[gentoo-user] Xen Kernel Reboots DomU Fails xseries 346
Hello Everyone, Just installed new version of xen on latest gentoo on an IBM xseries 346 (older machine), and it keeps rebooting when trying to load the xen kernel. I really don't know how to debug this and would really appreciate your help. Kind Regards, Mike.

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I have changed the CFLAGS to look like the
following:
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native"
Anything I do within chroot is returning `Illegal State` and made the
change from the livecd
environment.
Currently I am rebuilding the whole system using `emerge -e world` and
everything is failing as early as the unpack phase.
Do I have to download stage from the beginning for the 3rd time!
Any help to recover this instance is greatly appreciated.
[gentoo-user] Illegal State in Chroot Environment
Hello Everyone, I was able to get as far as installing grub however through
the installation I would find some strange behaviour such as not being able
to mount /dev/sda2 to the boot directory. I would do it on the livecd (ie,
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot).
When it came to installing `grub grub-install /dev/sda` I got an 'Illegal
State'. emerge -e world would fail with:

There must be an easy way to do this. Something like download the latest portage and source package. Untar on live system and rebuild! That would be so amazing if possible.

[gentoo-user] idmapd nfs4 and ldap pleasantries :)
Hello Everybody! So decided to adopt nfs4 + rpc + ldap since most of the posts regarding bugs I have seen range between 2012-2015, so silly me, safe to come out right? wrong. Cient ldap user: # id user1 uid=1004(user1) gid=1005(user1) groups=27(sudo),1005(user1) Server ldap user: # id user1 uid=1004(user1) gid=1005(user1) groups=27(sudo),1005(user1) As you can see `nslcd and nscd` are doing their job on the client side. I can log in, mount etc.. all fine. Except the infamous `everything has permission nobody nogroup` A few notes: * The `Domain` attribute is set to the same host in idmapd.conf for both client and server * If I set Nobody-User = user1 Nobody-Group = user1 everything works as expected but this was just a test. * If I try to adduser user1 on the client I get an error as expected... User exists therefore, users and groups are sync'ed as per ldap and nss... Question Can rpc.idmap translate ldap users over nsswitch? When I try to use `umich_ldap` as the translator idmapd does not start with `umich_ldap` does not exist... How can I fix this please? :) Kind Regards, M

Re: [gentoo-user] xen on new install reboots by itself
Hello Hydra, Thank you so much. I was literally about to use the default profile and reinstall the same versions. If I need to go back in time, which version is considered Stable and not too old for xen and xen-tools. Finally, as I am new to gentoo, can you please tell me how to emerge an older xen version. Thanks for Everything! Nick

Hello Hydra, Thank you for your response: The commands are bellow. Also, the Bios is almost 10 years old on the machine. Not sure if that info helps for the ACPI related messages.

[gentoo-user] xen on new install reboots by itself
Hello Everyone, New install, on a old server with raid 10 scsi... The normal installation works fine, the only thing is when we try to boot with xen, it gets to the prompt and then reboots by itself. The following message is what differs between normal gentoo and xen kernel Mar 31 06:32:18 test kernel: [0.138644] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20140724/hwxface-580) Mar 31 06:32:18 test kernel: [0.138961] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S2_] (20140724/hwxface-580) Mar 31 06:32:18 test kernel: [0.139267] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S3_] (20140724/hwxface-580) I'm never sure how to debug such errors. Some googling suggested adding ACPI flags (ie, force, on, off), when I do that, the system just reboots without getting to the login prompt. The server is an X346 with hardward servraid 7K with raid 10. Your help is greatly appreciated. N.

Re: [gentoo-user][SOLVED] Computer does not boot
It sounded like a grub - grub2 issue. After running grub-install you probably fixed a broken fs referece ie / /boot etc... Fresh gentoo installs with manual kernel builds always feel like a warm sweater that just came out of the drier. Ah so clean :) N.
Re: [gentoo-user] Ghost cyber threat
Hello Andrew, Thank you for your response. For example, Exim implements reverse lookup. How is malicious activity used against it? Do they need telnet or ssh access, or buy some freak of nature can exploit the vulnerability in other ways? N
Re: [gentoo-user] Updating Gentoo
Neil Thank you! Actually I have an issue where trying to emerge world. This is the following message: (dev-lang/python-exec-2.0.1:2/2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-lang/python-exec:2[python_targets_jython2_5(-),python_targets_jython2_7(-),python_targets_python3_2(-),python_targets_python3_3(-),python_targets_python2_6(-),python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_jython2_5(-),-python_single_target_jython2_7(-),-python_single_target_pypy2_0(-),-python_single_target_python3_2(-),-python_single_target_python3_3(-),-python_single_target_python2_6(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-)] required by (dev-python/python-exec-1.2:2/2::gentoo, installed) It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook Is it safe to uninstall python-exec? N.
Re: [gentoo-user] Ghost cyber threat
Just got the email in my box. Updating now
Re: [gentoo-user] Updating Gentoo
DON'T unmerge python, remember emerge runs on python, you will likely be unable to use the package manager if you do that I did this mistake a long long time ago... Been there dones that Good news: emerge -C dev-python/python-exec emerge dev-python/python-exec (fixed the issue) glibc updated (not vulnerable) python update revdep-rebuild, and restarted all the service everything seems ok. Not going to play around with no udev or grub2. My weekend starts now and refuse to get it off on the wrong foot! N.

Hello, From my understanding this is only an issue if a person is able to telnet or ssh to an effected system? Please confirm. N.
