of doing backspace. This happens in text-mode, X, with the linux terminal, xterm, aterm, etc. I have no (at least found) other a

Well this is strange since I don't get this error (or warning) and I don't have /boot/System.map or anything like that. Maybe because I am using BSD scripts? Don't know but does adding system.map fix things for you? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxf

Re: upgrading BLFS

2007-11-08 Thread Wilco Beekhuizen
Well updating GCC (or glibc/binutils) is not always easy. This is because everything else depends on these packages. Updating GCC 4.2.0 to 4.2.2 would not be too hard. The difference between 4.0.3 and 4.2.2 may be bigger. But you can try it. I've upgraded glibc before and haven't had any problems s

The easiest and probably best thing to do (I do it ;) is to use something like this in .bashrc for the lfs user: cd $LFS/sources sh stage1-static.sh 2>&1 | tee /mnt/lfs/sources/logs/detailed-stage1.log exit Of course your scripts need to be in $LFS/sources/[somewhere]. After the lfs user automatic

It seems like this is your sata controller: ATI Technologies Inc 4379 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) If you don't know what kernel driver you need you could: - Use google - Include every SATA adapter and check dmesg which one is really used then recompile with the one you really need! Good luck!
