Jesus, take your meds already. Roman has only been trying to help you throughout this long sorry episode. This is NOT about your past Unix yada yada, but how well you follow kernel devel, won't look on the Gentoo forums for answers and generally take help. It is not make bzimage for one, it is make, make modules_install, make install. Boot with a Live CD and chroot into yer install, remove ALL options for IDE period. Check SATA. Build, change all HDxxx to SDxx run your bootloader and TADA fixed Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

When I have a chance to fully a address the problem again, if I still have a problem I will take the information you request and post it, as I said, to a private URL, which I will post to this list, and NOT send it out to a gazillion subscribers who aren't interested. This is the way patches, configs, emerge --info, etc is done on many forums and mailing lists. This is the way it WILL be done in this case, and I'm sure you can deal with it. This is NOT an operation of a few dozen seconds. I will post to this list when I have time to fully focus on the problem. In the meantime, I don't intend to argue with you or anyone else about what does or does not constitute proper netiquette. I'm 69 years old, have been programming in numerous languages and working with Unix since the mid 80s, have been working with Linux since kernel v1.x.x in the 90s, am past president of the oldest Unix pofessional society in Austin, TX, co-founder of the oldest Linux Users Group in Austin, have moderated more mailing lists than I care to remember, run a small but well respected hosting service here, and am not without knowledge and resources. I come to this list with this problem not because you, or anyone else "knows more than I do", but because people may have technical insights or suggestions that may help me understand what's going on. Let's keep it to that going forward. > The second of my specific suggestions into a more fruitful future is: > read what people ask of you. Jesus, Roman! BACK OFF!! I'm sorry if I offended you, but your response is offensive to me. All it does is annoy me and encourage the script kiddies on the list to take cheap shots at me. I appreciate your insights, but please let's stick to the technical issues. _IF_ I need to, I will post the material you request in the manner I've noted previously, at such time as I have my work on the problem better organized. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours. OK? Again, I sincerely apologize if I've wasted your time, or anyone else's on this list, and I'll try to keep my posts to a minimum going forward until I have more to report. Again, going forward, PLEASE stick to technical matters and let's let issues of style, netiquette, etc. alone. Thank you, and 'nuff said about that. And again, please accept my apology. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Never expect the people who caused a problem FMP Computer Services | to solve it." - Albert Einstein 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com |
