[gentoo-user] Mutt Use Flag Advice
I've never used Mutt before and I'd like to try it. I'm running kernel 2.6.16-hardened-r11 and I was wondering what use flags I should set when emerging Mutt. I ran emerge -pv mutt and it looked like some of the disabled items should be enabled, like -pop and -gpgme. Maybe support for these things are enabled another way, but I would like to use mutt with gpg and pull mail off the cox server. Can anyone please help me decide which use flags I should enable before emerging mutt? I've been doing some reading on the subject, but I'm not very familiar with configuring mua's so I'm a little confused as to what flags should be enabled and which are better left alone until I grok this better. I'm not adverse to simply leaving as is and compiling with the default flags, but I would like to keep this system as stable and hardened as possible so any advise would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot, Steven -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist...netmount was not started...
I have a working hardened system, 2.6.16-hardened-r11, but I can't seem to get eth0 recognized. My NIC is a Netgear FA310TX Rev D2 and I found that it uses the Tulip driver. I've tried compiling this driver by itself into the kernel both built-in and as a module. I've tried compiling the entire Tulip family of drivers into my kernel, trying * next to every possible selection under Tulip and again using m in every instance allowed. I listed tulip in /etc/modules.autoload.d and it failed at boot, even though it was compiled as a module. Everything is copasetic when I boot off the livecd and I can ping google, etc. I tried emerging hotplug as one forum post I found indicated, but to no avail. I've done my best to find posts related to this, seemingly, common issue, but nothing has worked for me and I can't think of anything else to try. I've combed the handbook as well, but nothing there has helped me. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. I have used Hardened Gentoo before, but not on this older machine. Thanks a lot for any help, Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist...netmount was not started...
Are you sure it's the tulip.o driver you want, I'm pretty sure that's the one I need based on posts I've found by others who are using the same card/chipset. If I could be sure it was loading and eth0 was still not working I would assess that I need a different driver. However, I don't believe I've been able to get the tulip driver loaded yet. You said that autoloading failed - can you paste the *exact* error message? What happens if you try 'modprobe tulip' by hand, as root? Okay, I went back into menuconfig and enabled tulip family network device support. Then I enabled the second dec... selection as a module and * before each of the subheadings under this selection. Everything else in the list of tulip family drivers is unselected. I added tulip to my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. On reboot, Loading tulip module... Failed to load tulip...

Thanks a lot for any help, Steve Hi, I'm using the Tulip driver on one of my older boxes too. Under the Tulip family selection in menuconfig, only one of them actually compiles the tulip.o module - I forget the name of it (DEC something), but last time I built a kernel it was second in the list. For it to work properly, I had to enable all the options for the tulip module - new bus layout, interrupt mitigation, whatever other fancy things it has there. Are you sure it's the tulip.o driver you want, or is it some other driver from the tulip family? You said that autoloading failed - can you paste the *exact* error message? What happens if you try 'modprobe tulip' by hand, as root? Ryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: [gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist...netmount was not started...
I finally got it working. Pinging my ipcop server works as well as google. I compiled everything under tulip family network device support as a module and listed 'tulip' in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. 'lsmod' shows only tulip listed. I guess that gets me all squared away here. Thanks a lot for all your help. I should document this problem and post it to my website as I was only able to find a lot of scattered info in regards to this card, the tulip driver and my particular problem in Gentoo. Now back to the handbook to finish my install then onto the Gentoo file server wiki...should be fun and hopefully I'll have a nice little secure fileserver when all is finished. -Original Message- From: Ryan Tandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 6:22 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist...netmount was not started...

As root, modprobe tulip: FATAL: module tulip not found OK... what's the output from make modules make modules_install? (when in /usr/src/linux) What does modprobe tulip return if you run it *immediately* after make modules make modules_install - i.e. without rebooting first? According to Google, your card has the same chipset as mine, so the options I posted should work. If you're still having trouble, I can post the relevant part of my .config. Speaking of chipsets - what does 'lspci' (sys-apps/pciutils) say about the card? Ryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[gentoo-user] cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory
Im trying to install a 2.6.16-hardened-r11 kernel and I keep getting this error: cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory I dld the stage3-x86-hardened-2.6-2006.0.tar.bz2 and the portage-latest.tar.bz2 files. Ive been following the handbook instructions verbatim for 2.6 kernel, everything has gone fine up to this point with no errors displayed. I configured and built the kernel with no errors (that I could see) and executed make make modules_install. Everything seems okay until I run cp arch/i386/kernel/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.16-hardened-r11 per the handbook instructions. Then I get the error above that the bzImage file cannot be found. When I run ls l /usr/src/linux it points to linux-2.6.16-hardened-r11, so Ive tried using that name too, but still received the same error. Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if I need to provide any additional info. Thanks

That was it, thanks a lot! Thanks a million, I can't believe I overlooked that in the handbook! -Original Message- From: Bruno Lustosa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 11:14 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory On 9/15/06, Steven G Wagner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to install a 2.6.16-hardened-r11 kernel and I keep getting this error: cp: cannot stat 'arch/i386/kernel/bzImage': No such file or directory Isn't bzImage supposed to be in arch/i386/boot ?? -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- No virus found in this incoming message.
