Re: [gentoo-user] Any newer Gentoo install CDs?
To boot my linux, I faced a JMicron eSata/Pata controller problem, that prevented my SATA disk from being recognized. = I had to use a 2.6.23 kernel, founded on the gentoo forum. (the knoppix latest released I used were 2.6.19 !!!) Do you also have a JMicron controller ? Is there any other solution for this or is the only Linux support going to require AHCI? It is unfortunately not reasonable or practical to switch BIOS options when choosing which OS to boot. snip Of course it is not. You will be able to run linux without any problem with a recent kernel and all the required modules without AHCI. But you may be able to run AHCI in both linux and windows too. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface Quotes for Windows issue: Enabling AHCI in a system BIOS will cause a 0x7B Blue Screen of Death STOP error (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE) on installations of Windows XP where AHCI/RAID drivers for that system's chipset are not installed. Switching to AHCI mode requires installing new drivers before changing the BIOS settings. and for linux side: AHCI is fully supported out of the box for Microsoft Windows Vista and the Linux operating system from kernel 2.6.19. Older operating systems require drivers written by the host bus adapter vendor in order to support AHCI. Common problems switching to AHCI under Linux: * AHCI controller does not work on AMD/ATI RS400-200 and RS480 HBA when MSI is enabled due to a hardware error. In order for AHCI to work users must provide the pci=nomsi kernel boot parameter. With MSI disabled in this way, the PCIe bus can only act as a faster PCI bus with hotplug capabilities. This is also true of the Nvidia nForce 560 chipset. * AHCI controller on AMD/ATI SB600 HBA can't do 64bit DMA transfers. 64-bit addressing is optional in AHCI 1.1 and the chip claims it can do them, but in reality it can't, so it is disabled. After that it will be forced to do 32bit DMA transfers. Thus DMA transfers will occur at the lower 4GB region of the memory, and bounce buffers must be used sometimes if there is more than 4GB of RAM. Gal' -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

If not, loading the module should also create the file in /proc. The question wasn't dumb.. but the operator on this end sure is. My only defense is that the HOWTO doesn't mention any of that.

On Monday 7 January 2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Should I have compiled them directly into the kernel? Well, this is usually a matter of debates. For iptables stuff, I generally compile everything into the kernel, but I'm sure there are people who can find good reasons for using modules. So, it's ultimately up to you. If you want iptables to be active and working all the time, then I think you can compile its stuff into the kernel. It would be nice if someone who uses modules also showed his reasons for keeping it as modules, so you could get a better picture and make a more informed decision. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

If the modules don't get loaded (lsmod is your friend) and everything works fine, throw them out of your configuration. Nice... a small question: how do you keep up with what gets installed? Do you ferret them out at /lib/modules with cmds like find . -name '*.ko' Or is there a log created at compile time.. or maybe create one like make modules_intall mymod.log. Just thinking outload. Following a `genkernal all' I saw a very big list get installed but didn't think to log them. I guess it would be harmless to just run the `make modules_intall' part again and catch a list.

[gentoo-user] emerge of ksh93 erroring out.. who can interpret
I'm having a time getting ksh93 to install (build error at the end)
USE='static' emerge -v ksh93
The only other use flag coming up was `nls'
I wasn't real eager for `static' necessarily but without `static' had
already failed and I saw it was a possible flag. Also it might be
handy sometime in a trouble situation where only `/ ' is mounted.
But that discussion is for some other time.
Can anyone interpret this emerge failure and have some educated
guesses what I should do to get it to compile. That message follows
the eix output below.
My feeble take on the message is that it is related to the compiler.
eix shows two installed and I guess that may be the problem:

[gentoo-user] Incredibly slow disk access

Re: [gentoo-user] Incredibly slow disk access
Check the options for your chipset in the kernel - look at device drivers and ata/... devices. Looks like its just defaulted to the minimum as it hasnt seen what chipset you are using. Also consider moving to libata - seems better where I have tried it.

[gentoo-user] FreeAgent extn. Drive setup ideas

I assume it has NTFS by default. I have all of the legacy doz file systems enabled along with idonify in the kernel. I want to use it on both gentoo and windows systems for a variety of tasks. What the best way to set it up (ideas) so as to ensure what I copy onto the drive, form either gentoo or xp I can copy off onto a gento or XP based system? Should I delete any of the original stuff that Seagate installs on the drive? Also, I'm thinking about a udev rule or fstab entry on the gentoo system to uniquely identify the drive as I often attach several usb(stick or drive) devices to one system at any given time; so I'm looking for a scheme that they will each be unquely recognized (Labeled? any caveats?
