[gentoo-user] fstab problem
G'day there Gentoo List Members, I originally wrote a query in this message inquiring into non-root access, but before sending it I found the answer in the forums. I've now fixed that problem (thanks very much to the Gentoo community), but I still have one to go and I'm stumped.. My fstab file is thus: # fs mountpointtype opts dump/pass # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. /dev/hdb5 /boot ext3noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/hdb7 / ext3noatime 0 0 /dev/hdb6 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /usrext3noatime 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom_0iso9660 users,noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom_1iso9660 users,noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/hd0/mnt/floppy vfatusers,rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/c_driventfsusers,ro,auto 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/d_driveumsdos 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/e_drivevfatusers,rw,auto 0 0 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/f_driveufs ufstype=old 0 0 /dev/hdb4 /mnt/g_drivevfatusers,rw,auto 0 0 or at least, these are the bits I've put in there. Can anyone please give me some advice as to how to read FreeBSD partitions under Linux? I've tried various options for the ufstype as outlined in the manpages for mount fstab, but without success. /dev/hdb3 is a 20gig partition on which I've installed a FreeBSD filesystem with the usual subpartitions as set up by the 'auto' function in their version of fdisk. I'd like to have lilo offer it on bootup along with Gentoo Win_XP, but I can't seem to get Gentoo Linux to recognise what's there. I've never tried to fiddle with BSD before, so I'm sure that the install is OK, but I've got something wrong here. Any ideas as to what I've done wrong? I should add that /dev/hdb3 is, I think, an extended partition with hdb10, hdb11, hdb12, and hdb13 inside it. See ya thanks Ken McLennan Brisbane, Australia. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] PPPoATM
Title: Message Hi, I'm using kernel 2.4.22 and configured it with support for PPP over ATM. So, I have the module pppoatm.o. Now I want to use pppd 2.4.1with an ATM card (ENI 155). Examples of configuration like this all use pppoatm.so as a plugin but I don't have this library. Should I still apply all the pppd patches, found at http://www.sfgoth.com/~mitch/linux/atm/pppoatm/,in order to run pppd with PPPoATM ? Or how should I use the pppoatm.o module ?

RE: [gentoo-user] how to make own version of LiveCD?
Short answer: You can do just about anything you want. Its all a matter of figuring it out. i am going to make my own version of the livecd, i read the thread on the forum, but i still have questions, is it possible to recompile it all? and then add more stuff too, and will it be possible to integrate portage into it and stuff? Your going to have to realize a couple things.. First, everything that can be written, must be on ramdisk since you can't assume you will find a hard drive to write it too. The more dynamic stuff you have, the bigger the ramdisk. You will run out of memory real fast if you think your going to be able to do a emerge sync into a ramdisk. But, As I said, you can do it. anothing thing, when the livecd loads, you can choose between 2 kernels, gentoo kernel, and gentoo smp kernel, would it be possible for me to have a 2.6 kernel and a 2.4 kernel? and in case, how? I have no idea why gentoo's livecd doesn't have a bigger selection of kernels.. Thats a low amount of disk space. But thats just configuring grub, or whatever you use, to handle all the kernels before you make the iso and making sure all the kernels compile everything you need.. This all depends on what kind of live cd you want, something a bunch of computers can use, or build one for a specific pc you have.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] XFree Emerge Problem On New Install
Here is the submitted bug, I added my bug to the comment. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32221 When I do # emerge xfree In line 594 of the build I am getting an error to Undefined Reference to MGA. Investigating a little bit, It seems to be with xf86site.def building the MGA driver. However the mga HALdriver is not pulled from the web by default in the ebuild, in additiion if enabled the file does not exist nor can I finde it. I do not own a MGA card, I have an nvidia card, I been trying to patch around it and build it without MGA driver installed, but no sucesss. This is what I done to get where I am. and probably stuff i should leave out. I used the 2.6.0 experminatal install, ( i have previously installed gentoo before ) then pulled the expermintall install of the stage1, and proceeded to build the system. No bugs to report on that, everything installed just fine. I built the system on linux 2.6.0-test8 development-sources (few modules), I have done multipule emerge syncs in the last few days (and hours).

Re: [gentoo-user] fstab problem
G'day there Hall, I know NOTHING about FreeBSD filesystems or partition types, but it's Well, that makes 2 of us =) possible you have to compile support into your kernel for this. Maybe it's Hmmm... hadn't thought of kernel support. It's an obvious one now that you've pointed it out though. already there as a module too though... You should probably check that first. I'll have a look. It does appear that ufs is the proper filesytem type as you've specified already. That's something then. Not all is lost. This is a whole different issue. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and add an 'image' section for FreeBSD. You'll have multiple image sections already - two, at I've got to have Gentoo see the partition first though, so that I can enter its path. least, Gentoo and WinXP. Just duplicate the format for the new FreeBSD section. 'root' should be /dev/hdb3, per your /etc/fstab listing. When you're done editing, run /sbin/lilo as root user. That shouldn't be too difficult.

It allows you to build modules for any given kernel by following the link in /usr/src/linux. This is not going to change anytime soon. Just be aware that if you need to update your drivers in the future that you should modify that symlink to point to the appropriate kernel source that you wish to build the modules for. Sorry, I forgot about this little feature, else I would have warned you from the start. :-( Also - I read in another thread responding to this about running opengl-update nvidia - this is only necessary if you've changed your opengl drivers. The ebuild for nvidia-opengl runs this command for you once you've emerged the nvidia-opengl package. If, in the future, you upgrade XFree, you will need to run the command opengl-update nvidia again. It only needs to happen when your opengl libs have changed.

[gentoo-user] Re: Asus A7N8X-Deluxe - What kernel works? - Itboots SATA!
Mark, Try editing your /etc/conf.d/hdparm file and customizing for the sata drive. I have something like: # disc0_args=-d1 -X66 # disc1_args-d1 # cdrom0_args=-d1 # Or, you can set hdparm options for ALL drives using all_args.. # eg. # this mimics the behavior of the current script all_args=-d1 -c1 -u1 -Z So when I run hdparm I get: hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount= 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq= 1 (on) using_dma= 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead= 8 (on) geometry = 620/64/63, sectors = 2502308, start = 0 Try the hdparm man page for a complete listing of all options. If you know exactly what your motherboard and hard drive support you can tweak it a lot. NOTE: Do an rc-update add hdparm boot to get the parmeters in the above mentioned file to work on bootup. WARNING be carefull because you can kill or corupt the hard drive with unsupported options. Good luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Asus A7N8X-Deluxe - What kernel works? - Itboots SATA!
David, Thanks. I'm actually pretty familiar with hdparm itself. My lack of boldness was whether to push the envelope on this new SATA drive. Are you running SATA? I see some threads on the web where people are getting 120MB/S from SATA, which is exciting. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet and tried it.
