Especially if you use select() you have to use a fixed size bitfield, which is IIRC 1024 bits long. I'd say you would need to do more than just raise the _allowed_ number of FDs per process.

[gentoo-user] How-to trouble shoot emerge/ebuild error messages...
My first question is: 1 Does someone have a standard operating proceedure for on how to troubleshoot package compilation errors to get the most info possible to pass along to the list and/or Gentoo Forums? 2Is there a log that is kept somewhere in Gentoo when a package fails with errors? If so, where please? My example below... This is the only one that I was able to catch from the shell output.. But allot of others failed as well because when I do a emerge -uDp world it keeps listing the same files that fail continously when I try emerge -uD world... The bad thing is, is that these take forever to compile and then they fail right at the end. My computer has spent all day compiling/upgrading 33 pkgs and these keep failing. I'm running with all Gentoo 2.4.20r5 defaults with no modifications to the make.conf file what so ever.. So I should only be receiving stable packages...NO? Calculating world dependencies ...done!

[gentoo-user] advice regarding LVM needed
Hi! Recently I bought Gentoo 1.4 and installed it on my 2nd HD's free space (WD - 80G) wanting to have a slow transition from SuSE to Gentoo (to keep old mail, news ..). I emerged binary packages of X KDE and then started to slowly emerge other components. However, three days ago, my old HD (IBM) started to *die* and I can clearly hear the sounds of imminent death. Now I bought a new HD - 120 G while my /home partition is on WD (together with Gentoo install.) Today I'm going to trash my old IBM HD (together with SuSE :-) and install a new one, so I'm thinking about LVM install. Do you recommend it for two HDs (120G 80G) install on home machine? (the 80G HD I'd like to use mostly for future video-editing and I'm used to have Reiser fs on my partitions - except /boot.) In Gentoo's LVM docs it is recommended NOT to put /etc /lib /mnt /proc /sbin /dev /root in LVM partition. Any hint?

So unless you use an initrd to do the volume discovery at boot time, you should leave /boot and / on standard partitions, the rest can be on LVM volumes. However, if you think you'll need to resize / anytime in the future, use an initrd and put / on LVM also.

[gentoo-user] post emerge config changes
Last night I did an emerge sync last night followed by a emerge -uD world when it had finished i had 24 ._cfg_. type files that needed changing.. This was a VERY laborious task to complete.. and made even more annoying by the fact that some of the cfg file it wanted me to change were no different from the other other ones apart from the date at the top of the file!! Surely there is a better way to update shit.. possibly some sort of script that compares the two files and only shows what is different between the two.. that way we can make faster easier changes/decisions..

The link above was set when you extracted your stage[1..3] tarball. You should never edit anything in /usr/portage because it'll just get overwritten when you emerge sync. As for giflib and libungif, libungif provides functionality that giflib already contains. The ebuild is aware of this and (I'm guessing) links against giflib instead of using its own implementation. It seems, from the error messages you first provided, that kdegraphics requires libungif regardless of the use flags but that the ebuild doesn't show the explicit dependency. If you now try to emerge kdegraphics and it works, then that is definately the case and thus a bug report is required... Make sense? Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The USE declaration is parsed one word at a time. The first word (meaning string of chars separated by whitespace) is -*. When portage encounters it, portage clears all USE flags it's picked up from /etc/make.profile/make.defaults and wherever else. The shell still takes precedence over /etc/make.conf however. I've only done this because sometimes there are small changes to make.defaults which of course aren't advertised. Sometimes I use emerge depclean and this way I can be sure that nothing will break due to use flags (unless it's because of my own negligence). Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] 2.6 issues.
Hi folks... I have been playing with 2.6 for a while now (mm-sources-2.6.0-test5). For the most part I am happy with it. The only real issue that I have had is logging in. When I boot into 2.4, I can login to my system without any problems. When I boot into 2.6 and try to login as a user the system hangs. I am able to log in as root and then su - to a user, but that's a headache. I have tried logging in at a prompt, using xdm and using kdm... All fail.

When the login hangs, I try to do a SysRq+T to get the state, but the machine slowly prints (literally takes about 10 seconds and you can see each character printed individually): SysRq : Show State and then quits.

[gentoo-user] Promise hw RAID and Gentoo 1.4 livecd
I'm building a system with an ASUS P4C800 Delux mb which has an onboard Promise PDC20378 controller chipset. I've read the discussions on this list from last spring about Gentoo and Promise raid, but am still having trouble, and everything I can find on google indicates that a lot of people are having the same problems and that solutions are hard to come by. I'm trying to get at the RAID array from the livecd, v1.4-20030911. modprobe ataraid- works OK modprobe pdcraid- fails According to what I've read, there were problems with the Promise raid driver in kernel 2.4.19 but the livecd uses 2.4.21. I can fall back on Linux software raid, but it'd really rather not have to deal with the boot issues involved. One of the reasons I paid the extra $$ for this mb was because it had the onboard hw raid.

The CPU is an Intel 2.60GHZ/512/800 (2.6 GHz, 512 cache, 800Mhz sys. bus) which supports hyperthreading according to Intel's website, and the mb manual indicates that the hyperthreading option isn't offered in the BIOS unless it's enabled in the CPU.

Just copy your .config file from your old kernel directory into the ac-sources dir, and type make oldconfig at the prompt. This will only prompt you for new options.

QUESTION 2: What is the process to create these files if I want them? You must build a new kernel to create these files, then copy them from the /usr/src/linux/ location to /boot. Ask again, if you don't know how to build a kernel, or still betterm RTFM (google, gentoo documentation, redhat documentation, etc., etc.). QUESTION 3: What is the difference between booting from a vmlinuz file and a bzImage file? There is no difference; the names are whatever you pick. The kernel build process creates/usr/src/linux.../System.map (symbols map) and /usr/src/linux.../arch/i386/boot/bzImage (bootable kernel). You then copy these files to /boot and name them whatever you like, example /boot/System-map-latest and /boot/bzImage-latest. Then you update your grub or lilo boot loader controls to allow boot from the /boot/bzImage-latest. Many people like to include symlinks ln -s /boot/System.map-latest /boot/System.map and ln -s /boot/bzImage-lastest /boot/vmlinuz QUESTION 4: Does having these -r5 files impact running -r7 if the -r7 versions don't exist and the links point to the -r5 versions? There is absolutely no impact in having mulitple map and kernel files on /boot. You must specify the appropriate kernel name in a stanza in your boot manager (grub or lilo), and you may have multiple choices. The only problem you are likely to encounter is with modules when you are using something like nvidia which installs for a particular kernel release only.

Re: [gentoo-user] What creates System.map, config and vmlinuz?
They are created during a kernel build (make dep make ). vmlinuz is a linux kernel. Some distros use this while others use bzImage. Wen I move bzImage to /boot I usually rename the Gentoo bzImage to vmlinuz-x.y.z where x.y.z is a version such as 2.4.20. I'm just used to seeing vmlinuz due to past experience. System.Map contains symbols used for debugging as far as I know. You probably can live without it as I've had System.map for kernel x when I'm running kernel y.
