[gentoo-user] NVidia users: The Nouveau project needs your help
Hello folks, the Nouveau project works on free/opensource drivers for the NVidia graphics chips. As NVidia continously refuses support to opensource community and keeps necessary specs secret, we are forced reverse engineer their binary-only drivers. This is an very complex and time- consuming job. The Nouveau project has developed an special sandbox for the binary drivers, which us allows sniff it's communication with the chip. Several test programs send specific commands to the driver and record what's send to the chip. This way, spare CPU time can be used for collecting important data - even for non-hackers. We like to ask all NV users to help us by regularily running this testing system.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo GRUB help
I have an AMD64 system which I just installed the AMD64 Gentoo Image onto, following AMD64 HowTo. However, I am having trouble getting grub to find my kernel. I'm only using grub because of the warning about LILO (which I much prefer due to the device naming convention it uses) - I was using LILO under Slackware but that was 32-bit only, and not I'm using the 64/32 bit mix - so I'm going with what's recommended for now. The system is set to boot off of /dev/hdb2 (ext2) and use /dev/hdb1 as the root. I believe the boot device is hd1,1 in grub terminology. The system has 3 hard drives: hda, hdb, and sda; as well as a dvd drive (hdc). /dev/hdb2 has the following structure: - list of all my Slackware kernels - gentoo/bzImage - gentoo/bzImage_2-6-23-gentoo-r3 - grub/ Below is my grub.conf (minus comment lines): timeout 30 default 0 fallback 1 title Gentoo Linux root (hd1,1) kernel /gentoo/bzImage root=/dev/hdb1 title Slackware Linux root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 title Install GRUB into the hard disk root (hd1,1) setup (hd1) title Change the colors color light-green/brown blink-red/blue I installed it via: # grub grub: root (hd1,1) grub: setup (hd1) grub: exit All seems well. It boots and presents the menu, but then can't find the kernel when I select Gentoo Linux or try to manually run the lines.
