Re: [gentoo-user] Installation problem
Thank you very much Peter. This is my ethernet card: 82557/8/9 Ethernet pro 100 I downloaded the latest cd minimal installation image for amd64. So what do you suggest me to do? thanks!

To know what causes this, it would be nice to know what kind of network card eth1 is. Googling for this suggests that it may be an r8169-based card, though the bug that caused the PHY reset until link up bug was solved in kernels =2.6.14. If it is such a card, you may be using an obsolete minimal cd and/or kernel. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Error messages: selected disk does not exist, not found or not a

recall the exact context for these messages but this will give a
flavor hopefully.
Are you sure you're selecting the correct disk? Don't just assume
since it's hdc in Linux it's hd2, use tab-completion when you're
setting up grub., Have you tried using grub console
w/tab-completion? Hit 'c' when you're booted to grub, and try
grub root (hd{hit tab to see what's there}
It's all the same syntax as grub.conf
I've tried changing the boot order in the BIOS.
I can get gentoo to boot if I tell grub it's on (hd0,0)(?!?!) but
WinXP won't boot unless I remove the HD w/gentoo on it and bypass
grub altogether.
Where is grub installed currently? The easiest way I've gotten it to
work is to install over Window's MBR and use a chainloader +1 line to
chainload windows.
Lastly What partitions are marked as active/bootable? I assume the xp
one is (hda), but what about hdc when you're trying to install grub
there? Also, I don't _think_ you can have more than 1 active/bootable
disk.
fdisk can see both drives OK. Both drives appear in dmesg w/o
errors. Both drives appear in the POST screen -- first drive as
'0', second drive as '1'
Again, this leads me to believe that grub is seeing the second disk as
hd1. Granted; you never said what you called it but that might be your
problem.

The reason I'm making doubly sure that it is indeed the latest live-cd, is that the last time the PHY reset until link up error led to failures such as yours was many kernel revisions ago. That being said, there are some known problems with the r8169-based cards. For one, they will retain state when you reboot from windows. To test if that is what is causing this, power off your machine and pull the plug, wait 1 minute, re-insert power cord and boot. Also, the bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6807 has some of the characteristics you describe. It was hopefully fixed in kernel 2.6.23. You could try to install Gentoo from a 2.6.23-based livecd such as paldo at: http://www.paldo.org/ The iso is at: http://www.paldo.org/paldo-live-cd-x86_64-stable.iso Gentoo only needs very few tools to be installed and most live-cds provide them. -- /PA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] grub hell
My guess is that you have incompatible jumper settings on the back of the drives. Check these and make sure that they reflect what the BIOS sees. Also, check your /boot/grub/device.map for consistency. Then use tab completion from the grub prompt to find devices and bootable partitions. Both drives are set to master which the BIOS confirms. Device map: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdc is consistent. Tab completion at the grub prompt only finds the second drive which it insists on calling the first contrary to device.map. If the above doesn't get you booting please post your grub.conf, along with fdisk -l. grub.conf: #XP title=XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) map (hd1)(hd0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot (I used one 'map' command following Dan Farrell's model but using two made no difference) #Gentoo title=Gentoo root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc3 video=aty128fb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] boot Note: The entry for XP elicits: Error 11 Unrecognized device string no matter how I edit it using the 'e' command in grub.

[gentoo-user] OT - finding rgb code of the background of an image
My wife and I are working on a programming project together. I have a number of transparent .gif files that I've converted to BMP with imagemagick's convert command.

Re: [gentoo-user] grub hell
In your grub.conf, you say the root is on (hd0,0) but then remap (hd1) as (hd0). Whereas the root partition for windows boot in my case is the first hard drive listed after 'map', yours is the second I suggest you reverse this. As I stated before, I've tried all the possibilities. None of them work. In this case the error is #11: Unrecognized device string. BTW these are IDE drives, not SATA. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!?

Can you see The gif doesn't show a background because the background is green and the transparent color is set to green. And in my opinion whoever created the file in the first place messed up by setting the background color different from the transparent color, but that's just my aesthetics, and not any standards. anything in the listing that I haven't that will help me to know what color I need to set transparent for the BMP? I tried setting (0, 255, hum? I didn't know bitmaps supported transparency... 0, 1) transparent, and it still showed up green. apparently they do, somewhat; if the suggestion they give at http://www.msfn.org/board/transparent_bmp_s_t22523.html is correct, what you need to do is to make sure you convert to a paletted bmp and use a little bit of imagemagick to make the (0,0) pixel the right color. I guess you can probably read the original gifs and grep for the transparent color line and set it from there. But, I've never seen transparent bmps, so I don't really know.
