Probably can't go wrong with ext2 (personally, I'd still go with ext3 because you get faster fscks during bootup, right?). Ext2/ext3 have been around for a long time, there are lots of tools written to work with them, supported in most (all?) linux distros. Well, who cares about other distibutions? This is a Gentoo list. OP asks about Gentoo. Anyway. It'll be hard to find a recent distribution, which does NOT support all of the available standard filesystems (Reiser 3, XFS, ext2, ext3, JFS and maybe even Reiser 4). As far as age is concerned: What's older? XFS or ext2? I'm sure there are good arguments for using Reiser, XFS, JFS, etc, but I haven't gotten comfortable enough about them to make the switch away from ext2/ext3. Why not?

I thought this was what plug play operating systems were about. Can the kernel be invoked with an append which will assign it the IRQ11 recognised by the LiveCD? It should also be possible to write a boot sector to the IDE disk that will boot from the SCSI disk. If your /boot partition is /dev/sda1, something like this might work: #echo (hd0) /dev/hda /boot/grub/device.map.ide #echo (hd1) /dev/sda /boot/grub/device.map.ide # grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map.ide grub setup (hd0) (hd1,1) ... grub quit After numerous attempts I've had no joy installing GRUB on the EIDE drive getting the Highpoint to boot from it - this is surely a quirk of the server BIOS. If anyone has any other suggestions (please refer to my earlier posts) I would be EXTREMELY grateful. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Dale - I had the same problem until I set Stupid Mode=yes in /etc/wvdial.conf. All was fine then. John Thanks for that tip. I'll try that. I like to have as many back-ups as I can get.

[gentoo-user] BTTV Mini-HOWTO -- how do I use multiple inputs?
Followed the howto here: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/BTTV.html (which by the way is 5 years old) I have an old hauppauge bt878 card with 4 inputs on it. I have the video1 working fine, but how do I enable the other inputs? They're all the same RCA kind. I ran the MAKEDEV script, but it didn't seem to make all the video* and vbi* nodes other than the first one... I manually created the rest using the HOWTO as an example: I don't know anything about nodes and all this stuff, so I guessed that the 'c' number is the same as the ones that were created, and the number next to that increments from the one created. daevid bin # ll /dev/video* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Nov 27 19:42 /dev/video - /dev/video0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 27 19:46 /dev/video0 - v4l/video0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 27 20:36 /dev/video1 - v4l/video1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 27 20:36 /dev/video2 - v4l/video2 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 27 20:36 /dev/video3 - v4l/video3 daevid bin # ll /dev/vbi* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Nov 27 19:42 /dev/vbi - /dev/vbi0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 27 19:46 /dev/vbi0 - v4l/vbi0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 27 20:37 /dev/vbi1 - v4l/vbi1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 27 20:37 /dev/vbi2 - v4l/vbi2 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Nov 27 20:37 /dev/vbi3 - v4l/vbi3 daevid bin # ll /dev/v4l/* crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 224 Dec 31 1969 /dev/v4l/vbi0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 225 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/vbi1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 226 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/vbi2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 227 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/vbi3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/v4l/video0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 1 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/video1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 2 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/video2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 81, 3 Nov 27 20:35 /dev/v4l/video3 If I try to take a picture: /usr/bin/v4lctl -c /dev/video0 snap jpeg 320x240 /home/dae51d/public_html/nokia_cam.jpg /usr/bin/v4lctl -c /dev/video1 snap jpeg 320x240 /home/dae51d/public_html/ittybitty_cam.jpg Then the first one works fine, but the second one is failing with: v4l2: open /dev/video1: No such device v4l2: open /dev/video1: No such device v4l: open /dev/video1: No such device no grabber device available -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How does Portage prioritze emerges in emerge world?
Abhay Kedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: imho that is certainly not the way things should work. Why not build with latest libraries when you already have them? To do what you want, all kernel packages will have to be left alone from dependency tracking and I don't know whether it is possible or not. Just my 2 cents. Another way of doing it would be for portage to stop after 'installing' a kernel upgrade. Then you would configure and (possibly build) the new kernel before restarting portage. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Chris, I had a similar problem, where my xorg compile stopped at the same point...
