Make a grub boot disk(if you haven't already) and practice until you find the proper sequence of commands; then you can put them into a conf file and do a grub-install. I'd do that first. A false move could wipe out your MBR. So would an 'intentional' move to install Grub in the MBR of the first device. A boot floppy is handy, but as long as Grub boots normally you can press 'c' to drop into a command prompt and use find to find whatever partition you're after, or 'e' to edit individual entries in the menu, until the particular OS boots. As I recall I completey destroyed the boot partition on a brand new HD while fumbling with GRUB. But it was still under warranty Whew! Using the fixmbr command from a WinXP installation CD would restore it. Better though to install Grub's boot code in the MBR. BTW, the fixboot command will restore the partition boot sector in a hosed WinXP partition. None of this will help with a hardware failure of course, and I am at a loss as to how any software manipulation that Grub can perform would damage a hard drive. In conclusion, I agree with Christopher's suggestion that the only way to make WinXP boot from any other than the first drive is to use the map command. A point to note is that WinXP is installed on the third device so instead of hd1, hd0 you may want to try hd2, hd0. Good luck. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] IrDA crashes every time
Hi All, I have not been able to use irda on an old laptop (Evo N600v) that I've inherited. :-( I can launch /etc/init.d/irda start, which brings up /usr/bin/irattach. It all goes pear-shaped from there. The log shows: === Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo lappy /proc/sys/net/irda/devname' Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo 1 /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery' Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: Starting device irda0 === So it seems that irda0 starts alright.

Invariably, I have to zap /etc/init.d/irda and kill -9 /usr/bin/irattach to get rid of them. I have also tried scmxx which listens to ircomm0, but couldn't get it to work either. :-( I am not sure what I am missing here. How did you get your irda working on your laptop? Can you please help? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] partitioning for multimedia performance and dual-booting linux/windex
On Wed, Apr 19, 2006 at 06:11:55PM -0700, Robert Persson wrote The questions I have are: 1. What file system should I use for shared storage and scratchspace between the two OSs? 2. Would it be feasible and worthwhile to stripe a linux scratchspace volume across both disks? QUESTION 1: As far as the dual-booting is concerned, I will need to do it sometimes when there isn't a reliable *ix tool for the job, but I don't want to find myself trapped into using Windows for day-to-day stuff. For instance I may find myself forced to use Adobe Premiere for video editing now and then for the moment, but I would want to be gravitate back to Cinelerra as soon as some of the more serious bugs have been ironed out. For this reason, and also because I remember from my own past experience that NTFS is an unspeakable atrocity (even when accessed under windows) I have been thinking of keeping the Windows partition fairly small and of installing third-party driver(s) to access linux-native filesystems to share data, rather than the other way round. The three options I have for this are: 1. install the windows ext2/3 driver. 2. install rfsd (http://rfsd.sourceforge.net) to access reiserfs partitions. 3. Install the crossmeta XFS driver if I can get hold of it (I'm not sure whether it's part of the free NFS driver download on the website or not). Howsabout using FAT32 (aka vfat) for the data partitions that need to be accessed by both Windows and Linux? Both Windows and Linux can read and write easily to vfat. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
