I had put my question on this list two or three weeks ago, and Mark Knecht was kind enough to take an interest in it. Now, I have made some progress and the problem is different. To summarize: on my G4 iMac, Yellow Dog Linux 4.0.1 is installed on the HD, and I want to install Gentoo on a FW drive. I have more or less done it, using the 2005.0 universal disk. The problem now is that Gentoo does not boot: I get the message Cannot open root device sda11 or unknown-block(0.0). Please append a correct root= boot option. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0.0) (and, by the way, the colours of the screen are very strange).

[gentoo-user] AMI - Primary Master Hard Disk Error??
Hi ho Gentoo-ers,
Why can't I boot??? Why can't I boot... Why? I do not even get as
far as a grub message.
I've just now installed Gentoo 2005.0 for the second time on a
brand new Pundit-R machine. (ATI chipset, Celeron-D 533 FSB, 256MB)
Both times the install went absolutely fine and both times the machine
came up lame with the following AMI BIOS/boot messages:
Auto-Detecting Primary Master..IDE Hard disk
Auto-Detecting Primary Slave..ATAPI CD-ROM
Pri Master: IBM-DPTA-371360 P74IA30A
Ultra-DMA Mode 4, S.M.A.R.T capable and status OK
Pri.Slave: TOSHIBA CDW/DVD SD-R1612 TB02
Ultra-DMA Mode 2
Auto-Detecting USB Mass Storage Devices
00 USB mass storage devices found and configured
Primary Master Hard Disk Error
Press F1 to resume
I've never used an AMI BIOS before. What's it complaining about? It
sees the drive but says the drive has an error? What's that mean
exactly?
If I press F1, reboot using the 2005.0 install CD then the machine
hangs, so I did the install using:
gentoo-nofb ide=nodma
If I reboot the same way I can eventually ssh in:
The drive is there:
livecd root # fdisk -l /dev/hda

livecd root #
Since this machine is intended to be a MythTV frontend only I didn't
much care about hard drive performance so I used an old drive I had
here to save some money. (I only need 5GB or so for this machine and
you cannot buy anything smaller than 40-80GB these days so I'm using
an old 13GB drive that was in a machine we trashed 6 months ago.) The
machine is intended to be on all the time and mythfrontend seems to
make very little usage of the hard drive once the app is up and
running.
The partitions mount fine while using the LiveCD. The boot partition
is marked bootable and the OS is there:

livecd root #
So the big questions are:
1) What exactly is this AMI BIOS message telling me?
2) Is it possible that an older drive might not be supported by the
IDE controllers in the ATI chipset? (I.e. - can the chipset simply not
talk to the drive?)
I tried disconnecting the CDRW/DVD completely to see if it was a
conflict between the two EIDE devices but go the same failure. the
drive is seen but does not boot.
Anyway, I'm hopeful that someone might have some first hand
knowledge what this message is really telling me is wrong. I have one
other old hard drive that I could try but that's a couple of hours of
work I'd rather not go through if there's a simple fix to this. (Like
some BIOS setting, etc.)
Thanks in advance,
Mark

If not then you could load them from an initrd. Genkernel will create an initrd for you. Simply add your Firewire modules to the MODULES_FIREWIRE variable in /usr/share/genkernel/ppc/modules_load and then run genkernel initrd to generate the initrd (add --udev if you're using it). The initrd file will be placed in /boot and hopefully you can configure your bootloader to use it. Add dofirewire to the kernel command line in order to make the modules load. You may also need to add scandelay in order to give the modules some time to initialize. I do something similar to boot from a usb drive on x86.

Re: [gentoo-user] AMI - Primary Master Hard Disk Error??
Thanks to all who answered. In the end it was the specific hard drive that caused this problem. I happened upon an 8GB drive that still had an old Fedora installation on it. while it didn't work, with that drive in I had no problems booting or running grub. Fedora started booting and then died for numerous hardware reasons. Armed with that info I blew away the partitions, installed Gentoo from scratch and 3 hours later have a working Pundit-R sitting atop my TV.

[gentoo-user] difficulty installing gentoo on AMD sempron
I have installed gentoo a few times without difficulty, but always on
pentium 4s. My son is installing it on an AMD sempron and we are
having trouble involving i686 vs i386.
In make.conf we have
CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPT=-j2
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
We used the install-x86-minimal-2005.0.iso live CD
and downloaded
stage1-x86-20005.0.tar.bz2
We unpacked the tar and ran bootstrap.sh
The compile of glibc fails trying to access the file
/etc/env.d/gcc/i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5
The file does not exist. Instead we have the file
/etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130
The directory /etc/env.d/gcc also contains two config files
config
and
config-i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5
These files are identical and contain one line
CURRENT=i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5
I realize that the bootstrap builds the compiler twice and we did
define PORT_LOGDIR, but I don't have the machine available now. If it
is needed to send some output from one of the logs that can be done.
Thanks in advance,
allan

[gentoo-user] Random crash
Hi there. Right now, Im typing this in webmail because none of my Mozilla products are working right. And now that I think of it, Gaim is doing the same thing. What happens is: I start the program (firefox // thunderbird // gaim) After what seems to be a random time, it suddenly closes. At first I thought it was a priority issue, so I set every process to 0, while setting each of these programs up to -20. It didn't work. I also restarted the computer, and updated firefox and thunderbird (emerge -u), with no effect. I have no idea whats wrong.Can anyone offer any suggestions? Its really a pain to use webmail. Im using Konqueror by te way, which is working fine. Im on KDE 3.4.0, and Gentoo 2.6.9-rc1-mm2. (I have not upgraded the kernel or DE recently.) Thanks in advance! Ian __ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Mark,
You only need to get back libstdc++.so.5 ;-)
Are you sure it's gone? Mine is in
/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5 and if yours is
still there then you can run ldconfig to fix it
(/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3 should be in /etc/ld.so.conf).
If it's really gone then you could get a libstdc++-v3
binary package and untar it. If you have
FEATURES=buildpkg then you might have a tbz2 in
${PKGDIR}/All. If you don't have a tbz2 you can use
quickpkg from the gentookit package to generate tbz2
from a working gentoo system.

Zac,
There are now about 5 different bug reports on this sort of thing
all since yesterday. I don't understand how this happens on a new,
stable system. I thought that was what ~x86 was for!
OK, I'm not a guru here. Far from it. You're idea sounds reasonable
but I don't know how to do it and the one attempt I tried didn't work.
So it goes...
One of the bug reports said to find the path to libstdc++.so.5,
add it to/etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig. I did that. However
then it says to run gcc-config 1 which fails bitterly. After all that
I'm still left with the same problems:
localhost root # emerge sync
/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
localhost root #
QUESTION: Could I just go back to the LiveCD and reload all of the
stage 3 files, etc., and somehow get back to where I was before I
started the emerge system step? My thought is that if I just get the
machine back to where it was then I can wait a few days to do this.
Question is what's the simplest way to get there?
Thanks,
Mark

I just read your other post on this subject and realized that I
needed a path to the file and not the path including the file. Now:
localhost root # gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130
* Switching to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130 compiler... [ ok ]
* If you intend to use the gcc from the new profile in an already
* running shell, please remember to do:
* # source /etc/profile
localhost root # source /etc/portage/
-bash: source: /etc/portage/: is a directory
localhost root # source /etc/profile

And now emerge info works!!
Thanks so much!!!

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Installing on Firewire drive?
Charles, I'm very, very lost looking at this Yellow Dog stuff. I think I'm going to be no help at all. Please excuse me if I get it totally wrong. Up front I cannot help with the unknown-block(0.0) part. When I've seen the message you're getting coming from grub on my x86 systems it generally means that I've messed up what drive I've told grub to look on. Making the assumption that what ever is being used here instead of grub works the same way as grub then the question that comes to mind for me is whether the firewire drive is really sda? 1) Are your other drives called hdX or sdX? 2) Does this boot manager have the same capability as grub to allow you edit at the command line within it like grub? If so then you can do something like (sd and hit tab. If it works it would give you all the choices it believes you have. If it tells you sda sdb then you try (sdb and hit tab again and it would print a list of partitions. Possibly what you are thinking of as sda11 is readlly sdb11, etc. Wish I could help more. BTW: My interest is in 1394. I helped write some of the IEEE specs and use 1394 a lot myself. good luck, Mark On 6/4/05, Charles Trois [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had put my question on this list two or three weeks ago, and Mark Knecht was kind enough to take an interest in it. Now, I have made some progress and the problem is different. To summarize: on my G4 iMac, Yellow Dog Linux 4.0.1 is installed on the HD, and I want to install Gentoo on a FW drive. I have more or less done it, using the 2005.0 universal disk. The problem now is that Gentoo does not boot: I get the message Cannot open root device sda11 or unknown-block(0.0). Please append a correct root= boot option. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0.0) (and, by the way, the colours of the screen are very strange). On my other Linux, I can mount whatever is on the FW drive and inspect it. In this way, I have found these bits: --/etc/yaboot.conf as written by Gentoo on the FW disk: boot=/dev/sda9 device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sbp-2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: partition=11 root=/dev/sda11 timeout=30 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot image=/boot/kernel-2.6.10 label=Linux read-only --/etc/fstab as written by Gentoo on the FW disk: /dev/sda11 / ext3noatimes0 0 /dev/sda12 /home ext3defaults0 0 /dev/sda10 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdb/mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 Looking at this, I don't see how /dev/sda11 could be wrong.

[gentoo-user] Grub nonsense
My $million advice. Go to www..gnu.org, and just download the Grub source and compile it. Just make a note somewhere on your copy of the Gentoo manual (you did print it out didn't you? haha) that grub is not in the emerge system. Problem solved. Once you know where all of grub resides (locate grub | less) in Gentoo (slocate -u as su beforehand), you can easily get rid of it when Gentoo finally gets its acto together and concocts a decent ebuild.

[gentoo-user] Where to find ebuild info?
Howdy, Over the past few months since my first gentoo install, I have yet to discover how do I find out the current state of masked ebuilds. I.e., I'm looking for 1) why are they masked, and 2) any known issues with the build. I can look up the package on packages.gentoo.org, but can't find this info easily. Yes I can go thru the change log and the bugs, but these are for all versions. Takes time to sort out. Most of the time, I'd like to know if this masked for testing ebuild already has some known issues (particually critical ones) and is awaiting the next version or is it really just waiting for enough people to bang on it?

I now realize that Gaim, Firefox Thunderbird are all
GTK, and Im using qt-gtk-engine. That must be the
issue.
Can I get these things to work though with QT-GTK,
because GTK without a theme -- well, no one deserves
to see it. :)

Looks like something is wrong with
~/.gtk_qt_engine_rc.If you can't fix it you could
delete it and start from scratch ;-) I've used
gtk-qt-engine in the past with no problems.
For KDE users, Mozillux has some really nice themes
for firefox and thunderbird:
