Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: multicore strange issue
2008/6/3 Konrad Okurowski [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, IMO when performing make after make clean and make menuconfig (assuming you want to change something in kernel) builds kernel image and modules as well. After that I run rm -rf /lib/modules/kernel dir and make make modules_install. Then there shouldn't be any problem. (also [emerge -av $(qdepends -CNQ virtual/linux-sources)] would be nice). Kfiaciarka 2008/6/3 Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Beso [EMAIL PROTECTED] posted [EMAIL PROTECTED], excerpted below, on Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:01:04 +: the problem is that with the old normal config the kernel detects one processor and one core and it works, loading the modules, but when enabling simetric multiprocessing the kernel detects just one processor and one core and then it fails to load modules because of a different executable format in the modules. This indicates that the modules and the kernel aren't matched. IOW, you apparently compiled the new kernel but failed to compile the matching modules, so it's trying to use the old ones, which don't match the new kernel, so it won't load them. Even if it's the exact same kernel you compiled, if you change options, particularly something as big as SMP, you'll need to recompile the kernel modules as well. Also note that if you use an initrd/initramfs, you'll need to redo it, loading the new modules as appropriate into it as well as placing them in the normal /lib/modules/kern-ver/ dir. I don't run an initramfs/ initrd, so have never learned the technical intricacies thereof, but wherever it's trying to load them from, you don't have the right ones there for it to load. One way or the other, with or without the initrd/initramfs, the kernel is trying to load modules that don't match the kernel, and failing. Correct that, and you will have fixed at least that problem, altho it's possible you'll then have others to fix as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

Don't worry about it. I'm sure most of us eventually hit that or a similar modules/kernel mismatch error. I know I've seen it when I boot my rootbak partition (on which I keep a backup system image, from a time it was known to be generally working) and the kernel in /boot is newer than the modules on rootbak, one of the reasons I recognized it. ps. duncan, when you've got some spare time could you please post the scripts for the kernel automation build if it's not bothersome. thanks again.

[gentoo-amd64] Ebuild HOWTO
Okay, I've gone over the docs and the HOWTOs on gentoo.org and I'm still a wee bit (okay maybe a lot) fuzzy on developing/updating ebuilds. I have a particular app I use quite often (DVDStyler), but the ebuild in portage is pretty old (1.5.2_p2) compared to the latest version available (1.6.2), the difference being about a year between them. I know I can just compile the source for the latest, but I'd like to update the ebuild to learn how to do it. The docs however, aren't helpful from the standpoint that there's no clear cut procedure for setting up a devel environment for building/testing an ebuild locally without becoming a gentoo developer, per se. Me, I rather like having step-by-step instructions on my first go round so I can 'do it right' the first time, then I'll know how to fix it if I bork something. Is there something like that floating around? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-amd64] wxSVGXML?
Thanks to everyone for helping this ebuild n00b get working. I've get everything setup, but now I've hit a snag. The ebuild I am working on requires svgxml.h and I cannot find that file. With other distros it's in the wxsvg-devel package (or similar), but I can't find one for that in Gentoo. With wxsvg, there's a wxSVG and wxXML folder in /usr/include/, but neither have this file. I don't even know where to begin looking for it in Gentoo.

I don't even know where to begin looking for it in Gentoo. Ideas? I don't have the file and don't have any of the wxWidgets installed, but at a guess... wrong version. This seems to be confirmed with a search: Google this for the fedora 1.0 beta 10 package: wxsvg-devel-1.0-0.8.b10 svgxml.h Now replace the b10 with b9, b8, etc. No hits. Delete the svgxml.h bit and you get hits again, so it's seeing the package, just not that file in the package. Therefore, it would seem that file was added in beta 10. Unfortunately, Gentoo's tree is outdated, with only the beta 7 ebuild. A quick check of bugzy results in: media-libs/wxsvg-1.0_beta10 version bump request http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215665 Seems they're working on it, but it needs some patches to work with Gentoo, and while it's building, it isn't actually functional (segfaults). So... you can try hacking that ebuild and see if you can get it to work, or building and installing manually, to see if that works. I'd certainly suggest CCing yourself to the bug. It's also possible that whatever you are trying to build against that header file, you can either find an older version that builds against beta 7, or maybe, you can merge the building but segfaulting beta 10, and not have it matter if all you need are the header files. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
