Re: [gentoo-user] grub on a SATA drive
So grub loads abd boots the Linux kernel, but the kernel can't mount the root FS on /dev/sda6. So /dev/sda6 doesn't exist for some reason, which could be one of: 1) There is no /dev/sda6 partition Huh? I just installed gentoo there. 2) You haven't compiled in support for your SATA controller in the kernel Yes, I wondered about that. Previously in the config options there were NV_SATA (this is an nVidia board) and another for Sil3114(my SATA controller), forget the exact option. That was for my earlier install when I was still operating from the IDE HD and using that to configure the SATA HD. This, present, install is using the latest gentoo.org offering. These options are nowhere to be found in make menuconfig, just a generic-looking SATA_CONFIG(something like that). In fact, when I boot from the install disk and do a lsmod all the appropriate modules have been loaded(except for the audio, which is easy to fix later), even forcedeth, another option that this mobo requires which was in the earlier config options but is now missing. The Panic _does_ occur at about the spot where the boot console is supposed to be finding the drive. Why would they put drivers in the iso but not the sources on the same CD? Weird. There are two ways of doing SATA on Linux, one is through the IDE layer, which is deprecated and I strongly recommend against, the other is using libata through the SCSI layer. So I'm at a loss. The grub commands went alright. Wouldn't I get an error if one of the commands was wrong? Don't know what's meant by unknown block (0,0). Is it saying it's trying to mount / on /dev/sda1? Doesn't make sense. That means it has no idea what sda6 is, that there is no such device.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub on a SATA drive
This means the kernel cannot mount your root partition (/dev/sda6 IS the correct setting for root). Either your root partitions's filesystem is not compiled into your kernel or you have not added support for your SATA controller. These must be compiled into the kernel, I realize that. not as modules. You need CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y Yes, I got that one. CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_YOURCONTROLLER=y NV_SATA worked(although SIL_SATA didn't, despite having a Sil3114 controller) before, but is not among the options(nor, for that matter, SIL_SATA) in menuconfig for this kernel. Is there a patch, I require? More paradox: the kernel among the sources on the CD is 2.6.12-r6, exactly the same as the one I had before on the Maxtor IDE, upgraded using emerge about a month and a half ago! -- Neil Bothwick DATA COMPRESSION: What You Get When You Squish An Android __ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] ghosting(?) a drive
Hello everyone, Just received a new, unformatted SATA 120G HD with the intention of moving my entire gentoo OS over to it from a flaky 120G ATA drive(reiserfs). Hopefully, I can just boot up from the new drive as if nothing had changed. Can anybody recommend any tool(s) for the job? Gotchas? Does SATA prefer a certain fs? -mw __ Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo in a tight placeWHACK-A-MOLE
You fix it here it breaks again over there :( Turns out the drive is OK(at least the file system), it was another drive on the same cable. But now grub wont work at all. Interesting, at first grub could boot xp and gentoo, then xp failed and now gentoo wont boot -- no matter how I set grub up, from the command-line, boot floppy, as a grub-install. It doesn't matter the partition either; there's either a crash or the thing boots to an error message such as end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0. Needless to say the floppy drive is fine. Or, The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly Um, maybe I missed something Maxim. Do you have a cdrom? If so, just boot from a knoppix cd. Comes with tons of repair tools already on it.

[gentoo-user] is harddrive kaput?
Hello everbody,
I was surfing the web when firefox suddenly closed and
attempts at re-opening it failed with strange errors
since forgotten. I decided to bail out of X and
restart it; that failed with an I/O error on /dev/hdb4
where / resides. Couldn't do a shutdown; had to reset
the box. Now I get a kernel panic - Cannot open root
device hdb4.
Booted from install CD and ran dmesg:
hdb: dma_intr: error 0x84 {DriveStatusError Bad CRC}
dma_intr: status 0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete
error}
a bunch of these ending with
ldm_validate_partition_table(): disk read failed.
fdisk displays the partitions all right but attempts
to mount /dev/hdb4 came up with, special device
/dev/hdb4 does not exist.
e2fsck: no such file, bad superblock
tune2fs: couldn't find valid fs superblock
Is my hard-drive toast? This is the same one you may
recall I had so much trouble with a few months back.
Will it be possible to fix? Or at least make readable?

[gentoo-user] mplayer -- too many video packets in buffer
Hello everybody, mplayer is here! But doesn't work. Fails w/ too many video packets error. According to the FAQ needs the --autosync option. Nope. I think it's got something to do with the audio. The dvd opens with the usual dire warning message then the logo of the production company but then fails when it gets to the introductory music -- just a guess.

My cpu/vid-card can certainly handle dvd playback. Here's the tail of xterm o/p: Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8266329 bytes).

E.g. busybox is a rescue package. It is most likely going to be required when libraries are screwed up. So it needs static linking, which is a bad idea for most apps. I use mc (Midnight Commander) mostly in text consoles. It has weird interaction with X. I therefore turn off X support for mc. svga pounds away directly at IO ports, and requires setuid root (or else run an app as root). It's OK with links, but I don't want it in my global USE var, because then a whole bunch of other apps, besides links, will start requiring setuid.

A closer look: It appears 6AM was a one-off. Last night before shutdown I set the correct time. This morning at 9:17AM date gave 3:17 w/ correct day, date, time zone. So it looks like it's picking an hour at random but gets everything else correct. 2) If you reboot, the time counts from 6AM + the elapsed time of all previous reboots up until the last cold boot. whatever time has elapsed since first cold boot is added *correctly* to the incorrect original time every time I reboot. For instance, the clock on the wall says 12:40PM. I've just rebooted for the second time and date gives 6:40 which is what it *would* be if the original time, 3:17 had been correct, since approx two and a half hrs have elapsed. 3) Behaviours 1 and 2 doesn't change if you set the time yourself. i.e., on the next boot/reboot the same thing will happen. Does that summary seem correct? Yes. Whatever time string I give to date after rebooting, the clock resets to the original, wrong time after another reboot.

Have you guys looked at the nvidia site? They have 'drivers' (i.e., kernel modules) for their motherboard chipsets as well as their video cards. Perhaps that's what you both need. I know that nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx exist in Portage for the video cards, but that's not of much use if your kernel doesn't have the ability to talk to the mobo in the first place (and we do know that an nForce board does speak its own language). http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0306.html Wow!

But the error is totally in agpgart, and I suspect that it is due to an incomplete kernel configuration. What motherboard do you have? Asus K8N-E Deluxe skt 754 w/nVidia chipset You see, agpgart often doesn't exist on its own in the kernel. Many motherboard chipsets 'speak their own language' as it were, and while the kernel can speak to them, it needs to be told 'who' it is speaking to so that it knows how to be understood by the motherboard. So if I enable /dev/agpgart in my kernel (as I must), I also have to enable one of the options that becomes available when I enable /dev/agpgart-- the kernel will not be able to communicate with my VIA KT266 chipset motherboard, if I do not also enable the VIA chipset support option, which will compile the via-agp module. And if the kernel can't talk to my motherboard, the ati-driver can't talk to the kernel and ask it what kind of card is connected to that AGP slot (because the kernel doesn't know, because it can't communicate with the motherboard). In fact, I can't use the internal agpgart compiled by the fglrx drivers (I have to set UseInternalAGPGART to 'no' in my done it both ways xorg.conf), because the kernel needs its own module to talk to my mobo's AGP slot (and if the kernel can't talk to the AGP slot, then the drivers

Just fixed a similar problem. The answer(for me) was in the config.log. It wasn't flagged as an error just a line saying /usr/local/include not a dir.

[gentoo-user] 2005.1 min-install weirdness
Hello everybody, After booting the 2005.1-min-install CD I browsed the contents for awhile and thought I'd try to setup dial-up by copying over the appropriate files from /etc/ppp/ on another drive. So I mounted that drive then, I'm not sure if it was immediately after that or what, all my commands started returning no such file, no such command errors. ctraltdel came back with can't init /usr/sbin/shutdown, something like that. I had to reset the box to get out. Any body got an idea what's going on here? -mw Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] GRUB won't boot my new Gentoo install
Booting the old SuSE installation works without problems but Gentoo does not. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Have you tried grub's map command? $info grub has detailed instructions.

[gentoo-user] can't unload modules
Hello everyone, The ATI FAQ recommends compiling module unloading into the kernel, which I did. Then I tried modprobing the various requisite modules to see what would work, fglrx, radeon, nvidia-agp etc. But I found I couldn't rmmod anything; got FATAL, Module unloading unavailable(something like that). Does that advanced feature under module unloading need to be checked as well? I thought I'd check with the list about it. FAQ doesn't say. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] can't unload modules
Module unloading support is optional. You want to enable it in your kernel config. See the start of this thread. It *is* enabled Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [gentoo-user] He's baaaaaack!--SOLVED
a fixboot from the recovery mode of the WinXP CD will be necessary. This should not overwrite the MBR, only the boot loader that is at the beginning of the windows partition. The problem was two-fold: 1. WinXP boot sector was bad(my best guess). 2. Recovery Console suffered from obscure bug that prevented the use of admin password -- even though the correct password was used. To top it off, Macro$haft expects its drones to _pay_ for the patch to fix _their_own_ mistake! I just re-installed XP-Pro, this time the one w/ the integrated SP1 which fixes the bug. Then I edited grub to map the drive up a notch and now everything knocking on wood is cool! -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Also note: as I've said elsewhere, even when the big drive(/dev/hdb) is installed alone as master WinXP is accessible, otherwise how could boot.ini open? But both available options, WinXP or Recovery Console(by which I had hoped to use fixboot etc.) lead to system hangs. The method you propose seems rather drastic.
