Re: [gentoo-user] Enabling DMA on SE7520BD2S
I'm using Intel Server Board SE7520BD2S with 3 disks, 2xSATA WDC WD1200JD-00H (sda sdb) and 1xATA133 Seagate ST3120026A (hda). SATA disks seem to work fine (though they show some warnings during tests), but I can't enable DMA on /dev/hda. I've had this problem on two systems so far. The solution, for me, was to compile *into* the kernel support for the respective mobo chipsets: nvidia for one, ali for the other. Does by respective you mean that youre motherboards have nvidia and ali chipsets? I know that this problem is usually caused by not compiling proper drivers in. Well mine motherboard is based on Intel E7520 chipset. Does youres was too? But I did as you said and compiled in once nvidia, then ali, both of them, but it didn't help. Well I tried few diffrent combinations of drivers before, (I've even compiled all drivers in ;} ), but it didn't help too. There are too many posibilities to gues the right one, moreover I think that it maight be sth somewhere else? I forgot to mention in last post that I use vanila-sources-2.11.11 with no module support enabled and grsecurity patch.

Thanks, Catalin Hi, Has it melted yet? Keep some thermal compound at hand! Have you tried the i8kutils? emerge i8kutils Great for fan manipulation but don't tell Dell ;-) Designed for the Inspiron 8000 series but works on other models too. Works great with my Inspiron 5150 running 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 kernel. You need to compile the i8k module in the kernel: Processor Type and featuresDell laptop support. Only got it to work when I put : i8k force=1 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Hope this helps, Rob -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] The new apache2
Hello, I've been on the new apache2 layout for some time now via ~x86. It looks like it's now marked stable so I'd like to remove the ~x86 keyword, but after that I get this: [blocks B ] dev-libs/apr-util (is blocking net-www/apache-2.0.54-r15) [blocks B ] dev-libs/apr (is blocking net-www/apache-2.0.54-r15) Should I unmerge those packages? I thought they were important for apache? - Grant 2.0.54-r15 is still old-style. We had to use a revision higher then what the current new-style was because we had to do a security bump and were already at -r9 (new-style used to be anything -r10 and above, and was using -r10 through -r14). To fix this, we made -r15 old-style, and jumped up to -r30 for new-style. If you are running old-style, please upgrade to -r15, as it's a security bump. If you are running new-style, you should upgrade to -r30 (which also fixes the security issue). Note that new-style is still in ~arch, and will remain there until Sept 18th. -- Michael Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got it, thanks Michael. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You still do your own kernel and you can EITHER use GRP packages OR compile them yourself. I know, but the quote you removed was about using stage 3 to save time to have a running system asap.

Well, something is very wrong with your system, but of course, you knew
that already! The configure blew up at this point:
configure:32976: checking for thread implementation
configure:32985: result: posix
configure:33079: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -march=pentium4

./configure: line 33085: 24663 Segmentation fault ./conftest$ac_exeext
configure:33087: $? = 139
configure: program exited with status 139
Basically, gcc had a memory fault compiling a very simple program that
configure was using to determine the features of the threading library.
Normally the only time gcc segfaults is if you have bad
hardware...faulty memory is the most common cause.
The (somewhat simplified) program that configure tried to build was:
#include pthread.h
int check_me = 0;
void* func(void* data) {check_me = 42; return check_me;}
int main() {
pthread_t t;
void *ret;
pthread_create (t, 0, func, 0);
pthread_join (t, ret);
exit (check_me != 42 || ret != check_me);
}
If you save the above lines to a file (like testthread.c), you can try
building it with:
i=0
while test $i -lt 1000; do
printf \r$i
gcc -O2 -march=pentium4 -o testthread -pthread testthread.c
results.txt 21
test $? -ne 0 break
i=$(( $i + 1 ))
done
The above shell script will build the program 1000 times. My guess is
that it won't compile more than a few times.
If so, I suspect hardware problems:
1. Dirty/bad CPU fan. Try blowing out your system.
2. Bad memory. In addition to memtest86, there was another (and better)
memory test script discussed on this list some weeks ago. Search the
archives, or maybe someone else can provide a link.
3. Bad power supply.
Also, assuming that you have ACPI thermal zone support in your kernel,
you might want to monitor the processor temperature with:
while sleep 1 ; do cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature; done

Again: the command for --emptytree is in the Progressing from Stage2 to Stage3 section of the Gentoo Handbook The Gentoo 2005.1 Handbook does a stage3 install so that section is SKIPPED. Please note the prelude to the 2005.1 handbook: Welcome to the Gentoo Linux 2005.1 Handbooks. These handbooks are released together with the Gentoo Linux releases and contain the necessary installation instructions to install Gentoo Linux 2005.1 WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION. However, IF YOU WANT to install Gentoo Linux using THE LATEST VERSIONS of all available packages, please USE the Installation Instructions in THE GENTOO LINUX HANDBOOK for your architecture. Have you got it now??? (Sorry about the added SHOUTING, but I am sick of repeating myself) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade
Hmm. Another insteresting thing: Why did portage re-install the same version of mailman (r4) over and over? daevid init.d # genlop -l | grep mailman Thu Nov 11 10:26:07 2004 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r2 Sun Nov 14 18:12:48 2004 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r2 Mon Jan 17 14:36:05 2005 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r3 Fri Feb 11 16:58:33 2005 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4 Sun Feb 13 17:57:01 2005 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4 Wed Sep 7 11:34:36 2005 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4 Mon Sep 12 15:48:09 2005 net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4 daevid init.d # genlop -l | grep exim Sat Nov 13 16:09:25 2004 mail-mta/exim-4.42 Thu Jan 13 12:19:16 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.43-r2 Mon Jun 13 13:21:37 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.50-r1 Mon Jun 13 16:41:18 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.43-r2 Tue Jun 14 12:34:58 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.43-r2 Sun Jun 26 12:18:26 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.50-r1 Thu Jul 7 00:57:45 2005 mail-mta/exim-4.50-r1 So if I read this correctly, mailman-2.1.5-r4 has been installed and re-installed several times. But around Sept 7th is when it stopped working. I have mail from the list on 9/5 for sure. I'm fairly certain that exim is not to blame here, as that hasn't changed in over two months. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Didn't you say in one of the original posts that you had tried to re-install mailman? That would explain the sept 12 entry. As far as the Feb 13th entry, would you remember if you had reinstalled on the 13th, whether purposely or as a result of an --emptytree, or perhaps resumed a previous build failure, or some sort of revdep-rebuild that decided, on the 13th, that exim needed to be rebuilt? The dates are somewhat conspicuous, in that they do not occur off hours (as a result of some sort of automated emerge --update process via cron). The would seem to indicate that you had manually done something to trigger the re-install -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] OT: Any interest in a postfix/milter bridge?
I'm currently running postfix as my mail system. Unlike a recent post which assumed that postfix was overkill compared to sendmail, I tend to feel the opposite, that sendmail is bloated much more than the more simplified postfix. However, when looking for spam blockers, virus checkers, and other message processors, you will typically find multiple sendmail milter implementations as opposed to the postfix filter implementation. Having investigated the milter API and having constructed some milters myself, I currently believe that it should be possible to build a postfix-milter bridge. The milter side of the bridge would support the milter api for compiling sendmail milter-based filters. The postfix side would simply need to wrap a simple smtpd/smtp process that: a) receives mail on the smtpd side. b) pushes the mail through the milter via the bridge api. c) sends the output of the milter back into postfix via the smtp side. Obviously there are some timing issues, etc., to deal with as well as whatever implications there are re: providing a milter-like API for postfix, etc. But assuming these could be resolved, is there general interest in such a beast? Or am I the only one wishing I could integrate tools like MIMEDefang into my postfix email system? I would estimate the building of such a tool to take about 200 hours by leveraging existing smtpd/smtp open source code, and am happy to invest that time if there is some apparent interest in the community for such a tool. I'm just a little leary of investing that amount of my time if there is no real interest in it, just as I would not be willing to invest my time in restoring a Pinto ;-) Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
