Re: [gentoo-user] Creating RAID devices

There has been a bug open in bugzilla about this for a long time, but nothing (noticabliy) is happening with this. I however, boot from such a partition, so that ebuild alone doesn't help me. I went the route of using an initrd which runs dmraid -ay which creates the device nodes. I would reccommend to you, that you also use an initrd containing dmraid, even if you don't boot from such a partition. This way the devices are available when the normal system starts. I started off using the script and linuxrc found here http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/ There is also at least one thread about this in the gentoo forums. Here is one for example: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-258981-highlight-dmraid.html I have however since then created my own script which modifies the initrd created by genkernel. I don't use genkernel to make the kernels themselves, but it is the best way in my book to make a initrd in gentoo. One world of advice, regardless which way you choose, be sure to use the newest dmraid version. The older versions had various bugs. My favorite bug was one that setup the raid block size incorrectly while doing mirroring, on two different controlers I use. It isn't funny, when you buy two 400GB drives, and when mirrored, you only see 200GB in linux. Otherwise, you could always go back to using devfs. I think devfs will still be supported for a little while. Maybe by then some gentoo dev will decide to do something about these problems. Regards, Scott -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I also used dmraid tools, but now that I have fixed the problem in the kernel configuration I'm not able to detect the raid with 'dmraid -ay'. With old kernel (devfs) I worked perfectly, but with this new one (udev) there're so much. But with this one I have solved other problems that I've suffered since 1 month.

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting PCMCIA to work
Further to my earlier post... I forgot to mention - one obvious thing to ask would be 'was the card recognised by the installation CD or when usign genkernel?' The answer is - I don't know, because This notebook has no CD-Rom, and the only way to connect one would be via PCMCIA or USB, and I have found no way to boot from either. This appears to stop me from using genkernel. Here are the details for anyone that thinks they might be able to offer some suggestions: The Libretto is a notoriously tricky machine to install on because it has no bootable removable media other than a floppy, and even that is PCMCIA based, so any install process where the bootrap expects to be able to read the boot media tends to fail. For instance, most floppy based installs require a second modules floppy be inserted before a PCMCIA device like a CDROM or the floppy drive can be accessed - catch 22. I have often thought that the floppy should be readable through BIOS routines if it can be booted from, but if so I suppose it would have been done.. In the end I managed a network install using PLIP, and all subsequent linux installs (SuSE and now gentoo) have been achieved using the previous Linux system as a springboard. Consequently I have followed the alternate install method which involves initializing the gentoo partitions from my current linux and then chrooting into it - I was actually quite surprised that running on a 2.4 kernel and /proc directory on a 2.6 filesystem worked... The stage files were copied from the install CD using the network which was still working on my SuSE host system. Finally, the problem with genkernel is that the instructions in the handbook assume you have booted from the install CD. Specifically, it says to copy the installation CD kernel config using zcat /proc/config.gz /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-2.6 and that obviously isn't going to work when I am installing using a foreign (SuSE 2.4) kernel. I could probably get around this by just booting the CD somewhere else and copying the config file, but at the time the manual config looked like an easier option, and I wanted to minimum the kernel size as this old machine has a maximum memory expansion of 64M.

It is better than it used to be, with reasonable key hashing and cbc modes though.

Hi Richard, That surprises me, because in the configuration bus options/pccard/bridges section, there are 5 bridge types mentioned, and I had assumed that the one I needed was i82365 based on my 2.4 kernel suse system /sbin/lsmod output: i82365 23296 4 pcmcia_core43008 0 [3c589_cs ds i82365] I tried your grep on the working SuSE system and the string 'ToPIC97' shows up in drivers/pci/devlist.h, but it isn't obvious to me how you managed to relate that to one of the bridge drivers. Anyway, I am now re-compiling with the yenta-comatible bridge support enabled, so I'll see if that helps. Thanks, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting PCMCIA to work - ps
Hello again Richard, Well, the plot thickens... I found that the header file with the ToPIC97 information is /usr/src/linux/drivers/pcmcia/topic.h on both SuSE and gentoo, and on my SuSE system that was indeed included by the i82365 driver as I has surmised [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/linux/drivers/pcmcia grep topic.h *.c i82365.c:#include topic.h but on my 2.6 gentoo system it has moved: 1.penemunde:/usr/src/linux/drivers/pcmcia grep topic.h *.c yenta_socket.c:#include topic.h as you had discovered. So that would seem to explain why using my working 2.4 system to identify the needed drivers might have misled me... I'll let you know how it goes when the compile completes. It takes a while on that 233MHz system... Thanks again.

Re: [gentoo-user] PCMCIA progress
Thanks Richard, The yenta tip certainly seems to have helped. The system now seems to recognise the existance of the bridge, and when I insert the 3Com card, it recognises both the network interface and the serial port from the modem. There are still no '00' etc files in the /proc/bus/pccard directory, so this must behave differently in the 2.6 kernel. It seems I still have a bit of work to do, however, as the network interface doesn't seem to be working, and with the other (Xircom) card it only recognises the serial interface. It doesn't see the network part at all. I also get some worrying messages about irq 11 which it seems to use, along the lines of irq 11: nobody cared! Disabling IRQ #11 eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! which may having something to do with the failure... I'll need to install something like kermit before I can tell if the modem is working. Below is the latest dmesg output, in case anyone can spot any indications of other misconfigurations...

[gentoo-user] Configuring /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for external client printing
This is for any newbies out there like me ... I spent days trying to figure out how to get a Gentoo linux laptop to print to a Gentoo server through Cups. I was consistently getting connection refused messages from the print server. In order for the Cups server to accept incoming requests it is necessary to change Listen 127.0.0.1:631 to Port 631. The default configuration binds the 631 port to Localhost resulting in all external port requests being refused. After making this change then edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for the security settings you want to allow for external access. This may be obvious to most of you, but it drove me crazy until I figured it out ... Alan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
