It's how 32-bit Windows applications run on 64-bit Windows. By and large, the way 32-bit and 64-bit applications and libraries can communicate with each other are very limited. 64-bit programs can't load 32-bit libraries, and vice versa. Some environment variables containing path information are switched out depending on if the program is 32-bit or 64-bit. Accesses to some registry paths are shunted to one place or another, depending on if the program is 32-bit or 64-bit. For system libraries, 64-bit windows provides both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of supported libraries, rather like multilib environments on Linux. In essence, if you get 64-bit Windows, you're getting two copies of Windows, a 64-bit version and a 32-bit version, and the kernel shunts 32-bit programs into the 32-bit version while maintaining a reasonably high degree of interoperability; it's not a complete sandbox. 32-bit and 64-bit processes can still communicate with each other. mmap()'d files still work the same way, as the filesystem paths don't change. Named objects such as pipes, events, mutexes...all of those are handled by the kernel, which has mapping code to allow 32-bit and 64-bit processes to independently gain handles on the same named objects. (Subject to security attributes and restrictions, of course.) But, yeah. That's Windows, on Windows 64-bit, or WOW64. (P.S. For the Horde!) -- :wq

[gentoo-user] VFAT problem
Hi, I have a Garmin GPS with a 32GB SD card. If I attach my device to the USB port, a directory listing looks totally scrambled. A listing of the smaller (2GB) 'internal' storage device is just fine. And I am sure the listing of the bigger SD card has been fine earlier when less storage was used. The funny thing, looking at the same SD card from Windows7 (running in VirtualBox) gives a perfect listing (about 28 GB are used). What am I missing? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

My first guess is FAT corruption (maybe windows reads second copy of FAT?). Maybe try to do chkdsk from windows, or make a backup first from there anyway. :) My second guess is character encoding differences, but usually it would not be so extreme. I mount vfat with options codepage=437,iocharset=utf8 and it seems to usually give me proper results for international filenames (although mount warns me every time that this is unwise).

Hi Helmut, Sorry for the problems. No real good ideas here, but assuming the Win 7 VM is on the same Gentoo machine then it appears to be something missing from Gentoo. I'd start by using the Win 7 disk tools: Control Panel - System Security - Create format hard disk partitions and look to see what Win 7 believes it's talking to. Also, make sure if you have the VM running that it isn't automatically mounting the Garmin which would make the SD unavailable to Linux. Handle that in the Virtualbox-Device menu. Best of luck. Sounds like an interesting problem, if that's possible. Cheers, Mark

The main error is cannot open root device sda3 sda3 is the 3rd partition of the first hard disk (on a Windows machine it would probably be E:\) Two things will cause that error: The first disk doesn't have a third partition on it. Please describe how your disks are laid out and where you unpacked the gentoo tarball too. You can get this info by booting off a Live CD just like the first part of the install and running fdisk -l as root in a terminal. Paste the entire output in a mail reply and we'll take a look for you. The second cause is your kernel doesn't have drivers for your motherboard's chipset. These cannot be kernel modules, they must be compiled in (unless you are building an initrd - but that's complicated so I don't think you'll be going that route on the first try). Just like the in first cause you can get good info from running lspci plus the entire content of one file - the kernel config. It's hard to describe where it will be, but if you follow along in the install guide, you boot off a LiveCD, chroot into the gentoo install at /mnt/gentoo, then inside there you will find a directory /usr/src/linux - you went there the first time to configure the kernel. In that directory is a file called .config. We need that entire file to see if you configured the kernel with the minimum requirements. Also mention what filesystem you chose for the root partition: ext3, ext4, reiser or maybe something else (but it's probably ext4) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

They're slots, so you can install eg 1.2.49 1.5.10 simultaneously.
To install the former do 'emerge libpng:1.2',
for the latter 'emerge libpng:0'.
