My guess is, you upgraded the kernel and fell into the commonly experienced PATA driver burn -- there's two driver sets now, an experimental one and the old ones, and you have to make sure to get the right one for your configuration. And if you use the new one, you have to be aware that it is attached to the SCSI subsystem now. This means that you have to enable SCSI as well as support for SCSI disks (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y) and SCSI cdroms (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m = sr_mod.ko), just as you would do with SATA. Bye...

If your server is down and someone tries to send you mail and the dns lookup fails would the sending mailserver mark it as a failure immediately?

Re: [gentoo-user] convert rpm to ebuild
quoth the Florian Philipp: Maybe I should formulate another question: Where is the big difference between a binary ebuild and a binary rpm / deb and why is it so hard to convert them? Another thought: Unless I've missed it, you've not mentioned *what* it is you have an RPM for. Have you checked bugzilla, and all the various overlays yet to see if there *is* a user-contributed ebuild for it? darren kirby My problem is that I don't have any - yet. I'm going to work for a company that uses RedHat and I will have to use my private laptop (Gentoo, of course). Since they develop software themselves I fear that I will have to use some of their customized or self-developed and not published software without access to the source (I don't think they'll trust me so much in the beginning). Well, it doesn't seem like there is an easy solution so I will play around with rpms in a chroot-jail to get used to it. If everything goes wrong I can still switch to an rpm-based distribution ...

You could use a script. e.g.

cd $(dirname $(locate $1 | head -n 1))
The head -n 1 will avoid it falling over when locate returns more than
one hit, although it will still break if there are no hits. Maybe,
although I haven't tested it, something like

Try to change it into the simpler root = /dev/sda1 or remove it altogether, since you already specified the root device in the global section. Also, you seem to have a SCSI or SATA drive (the output of lspci would help here). All SCSI low-level drivers are disabled in your config, so I guess you have a SATA drive. But, you have also disabled all the SATA drivers (it's the Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers section). This could happen if you did make oldconfig using a pre-2.6.19 config file, because SATA drivers moved under CONFIG_ATA starting from 2.6.19.

Re: [gentoo-user] no CD or DVD but rules seem correct-FIXED-or, not
And if you use the new one, you have to be aware that it is attached to the SCSI subsystem now. This means that you have to enable SCSI as well as support for SCSI disks (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y) and SCSI cdroms (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m = sr_mod.ko), just as you would do with SATA. Thanks, Dirk but that's not the problem anymore. Problem is persistent-CD.rules that keeps getting re-written every boot. I've already written a 10-local.rules to handle my _one_ CD, /dev/cdrom- /dev/hdc and _one_ DVD, /dev/dvd- /dev/hdd drive but persistent seems to think the symlinks should be called /dev/cdrom4 and /dev/cdrom5. I delete the persistant file, like I say, but it gets rewritten when I reboot and re-establishes the wrong symlinks, I suspect by /lib/udev/write_cd_rules.

RE: [gentoo-user] convert rpm to ebuild
Hi I follow this treat now for a while, but something is still missing here. RPM is not just a Binary Package. I agree most of them are. Some of the RPM´s also have some scripts embedded which are not handled if you convert it with rpm2targz or simular. For example i still look for an way to convert Legate Networker RPM´s to Gentoo Ebuild without manual extracting those scripts which are normaly handled at installtime by the RPM System :-(. --http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html- Install/Erase-time Scripts The other type of scripts that are present in the spec file are those that are only used when the package is either installed or erased. There are four scripts, each one meant to be executed at different times during the life of a package: * Before installation. * After installation. * Before erasure. * After erasure. --- By the way does someone have an idea how this can be done easily without extracting them manualy ?? Building an Binary Gentoo Ebuild from just Binary RPM´s no problem so far, but if those scripts needed for installation, the hard life goes on.

I recompile the kernel without any ati support and installed 8.35.5 driver without a problem. But aticonfig claims it can't run because of an invalid xorg.conf file and i can't generate a new one with 'Xorg -configure' it just prints this error: marvin / Xorg -configure X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r7 i686 Current Operating System: Linux marvin 2.6.20-gentoo-r7 #6 SMP Fri May 11 17:52: 30 GMT 2007 i686 Build Date: 11 May 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Server aborting Aborted Have you tried this with removing fglrx? I've had similar issues with other video drivers, and by removing fglrx from the equation I've been able to at least get X to fire up. Currently I'm supporting the theory that Young Sun is right, and that the problem is the version of Xorg. Tomorrow I will try to uninstall the compiled drivers from ati and try the open source drivers. If that doesn't work I'm feeling inclined to buy a new nvidia card instead. Maybe I could also try to make the onboard S3 savage card work, although I have never been a big fan of graphic cards with shared memory. Thanks again for all the help Johannes -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL
