Re: [gentoo-user] Distcc problems...
all my systems running distcc are missing a few links to compilers in the distcc directories. Seemed to vary across systems. one was a link to cc (found when compiling ccze for instance) but it was always one of the less common calls. The fix was to create a symlink to the generic version. Check out /usr/lib/distcc/bin/ distcc and /usr/lib/ccache/bin/ if you are using ccache for missing flavours of gcc.

Yes,both my Windows XP and another linux os Redflag have sound. Is

In any case, you should probably use the separate alsa-driver from
portage, preferably the newest (unstable in portage) version. There
were many changes (some of them adding support for more devices for the
hda driver) that are not yet in the kernel ALSA tree.

I tried various things without success.

Is there anyway that I can use the Redflag's modules to driver my gentoo? Only by using its kernel, too. Then you would just copy the kernel (and initrd, if needed, but this might be a bag of problems if the initrd depends on stuff from the base system) from /boot and the according module tree from /lib/modules. I think it would at least be interesting what /proc/asound/version is like on the redflag distro. Also it would be interesting if they use in-kernel ALSA or separate drivers and if the latter is the case, then they might provide source packages -- which potentially include patches that add support for your device. Before trying all that: Did you had a look at the kernel log (use dmesg)? Were there errors or warnings around the lines that were printed when the ALSA driver was loaded? When you emerge alsa-drivers, also make sure that there are no stale in-kernel modules in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/sound/*. You can delete them manually, just run depmod -ae afterwards. Where can I get the audio related kernel log output? look at the output of dmesg (e.g. piping it to less: dmesg|less). However, for me (different card and all works well), there is zero output. You might change that by enabling ALSA debug output in kernel configuration, though... But I'm not sure whether that's worth it.

Doing a little recherche for the little I know about your laptop, I came across this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20707.html which seems to indicate similar problems which were partly solved by a newer version of alsa-driver. When experimenting with out-of-kernel drivers, always keep an eye on potential conflicts in /lib/modules/$(uname -r), and compare /proc/asound/version against what you think it should be. The thread also indicates that problems with HDA based audio is not a seldom thing to see. You can download newer versions of alsa-driver from their homepage and experiment with it in /usr/local/src.

Furthermore, by default kernel sources are slotted, so your old sources should still be in /usr/src And unless you have set the symlink use variable, /usr/src/linux should still point to your old sources. So in short: 1) You have not actually compiled/installed/booted a new kernel. So I am not sure what you are worried about. 2) Even after you compiled the new kernel, unless you explicitly remove the old sources (the suggested way is to rm -rf /usr/src/[insert directory here] followed by emerge --unmerge =the particular version of that source) it would still be on your system, so you shouldn't need to do anything special to 'rollback' W -- Pintsize: It's hard to get a lady to evaluate to true.

And of course acpitool gives me a random ACPI temperature: Battery #1 : charged AC adapter : on-line Thermal zone 1 : ok, 40 C PS: i followed all your suggestions concerning the microcode and fan option in the kernel. Could this be a problem of DSDT? regards, m On 10/10/07, Beso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2007/10/10, Marco Calviani [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Beso, sorry i misunderstood your suggestion. I did what you suggest and this is the result of the trip_points: critical (S5): 100C wow you don't have anything that says to the cpu to slow down when it reaches some point now, to add some other trip points you have to copy these in a konsole with root priviledges: echo passive: 78 C: tc1=3 tc2=1 tsp=150 devices=CPU0 \ active[0]: 68 C: devices= FN1 \ active[1]: 58 C: devices= FN2 /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/trip_points then do a cat on the thermal_zone/TZ0/trip_points to see if you've added the lines for passive and active lines. that means that when your thermal reaches 78 degrees it will slow down the processor. from 58 to 68 it will turn on the fan but don't turn down the speed of the processor, below 58 it will turn off the fan. which i suppose is the reason why at that temperature the laptop switch off. So, nothing except for the critical state. Should i have to add there something? if the pc turns down then it can read from somewhere the actual thermal point. you try to see after actually setting the things i've just said, if your pc is behaving as it should.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel rollback
Great, thanks a lot! Danilo 2007/10/13, Renat Golubchyk [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi!

Re: [gentoo-laptop] Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)
Beso, yes i'm always staying in powersave mode.. but in any case the CPU temperature tends to increase. I hope that the ACPI guys will work on this (hoping i'm not the only one experiencing these problems). The fans unfortunately are masked to the user in most Acer laptops, and they are controlled fully by ACPI. Thanks again, m On 10/13/07, Beso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i think that you'll have to wait a little more and always stay aware when using the pc till acpi supports it. i'd recommend to stay on powersave when using the processor extensively so that you'd not incur in hardware errors and failures. and it the fan is not starting try to modify it by command prompt via echo on /proc/acpi/fan/.. this will work at least the thermal doesn't reach the state when it would stop the fan, but since you don't have that point and that you cannot read temperature starting it via echo on should always stay on. you'd have some noise maybe, but you'd be sure that the processor would not run overheat. and hope that the acpi people would fix that in the near future. i'm sorry for not being able to help you more. and as an advice for the future: before getting a notebook in the future have some surf on the web to see if it's fully supported by linux (acer sells linux only notebooks actually but only from taiwan). i had my linux notebook not working with linux for 5-6 months and yet i had to change the wireless since it wasn't supported after almost 2 years. for what i know dell, hp and compaq are quite well supported. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It works by looking in */boot*for all files which start with *vmlinuz-*. They will be treated as kernels, and grub menu entries will be created for each. It will also create the initial *menu.lst* if none exists, after prompting the user. It will also add initrd lines for ramdisk images found with the same version as kernels found. e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5 and /boot/initrd-2.4.5 will cause a line of initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.5 or simliar to be added for the kernel entry in the menu.lst. - And no, you don't need it. Writing and maintaining your own menu.lst ( grub.conf) works just fine. -- - Mark Shields
