Re: [gentoo-user] Changing system from single to dual CPU ?
Might I suggest trying the following prior to your normal (I assume genkernel) build process. cd to /usr/src/linuxyour version as root type make mrproper This will ensure that your build tree is pristene. Now you should be able to run genkernel without problems. ---BeginMessage--- I have an Opteron 242 system, to which I recently added a second processor and some more memory. I figured that to take advantage of that processor, all I needed to do was recompile to kernel, reboot, and set -j3 in the make.conf file. However, there must be something else, since when I try to compile the kernel with smp, I get a whole bunch of errors like this when I run make: dandelion linux # make CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/compile.h CHK usr/initramfs_list CC arch/i386/kernel/process.o In file included from include/asm/mpspec.h:5, from include/asm/smp.h:18, from include/linux/smp.h:19, from include/linux/sched.h:26, from arch/i386/kernel/process.c:18: include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]' CC arch/i386/kernel/semaphore.o CC arch/i386/kernel/signal.o In file included from include/asm/mpspec.h:5, from include/asm/smp.h:18, from include/linux/smp.h:19, from include/linux/sched.h:26, from arch/i386/kernel/signal.c:10: include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]' AS arch/i386/kernel/entry.o CC arch/i386/kernel/traps.o In file included from include/asm/mpspec.h:5, from include/asm/smp.h:18, from include/linux/smp.h:19, from include/linux/sched.h:26, from arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:15: include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]' snip for brevity, the last one is: In file included from include/asm/mpspec.h:5, from include/asm/smp.h:18, from include/linux/smp.h:19, from include/linux/sched.h:26, from include/linux/module.h:10, from fs/smbfs/smbfs.mod.c:1: include/asm/mpspec_def.h:78: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]' LD [M] fs/smbfs/smbfs.ko -- So no normal end to the compile. This is with gentoo-sources 2.6.14-r5. I can't upgrade that right now for other reasons.

Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 corrupted after power cut off when emerged world
Why the --newuse portion of the command line did you change your system or otherwise modify your USE variable? Looks like you were interrupted during install of a package (specifically baselayout). I see that you have re-emerged baselayout with no luck. If you are like me, you don't empty /usr/portage/distfiles until ...

Re: [gentoo-user] Is anyone using initramfs on Gentoo?
I do hope you have read the appropriate documentation. In the Gentoo world, we have a thing called genkernel. Genkernel receives a lot of bad publicity sometimes but it realy is a nice tool if you graduate from the simple command line. Under genkernel you have several options for building either kernel modules initramfs In fact, the default under 2.6.x kernels is to build an initramfs for you. it will also install the entire mess for you. And make the Correct entry in your grub.conf Here's the magic. if you go in and take a look at the scripts that make up genkernel, you will start to see that you can create any type of initramfs you like.

Re: [gentoo-user] no net modules will load
It would seem that you failed to configure the necessary modules for loading any of the modules you list. Also, as of kernel 2.6.13, devfs is no longer in the kernel and you must use udev. without it you will never get your devices to be recognised. I do hope you kept your old kernel around so that you can boot to it. ciao On Fri, 2006-04-28 at 19:34 -0700, maxim wexler wrote: Hi group, After running -Du gentoo-sources, I noted that /etc/modules.autoload.d/2.6 had been overwritten by a blank form.

[gentoo-user] devices not being created at boot time

Gentoos boot/install cd does not recognise this hardware (It's using 2.6.15-r5) This is true using both the x86 image and the x86_64 image. However, booting to 2.6.12-r4 (devfs/udev hybrid) works fine. HELP!
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Postfix Woes
OK, Here's how this works. Many (nearly all) primary SMTP servers on the Internet will not forward your email. The reason for this is because your ip belongs to an ISP (this means your IP is a client IP on the ISPs net). Well, one day, many moons ago a bunch of very intelligent folks got together and figured that letting people run their own mailservers was a goot way to propagate spam. So they put together a database of (among other things) ISP-Customer IPs. This is where it gets good. You see, now that you are part of the crowd, ALL of those SMTP servers on the net will see your server as an email source and drop your stuff on the floor. Pretty cool huh?
