[gentoo-user] Re: SNAFU!!!! Boot drive modernization.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by disabling GRUB's automatic UUID kernel parameter and using my own. /etc/default/grub: GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="root=/dev/sda5 rootfstype=ext4" Regenerate the grub config after editing it (grub-mkconfig). On 01/25/2017 04:38 PM,

[gentoo-user] snafu: the update

I re-installed grub and now it boots through the grub menu to the point of handing off to the linux kernel. The linux kernel stalls stone cold dead in either direct from firmware or pass through grub mode. So I think Grub is 97.6% exonerated at this point. This is my standard kernel.org pure

It's installed here and I didn't have to patch anything at all. My reply was to inform the OP as to what is likely the default install which was the question. I'm not sure why you think I need a patch. Dale :-) :-) P. S. He started the top posting. :/ Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini wrote: >

You have to patch boost library in order to use libressl ( https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/12575/boost-1.62-asio-libressl.patch) and some kde network. Small patches, of course, but You need to do. ciao luigi Il giorno mar 24 gen 2017 alle ore 19:20 Dale

After 7 long years, the peace of mind feature on my Velociraptor HD had finally given up the ghost. So I get a new SSD, that's slightly smaller but still a large multiple of what I actually need the drive for. =P To be fully trendy (and finally wanting to put the 1980's to bed) I try to set up

[gentoo-user] rsync server setting - howto

Hi, according to Gentoo's documentation it is /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf where one can set the resync server. But that does seem to work for me. I'd like to change my previous rsync server, I've commented out the sync-uri= line in gentoo.conf and uncommented a different line.
