[gentoo-user] Instant reboot at grub stage 1.5
Hello, I'm stumped here, so i'm open for suggestions. My system refuses to boot fully. What happens is it powers on, and i see a very quick flash that says something along the lines of Loading Grub Stage 1.5, and then a reboot. This just continues in a loop. In the past few days, I was upgrading glibc to 2.4 and also to gcc 4.1.1. I was using the GCC upgrade guide. Everything went well until it was time to reboot. I did do an emerge -e world. I remerged grub, and used the grub console to reinstall. I have checked my grub.conf, it looks fine. It also does not have any trailing garbage (suggestion from others). I also recompiled and reinstalled my kernel, making sure it was compiled with gcc 4.1.1. Many times i got back in via chroot, and tried to reinstall grub, but to no avail. It sees the disks, it sees the partitions, it sees the filesystems. So I am not sure what to do next. I flung about 4 hours of time at this with no change. Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I checked session.save_path in every php.ini file I have on the system to make sure that session.save_path was indeed set to /tmp; it was. Any hints on how to fix this? A page here: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=a6485e9b9cc3edabb99c1ab2191d54a4postid=60002 suggests that you may being bitten by pre-existing session files, and if you delete or chmod 'em you'll be fine from now on I suspect some messing with umask may be needed too (note your original setup specified umask=0077). There should be something in the suphp doco about this sort of thing [ he states w/o looking :-) ] regards Mark Deleting it did the trick! Thanks. I should've thought of that... -Michael Sullivan- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Tomcat logging problems
Hi list!
I just tried upgrading from Tomcat 5.0 to 5.5 (since the former has been
p.masked since some time), and while it is working, I am experiencing
logging problems.
First of all, it refused to log anything at all, but I fixed that. It
appears to have been a typo in the init script -- it defined
java.util.logging.config.file as ${CATALINA_BASE}/logging.properties,
while it should have been ${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/logging.properties.
However, I fixed that, but found that it won't log the JVM's
std{out,err} anywhere. According to all documentation about Tomcat,
there should be two logfiles called stdout.log and stderr.log placed in
the ${CATALINA_BASE}/logs directory, but there aren't, and I haven't
been able to find out why. Has anyone else encountered this problem and
managed to solve it?
Thanks for your time!
