Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend to swap on a diskless host
On Wednesday 23 May 2007, Dan Farrell wrote: I know this is a long shot, and not many people run diskless hosts. I have one with kind of a loud fan that uses a lot of energy - it's a pentium 4 in a slimline case and it runs pretty hot, so I can't adjust the fan speed based on temperature, because it seems like turning the fan off at 70+ degrees C is a bad idea. Instead, I'd like to be able to suspend to ram or swap so that the fans can stop spinning and the cpu can cool down -- all in one fell swoop! -- but I've had troubles doing so. While working on that, I was thinking I might have better luck if the kernel was allowed to restart itself. I would like to set up swsuspend on the machine, but I'm a little unclear as to how I would do so. I know swapon doesn't work on regular files, so to add my swap I need to first use losetup to set up /dev/loop0 as my swap device. Then swapon /dev/loop0 works. but how can I enable swap on loop0 before the initscripts boot (right now I have it done in local.start). Don't I need to be able to mount the swap as swap right away to resume from it? Or will it be enought to specify the location?

Re: [gentoo-user] which -march flag to pick for Intel Core 2 Duo in make.conf?
After reading some docs, the impression I get is that the 'nocona' flag is for building a 64-bit system... For a 32-bit system, it seems like 'prescott' would be the choice, wouldn't it? This from the GCC website about 4.2.0 release changes: IA-32/x86-64 * -mtune=generic can now be used to generate code running well on common x86 chips. This includes AMD Athlon, AMD Opteron, Intel Pentium-M, Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Core 2. * -mtune=native and -march=native will produce code optimized for the host architecture as detected using the cpuid instruction. * Added a new command line option -fstackrealign and and __attribute__ ((force_align_arg_pointer)) to realign the stack at runtime. This allows functions compiled with a vector-aligned stack to be invoked from legacy objects that keep only word-alignment.

[gentoo-user] Problem with keyboard in XFCE and Fluxbox
Hi all! I have a problem with symbol 'vertical-line' (now i'm in fluxbox session,and cannot insert it :)) In gnome or plain console (tty1..6) all works fine, keyboard works without any problem, but in XFCE and Fluxbox i have a problem.. in quake3 keys a,w,s,d not working... vertical line not inserting (just \ or /). xorg.conf Section Module Loaddbe # Double buffer extension SubSection extmod Optionomit xfree86-dga # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Loadfreetype Load glx Load dri EndSection Section Files FontPath /usr/share/fonts/misc/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ InputDevices /dev/input/mice InputDevices /dev/gpmctl EndSection Section ServerFlags #Option NoTrapSignals EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard1 Driver kbd Option AutoRepeat 500 30 Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc104 Option XkbLayout ru(winkeys),us Option XkbOptions grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,ctrl:ctrl_aa,grp_led:scroll,caps:capslock,altwin:menu EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Synaptics Driver synaptics Option Protocol auto-dev # Auto detect Option Device /dev/input/mice Option LeftEdge 1700 Option RightEdge 5300 Option BottomEdge 4200 Option FingerLow 25 Option FingerHigh 30 Option MaxTapTime 180 Option MaxTapMove 220 Option VertScrollDelta100 Option MinSpeed 0.09 Option MaxSpeed 0.18 Option AccelFactor0.0015 Option SHMConfig true EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier MousePS2 Driver mouse Option Protocol explorerps/2 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Buttons 5 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier LCD Monitor HorizSync 31.5 - 150 VertRefresh 50-230 EndSection Section Device Identifier Standard VGA VendorName Unknown BoardName Unknown Driver vga EndSection Section Device Identifier ATI X1250 Driver fglrx VideoRam65536 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen 1 Device ATI X1250 Monitor LCD Monitor DefaultDepth 24 Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1280x800 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier Simple Layout Screen Screen 1 Option AIGLX false InputDevice Synaptics CorePointer InputDevice Keyboard1 CoreKeyboard EndSection Section DRI Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection Section Extensions Option Composite False EndSection === emerge --info = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r2, 2.6.21-gentoo i686) = System uname: 2.6.21-gentoo i686 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.10 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 24 May 2007 21:30:02 + distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31-r7 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox:1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 ~x86 AUTOCLEAN=yes CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O3 -march=k8 -pipe -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CONFIG_PROTECT=/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/php/apache1-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo CXXFLAGS=-O3 -march=k8 -pipe -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles FEATURES=ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict GENTOO_MIRRORS=ftp://city.mirror.ekb-lug.ru/pub/gentoo http://ftp.citkit.ru/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.citkit.ru/pub/Linux/gentoo LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_ALL= LINGUAS=ru MAKEOPTS=-j6 PKGDIR=/usr/portage/packages PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS=--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-* PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp PORTDIR=/usr/portage SYNC=rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage USE=3dnow 3dnow2 3dnowext X aac aalib acl acpi alsa automount berkdb bitmap-fonts cairo cdr

Device Drivers: Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --- one below scsi, two below ide. Yes, I combed through that and set all the necessary options there before, so I doubt this is the problem... I've just reconfigured the kernel and recompiled it on another fresh install... When the kernel compile finished, it said Root device is (8, 3). What does that actually mean? Does it mean that I should be telling grub that root is (hd8, 3) instead of (hd0, 0)?

Re: [gentoo-user] VFS: Cannot open root device - kernel panic
SOLVED. I was able to configure and compile the kernel and configure a working Gentoo system that gives me no errors at boot :-) I am not sure what went wrong the first time. I selected the same basic driver support within the kernel as the first time, except I didn't bother with some of the other bells and whistles I first had in there. Perhaps now that I have a working system, I can play with the kernel and see what works, since I can always fall back onto a working kernel and still have a running system. I'm glad this is solved because I was getting really annoyed at myself here... Thanks to everyone who chimed in! -Denis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

After that, on a kernel upgrade of course, I copy the .config over and run make oldconfig. Of course, on a new install, start from scratch. :/ There are a LOT of people that know more about this than me but this has worked for me so far. Someone may have even better ideas to add.

I love the if unsure, say N here. or if you don't know what this is, you probably don't need it - say N here. ;-) Well, when you download the kernel sources, there can be old cruft in there. It does seem to start out with some basic options and I was told once a long time ago to run mrproper to be sure to get it all out. It fixed the problem I was having then and I have done it ever since. Funny thing is, I wonder if that would have helped. Most likely not but something to remember next time. I just checked and I have a newer kernel on here. I may compile the new version and boot it next time. I'm on almost 45 days of uptime so don't hold your breath on me rebooting.

[gentoo-user] Problem configuring ppp forpppoe
