NTPL stands for Native POSIX Thread *Library*. As it name says, it is a library (with support in the kernel and in glibc). If you don't use the library (-lpthread), you cannot make use of its advantages. What "old style threading" did you use for your test case?

[gentoo-user] memset_s
I'm trying to use memset_s() but the system (glibc?) doesn't know
about it. I also tried to compile against musl, same result.
There's precious little info about memset_s in the net. Does it exist
at all? No man page.
(https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/group/boi2016/doc/cppreference/reference/en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/memset.html)
What I tried:
#include
#include
#include
#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ 1
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char** argv){
#ifndef __STDC_LIB_EXT1__
printf("CRAP\n");
#else
printf("COOL\n");
#endif
}
Compiled with -std=c11
You can guess what the output is.

And is icu installed? If you look in /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/encoding.h you probably see, #ifdef LIBXML_ICU_ENABLED #include #endif so that unicode header should only be used when libxml2 was built with USE=icu. In that case, USE=icu also pulls in dev-libs/icu, which is what provides the header.

Hello Dave. Why this can be so important? Yes, I set my local timezone

And yes, I am in st.Petersburg (Russia), but I coudn't find any

I have only found exaple with "working" ( as athour claims) USE flags for
"working"bootstraping . If you feel that some packages will hogtie, please
advice on what USE flags have to be removed ( or added).

I was asking about USE variable "USE=", not about CFLAGS.. ( those will
come up later).., and from various sources, they have to be ( for instance)
-mmmx, msse, etc.. But do I have to include thoe flags to my USE variable?
( like mmx, sse, etc).

Thanks for your response, but probably some one added to USE flags in make.conf?
And how did it go in bootstrapping? Also, to rephrase my original question
do I have include all of them or only mmx, sse, mtrr as Dave suggested?
Thanks. Alex.

You need to be able to mount your root filesystem, and possibly /usr. So you need anything needed for that that isn't compiled not your kernel, such as SATA drivers, filesystem etc. You would normally build anything like this into the kernel, so you just need the userspace tools. For standard operations, that is all covered by busybox, but if you use LVM, RAID or dmcrypt for those filesystems, include the relevant tools. There is a very capable tool for examining your system and deciding what is needed... you. -- Neil Bothwick "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

(I guess...) Actually I hadn't run the test case at the time but was referring to the one I pointed the OP at yesterday: http://www.makelinux.net/alp/032 However it's essentially the same as yours (not as elegant, but functionally similar). However the results shown on that page show different pids for the threads. When I run that same code here I get the same pids: mark@c2stable ~ $ ./pthread2 main thread pid is 5387 child thread pid is 5387 ^C mark@c2stable ~ $ Now, this does make me curious about some things running on my system. Two for instance, Google Chrome and akonadi_agent, have LOTS of pids. I was assuming those were different threads and were demonstrating what the OP was asking about, but now I'm not so sure. How does a single program on an nptl system generate all these different pids? Thanks, Mark

when you use buildpkg feature the packages contain the virgin unedited

Volker is. I am not sure I am and I'm not sure that Neil was talking
about quickpkg which is what I am using so far. The command
quickpkg --include-configs
says it includes the configs. That's what I thought we (you and I
Alan) were talking about.
On the other hand I presumed (apparently incorrectly) that the
FEATURES="buildpkg" (which is what I think Neil is speaking about)
gave me the same option but I now guess it doesn't.
If I need to use quickpkg to save the configs then I think I'll do
that being that as I simple-minded home user with no admin experience
I have no in-place rigorous methods for doing __any__ backups. I just
tar up directories once in awhile and deal with the problems that come
later. (If they come...when they come...they do come, don't they?) ;-)
- Mark
This is how I understand it. If you use buildpkg with emerge, you get
the original configs from the source tarball. If you use quickpkg, then
you get the config files YOU created. If I understand this correctly,
you can remember it this way as well. Doing it during the emerge gives
you what emerge produces. Doing it with quickpkg gives you what you
produced.
All that and I didn't confuse myself. So, I'm probably wrong in how I
understand it. lol

Well, for one thing, I do not want to use wayland at all, it conflicts

never had) I get the following:

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on Xeon
Hi again!!!
When I use a stage3-pentium4 for instalation and i tried compile the
kernel - gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r7.
My make.conf is:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j5"
USE="-ipv6 multilib"
In the kernel configuration:
( ) AMD-Opteron/Athlon64
(X) Intel EM64T
( ) Generic-x86-64
I get the follow error:
CHK include/linux/version.h
SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
CC arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s
cc1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
cc1: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in
make[1]: *** [arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
Whereas, I have a lot of doubts. Well, what architeture i should use.
( I guess it is x86) . I'm very confusing with x86 or x86_64. What I
should use in CFLAGS. For AMD64, everything seems explaned but how to
install gentoo on intel's machines with EM64 support doesn't. Someone
can help me?

I'm pretty sure that stage 3 is all that is supported now. If you
really want to make sure you are optimized, do a minimal install, to
where you can boot and be stable, then do a emerge -e system then a
emerge -e world. That should get you the same thing as a stage 1 from
what I have read. Then install whatever else you need.
You were cheated out of almost 8MHz too. :-(
Hope that helps.

I do basically the same thing as you. I run make oldconfig, answer the questions there, run make all && make modules_install and that is it. After that, I can update nvidia's drivers and such and it not complain. I have in the past forgot to change the symlink tho. I used to do it manually but now use eselect to do that. Just for giggles, what does eselect kernel list show as being selected? Maybe something is not quite right there. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

The include/excludes just handle the random stuff where this policy isn't practical. Now, I also keep local backups of everything and the rules are much more inclusive there. I just exclude things like /sys, /proc, anything with a bind mount (so as to not save it twice), /usr/portage (changes constantly, trivial to restore), all those .snapshots directories, and the same sorts of things in chroots (but not containers). As far as the suggestion to use ansible/etc goes for things like /etc - I certainly agree it is a best practice. -- Rich

[gentoo-user] entrance login fails
I am guessing there is something not being set in the /etc/pam.d/entrance file which was installed with entrance. I am getting a wrong credentials error, when both my username and passwd are entered correctly. This is the file installed by entrance: $ cat /etc/pam.d/entrance #%PAM-1.0 authrequisite pam_nologin.so authrequiredpam_env.so readenv=1 authrequiredpam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale @include common-auth authoptionalpam_gnome_keyring.so @include common-account session requiredpam_limits.so @include common-session session optionalpam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start @include common-password In contrast the sddm pam file looks like this: $ cat /etc/pam.d/sddm #%PAM-1.0 authinclude system-login account include system-login passwordinclude system-login session include system-login -auth optionalpam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4 -auth optionalpam_kwallet5.so -sessionoptionalpam_kwallet.so -sessionoptionalpam_kwallet5.so auto_start The sddm pam file works fine, but I do not want to start hacking the entrance pam file without understainding what all these pam_foo.so directives do. What do you suggest I need to change in it to make pam like my user/passwd? PS. I do not use Gnome on this box. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Which pieces get built into the kernel (or as loadable modules) is controlled by .config. To get the new kernel to include all the drivers/modules enabled in the current kernel, you can "zcat /proc/config.gz > .config" in the new /usr/src/linux. (That does assume the running kernel is built with the parameters to create /proc/config.gz.) Then run "make oldconfig" (or one of it's variants) to include new lines to .config.

exactly) also linux-2.6.26 starts to download and klibc.*
I checked, for what klibc is good for and in this case it is
used for calling the userland tool via from initram, which I
do not plan...
Ok, I thought, than "low level".
I compiled v86d by hand using "./configure --default" for the
default configuration.
But this time it fails to compile with:

I dont know, what the problem is...I am using linux-2.6.36.2 vanilla
and compile this kernel with uvesafb support in beforehand.
Nonetheless there seems something to be missed in the kernel
sources...
My goal is to have a better resolution on the console as this
8bit homecomputer like crap. It doesnot matter that much, whether
switching to the higher resolution happens when the first boot scripts
are read from /etc ...
May I ask you for a little more informations how to proceed here?
How did you achieve a working uvesafb? Do you use the gentoo sources
or the vanilla kernel?
Best regards and thank you very much in advance for your help!

If you think it needed, emerge -DNa world. The -D, deep, may catch a few more packages but I've never tested it. If you want to go to the extreme, emerge -ea world will recompile everything, changed USE flag or not. It won't miss a thing. The first one should work in most cases. If you run into trouble, maybe add the -D. The -N is this from man emerge: --newuse, -N Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation. This option also implies the --selective option. USE flag changes include: A USE flag was added to a package. A USE flag was removed from a package. A USE flag was turned on for a package. A USE flag was turned off for a package. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

What you're saying is that you want *SOME*, but not all, packages to be built with certain flags. That's what package.use was designed for. If you enable "kde" globally in your USE var, everything that can be built with KDE support will be built with KDE support. If you enable it for only certain packages, it will only show up for certain packages. You have "kde" and "symantic-desktop" in your USE, sorry, you're going to pull in a lot of crap, no if's-and's-or's-but's. BTW, I assure you that I am absolutely neutral in the GNOME/KDE war... the pox on both their houses. I didn't buy a computer to run desktops, I bought a computer to run applications. Now it's possible that many of the flags in your "combined" USE are pulled in by your profile. The way to avoid that is to start your USE with "-*" and only add what is absolutely necessary, either in USE in make.conf or on a package-by-package basis in package.use. I started doing that some years ago after the developers "in their infinite wisdom" decided to include "ipv6" by default. Firefox and mplayer and anything else that connected to the net would spin their wheels for 30 to 45 seconds, while IPV6 DNS requests timed out, and then fall back to IPV4. I did *NOT* appreciate that. > I guess the kernel will have the kde USE flag next. lol At least > that should be in @system tho. ;-) Check your profile. Is it kde-desktop? And while you're at it, set your "ALSA_CARDS" variable in /etc/make.conf. It seems to be pulling in everything by default. -- Walter Dnes

Then you had to come along and mention IPv6 :-) IPv6 is wonderfully easy to use client-side and reasonably easy to plug into an existing network (the routers mostly know what to do already). The fun starts when you need to write an app that tracks and does range allocations at ISP scale, all while keeping the PTRs in line too.

Re: [gentoo-user] a11y kernel build
Ah - a11y sort of like i18n and l10n (at least in how to read it.) I just found a web page calling it a numeronym. After all your reading, I would still suggest thinking carefully about your goal. The link Peter sent has a good summary of all the "make Xc onfig" options, and I agree with him that "make localmodconfig" sounds like what you want. Extra "Y" or "M" in your config might save you from recompiling the kernel again later, but it makes your kernel larger, and take longer to compile and load, although how much those delays bother you is very personal.

If you edited the configs (or any other file) the edited version ends in the tarball. with buildpkg the package is created before the files are copied into the filesystem. Config files included in the tarball are 'virgin'. buildpkg is 'cleaner' because you get everything as it is installed. If you want to save your configs - well, regular backups of /etc is always a smart choice.

Do you use the gentoo sources > or the vanilla kernel? Hi, I use vanilla-sources and do not use initrd. Don't be confused about initramfs, it does not require you to use initrd. Basically just follow the directions on that webpage and it should work. Here I'll explain in different words in case it helps. :) 1. configure your kernel like it says on that page (CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y and CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y) 2. make the kernel 3. emerge klibc (if it's already installed, emerge it again so it builds against this newly-configured kernel) 4. emerge v86d 5. configure your kernel again, enable "Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support" 6. In "Initramfs source file(s)" type /usr/share/v86d/initramfs 7. Make and install the new kernel :) 8. Reboot and type "cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes" to see a list of compatible modes on your card. 9. Edit your kernel commandline in grub configuration file to add the uvesafb command. For example mine is video=uvesafb:1280x720p-59,mtrr:2,ywrap (you can replace 1280x720p-59 with the mode that your card supports from the previous step) 9. Reboot again and hopefully enjoy new high-resolution framebuffer :) Another way to make it look better is to use different console fonts. I'm using ter-112n from package media-fonts/terminus-font. You can set this in /etc/conf.d/consolefont (be sure consolefont is set as a boot service from rc-update). If you have a message in dmesg about mtrr type mismatch, you may need to change from mtrr:2 to another number. Please read the uvesafb documentation from linux kernel for more info: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt Good luck :) If you have any problems let me know and I can send you my kernel .config in case you want to compare settings.

I was talking about the difference between quickpkg and buildpkg in response to your statement "One thing I haven't found so far is what to put in make.conf to get the buildpkg feature to include the configs." I'm not sure that is doable actually. If you use buildpkg, there is no config except the "virgin" one that comes from the tarball. From my understanding, emerge builds the package, saves a copy to /usr/portage/All then installs the package to where ever it goes, presumably /. I think I see what you mean but I don't think there is anything to be saved since it is not installed when it is done. Someone correct me if I am wrong here. Dale :-) :-)

I don't find any info on what the syslog-ng ebuild does with
USE=systemd, I suspect it may want to use the fancy logging features
built into systemd.
Since you have it, but don't run it, does USE=-systemd fix the issue?

[gentoo-user] My first initramfs
Ok, looking into this now... Reading the referenced wiki page shows this comment: Introduction and bootloader configuration To create an initramfs, it is important that you know what additional drivers, scripts and tools you need to boot your system. For instance, if you use LVM, then you will need to support LVM tools on the initramfs. Likewise, if you use software RAID, you need mdadm, etc. I thought I'd mentioned/asked this before, but don't recall a satisfactory answer... Ok, up until now, I haven't *had* to 'know' what additional drivers are needed by my system to boot. So... how the heck am I supposed to find out? Trial and error? I do know I need lvm, so have that one listed... but what else? There has *got* to be some kind of way to analyze an existing system to reveal the 'drivers, scripts and tools' I need for my initramfs so I know what to include? And how to do this should be *fully* covered in that wiki page. I really feel like I'm being thrown to the wolves here.

How does a > single program on an nptl system generate all these different pids? Because Google Chrome is actually LOTS of programs. I don't know about akonadi (don't use KDE), but Chrome doesn't use threads; it uses different process for each tab (and for several plugins, I believe), and it integrates all those process in a single GUI using come kind of IPC. The idea is that if a tab crashes (bad pulgin, rogue JavaScript, etc.), it only crashes the tab, not the whole browser. It saves us from the nightmare that forced us to "killall -9 mozilla" from time to time some years ago. A thread is a "lightweight process"; it has its own call stack, but it shares the same memory space as its "parent" (actually, the thread that created it). The advantages are many: since all threads in the same process share the same memory space, they can easily and quickly communicate between each other. The tradeoff is that if one thread crashes, the whole program does (AFAIK, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). A process has its own call stack and its own memory space; and while it can share file descriptors with its parent (the process where it was created), including pipes, it cannot easily and quickly communicate with a process different from its parent (hence little wonders like dbus, whose job is precisely to provice Inter Process Communication [IPC] between different processes). For threads in Linux/Unix you usually use POSIX threads, although there are alternatives. For processes you use fork; everytime you use "ls" or "cp" in a terminal, or launch a program using KDE or GNOME, your shell or desktops forks a new process for it. Up until very recently most programs used threads to do several things at once; some years ago apache started to do a "hybrid" approach, where it forks or launches threads dependign on the load of the system, other server programs followed it. AFAIK, Google Chrome was the first desktop program in Linux which uses several processes runnning under the same GUI.

It's like going up to a random person and asking them if you should have your kitchen repainted and if so what color.

In other words, portage doesn't even recognize them as a option.

Hmm, well I can't tell you what to predict in regards to the list of flags
that you generated. The list is all over the place in regards to media and
web flags, yet the -kde and -gnome will hogtie most of the resulting
packages.
Use emerge --pretend to see what kind of results you'll actually get.
> Another question I'd like to ask if I need to include my CPU flags
In /etc/make.conf you define your CFLAGS to match your cpu. In your case
(which is just like mine) the following should suffice:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
You might want to add the USE options for the supported mmx, mtrr, etc. but I
honestly can't tell you what effects they actually have on the builds.

No it's not. The answer to the question: "Why DON'T refrain from
using unneeded software and systems?" is NOT: "Learning".
The answer is: "Do refrain fromusing systems that you don't need".
And for the majority of systems, this would include PAM. Eg.
if it's sufficient to use /etc/{passwd,shadow} as a password/user
database, then there's just no reason to use another (in this
case clearly: useless) layer on top of that. It just adds
unneeded and unwanted complexity for no gain.
So: Why use PAM on systems that fit to the scenario I laid
out?

Well, sometimes you may not want to include localhost. Maybe it has enough

If the faster machine isn't going to use any distcc nodes (other than
localhost) then you should remove distcc from FEATURES.

You can enable logging in /etc/conf.d/distccd.

export DISTCC_DIR="${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/.distcc" works for me. Maybe it

Your initial post to the thread did not include what works for you and did nothing to help the OP; you posted what actually works for you only after the OP had already thanked Alan, who had understood the issue and helped him (and you, AFAICT) get things straight. None of this is a very big deal, and I hope I didn't come across as too harsh. It's just that in almost all cases, it's more helpful to wait until someone who does understand posts than to jump in to help with something one doesn't understand.

But being part of the internet means that you should be playing by internet rules, therefore having the right time/date for the system. As far as compiling goes, it wouldn't matter either. I'd worry about the rsync process as, since you are in the future, the timestamps from your local system and the remote rsync mirror might indicate to your system that you're newer than what the mirror thinks.

If you emerged a package that used the gnomedb flag, but gnomedb has dependencies upon gnome, you're either going to be looking at a nasty message about a blocked package, the package won't install, or you'll get gnome anyway (note this is just an example, I don't know for sure what the gnomedb flag would incur). > Thanks for your response, but probably some one added to USE flags in > make.conf?

I don't have any clue what, if any, effect they have on the system. Many of the USE flags have descriptions available, but I haven't seen any sort of cross-reference that says when USE flag X is set, Y happens as a result. I look at these as clarifying the base system architecture, but do not have the same kind of impact as gnome/-gnome would have. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Like I said originally I'm not worried about it but at least you understood why I asked. One thing I haven't found so far is what to put in make.conf to get the buildpkg feature to include the configs. It's easy at the command line.

Well, I don't know much about java either, but 4 out of 5 java programs
I use are not started by "", but by "java (-jar)
". This would be the "java" command-line, I imagine.
Basically, the idea is that you have to invoke java so that java runs
the program. Because the first argument in the command is "java", you
are then able to use various command-line switches for Java (such as the
aforementioned "-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib") before telling Java what
program you want it to run (in this case "iriverter").
java -help
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-server to select the "server" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated]
The default VM is client.
-cp
-classpath
A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
and ZIP archives to search for class files.
-D=
set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
enable verbose output
-version print product version and exit
-version:
require the specified version to run
-showversion print product version and continue
-jre-restrict-search | -jre-no-restrict-search
include/exclude user private JREs in the version search
-? -help print this help message
-Xprint help on non-standard options
-ea[:...|:]
-enableassertions[:...|:]
enable assertions
-da[:...|:]
-disableassertions[:...|:]
disable assertions
-esa | -enablesystemassertions
enable system assertions
-dsa | -disablesystemassertions
disable system assertions
So I think what Trenton probably meant was that you should try starting
the program with
java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib iriverter
(assuming that iriverter is not a *.jar file in which case you'd need
-jar before iriverter).
You know, there's a high likelihood that the iriverter file in /usr/bin
is a script that is readable in a text editor.
You might want to see if you can have a look at it and see just what
it's doing. A readme that tells you how to run the program (man
iriverter? iriverter --help?) might be of some use, too.
Hope this helps,
Holly

There are, however, two other ways to get hostnames recognized. The first is /etc/resolv.conf . You can point your host at a local DNS server which is aware of the discovered hosts, and which forwards the rest of the queries. (This is how Samba 4's internal DNS server operates; anything it knows, it responds to. Everything else, it forwards.) Read the manpage for resolv.conf...there's a lot of stuff in there you'll want to know as you start coping with IPv6. (And some useful stuff if you want to favor a particular IP range...) The second is /etc/nsswitch.conf . nsswitch.conf is how you inject samba-discovered, NIS-offered -- or whatever provider you care to inject -- hostname databases into the system resolver. You could have it query your provided database first, moving on to other sources if your provided database doesn't have what you're looking for.

Actually I guess I could just download the the amd64 livecd, mount it, copy its kernel to the harddrive (already did emerge coldplug) and boot on it.

Some are defined in profiles, some are defined elsewhere. When I do updates, I see changes to USE flags all the time that were changed by the profile, the maintainer in the ebuild or somewhere else.

Same with kworldclock but not kde. And I started out using - -gnome and -kde. But have just stopped the practice. I just use -* at the beginning of my USE flags and select all the things I do want. The problem with -* is it makes everything minimal so you have to spend a lot of time adding in the things you want. To me that's preferable to getting a lot of what I don't want tagging along.

When I try it here it works for small amounts of text/pics, but unlike your LO, I do not have java installed as a dependency. An alternative you could try is to save the page as HTML - File/Save Page As. Then select one of the options to save it as below, which when you open with LO does not take long to process. If you select 'HTML page complete' it will save all JS and images in a separate folder, which you could delete thereafter, or repurpose as you see fit. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I did some more digging, and it seems you are correct in thinking that OOo should have this feature. But it doesn't seem to be enabled in the binary beta builds. I did an strace of the OOo startup under KDE, and it looks for but doesn't find a library named "libvclplug_kde608li.so". Since it doesn't find that, it drops to "libvclplug_gen680li.so", which is what results in the generic 'java' look. The closest I got to the KDE L&F is by installing the Geramik theme (x11-themes/gtk-engines-geramik), since I use Keramik in KDE, and updating my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file to include that. I also had to start OOo with "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome oowriter". If you don't like the look of Keramik/Geramik, you can probably find another GTK theme that you do like. Hopefully, a future build of the beta and/or the final release will include the KDE plugin. Cheers, -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Neat info. eix comes with some useful utilities like eix-test-obsolete which scans all your portage files and tells you which settings are redundant, duplicated and so on.

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel 2 manual

I want a smaller > kernel, a faster boot (without initramfs) and, of course, some fun :). Good for you. I've rolled my own kernels for around 15 years, but I still use genkernel to build me an initramfs. I require the initramfs because: a) I've got my root filesystem on an LVM partition. b) I've got my /usr directory on a separate partition. This is not a problem, yet, but the udev update is coming! c) I like a fancy boot splash screen during early boot. I'm not that fond of using genkernel to build my initramfs, but it works. I'll probably switch to dracut when it becomes more stable. > I'm still reading the oficial documentation, but I don't think it will be > enough, so, if anyone of you know some documentation more detailed, I'd > appreciate reading it. What do you mean by "official documentation"? Do you include the information in the Documentation directory in your latest kernel? Have you tried: $make menuconfig This gives you a good interface for configuring your kernel. If you hit "/" you'll get a search function and there are "help" options for just about every feature you want to include in your new kernel. > I've just ran 'make xconfig', and I noticed that the configuration is the > same from genkernel (genkernel --menuconfig).

I usually start from scratch with a new machine, but in your case you should be able to use your old genkernel .config file and then pare it down to what you require ie what works. > Is there any tool that can scan my pc and help me out with the .conf or > even generate one?

I think this will be the fun part, but I think I > can't get a running kernel before I optimize it, so I can do it gradually. I have had reasonable success with "lshw" (sys-apps/lshw). It generates a list of the hardware on your machine. Unfortanately it won't produce a .config file for you. One option that makes subsequent kernels easier to produce is: CONFIG_IKCONFIG Kernel .config support This feature provides copy of your current Kernel's .config file at /proc/config.gz which you can then extract and use on your new kernel by doing: $ zcat /proc/config.gz > /.config $ cd $ make oldconfig > Just for curiosity, what is the size of your kernel? Mine is 3.4 MB. 3.7MB Yep.. it's bigger than your genkernel generated kernel... 8-) Remember, the first kernel you produce on your own will take a bit of effort, but subsequent kernels are easy. -- Regards, Gregory.
