[gentoo-user] full shutdown
Hi there, this must be simple (it always is) but I can't figure out by myself. I have one of the first eeepc (4gb) and when issuing `shutdown -h now` the computer shutdown perfectly but forgets to cut the current. I have to press the power button 4 sec to cut it manually. I'm recompiling the kernel almost as often as I breathe and i wonder if I'm not missing some steps (during or after)... I have acpi installed and init.d/acpi is started. acpi support was compiled in kernel and i tried with and without the CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS with no difference. I'm using kernel 2.6.24 (for several drivers that are most compatible with this one). I have almost the same install on 2 different PCs (with obvious tweakings in kernel options and /etc) and the most recent one shuts down correctly, the older one does the same thing as my eeepc... When recompiling the kernel, I do: make make modules_install; then I recompile the drivers i have and install them, is there anything else i should recompile, like should i re-emerge acpi? Also, I dont think it's related but, when doing 'startx', after, when shutting down, the console screen doesnt update and is stuck on the x11 and fvwm2 messages... it doesnt show the progress, any ideas? (this is secondary though) Thanks in advance guys! Simon -- When Earth was the only inhabited planet in the Galaxy, it was a primitive place, militarily speaking.

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird Message Filter Script

I forgot to stress something: after some version of app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo at least as recent as 1.0 becomes stable, you may want to remove the line app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo from the file you have edited, so that Portage will go back to its normal behavior of seeking stable versions of the package. Anyway, using a testing (not officially stable) version of a single, simple package is unlikely to lead to problems. I prefer to use stable, tested package versions in my system, but one small exception for a small and simple package is harmless. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free. --Linus Torvalds
Re: [gentoo-user] coretemp and smartbatt drivers for lm_sensors
Paul Hartman wrote: Also, if you are new to lm_sensors, beware that sensors-detect only works on a subset of the supported sensor chipsets. On my computer, for example, it detected the wrong chipsets which sort of worked (gave wrong/incomplete readings). I had to manually tell it which sensor chipset my motherboard uses. Okay. I got i2c_i801.ko and coretemp.ko created and loaded in the kernel. The CONFIG_ACPI_SBS=m parameter creates two modules: sbs.ko and sbshc.ko; modprobe sbs loades both; hence no smartbatt. The relevant section from sensors-detect output is Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 18a0 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it?

One thing is not clear to me, does the procedure write something to the chip on the card or to the system (pc) bios. Also I don't see any evidence this upgrade would make the card work with those 750 drives. Even worse, I'd have to install the card on a different machine since the one I needed it for has no floppy. And it appears I'd either need to install it on a windows machine or install a little free dos application that allows user to create a bootable floppy to get the job done. I'm starting to wonder if this is really worth the effort when I may find it still doesn't work for newer 750s. I think I'd almost have to hear from someone who has used it with newer drives to keep on with it. It cost $42 which I hate to just throw away, but there is some chance the Digiconepts that I bought it from will give me some kind of exchange for something known to work in the situation I need it in. You've helped me an awful lot. I wish I new your tricks for turning up information... it always seems to take me forever to find what I need on the internet.

Even worse, I'd have to install the card on a different machine since the one I needed it for has no floppy. And it appears I'd either need to install it on a windows machine or install a little free dos application that allows user to create a bootable floppy to get the job done. If you can manage to get a floppy disk image via dosbox or wine or something, or by making the disk on a machine that does have a floppy drive, it should be possible to burn it to a CD or bootable USB device. This page has some instructions on how to burn a floppy image to CD: http://linux-issues.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-make-bootable-msdos-cd-from.html But, I think you're probably right... it seems more and more likely that the controller just doesn't work with drives of that size. :( One last random idea; several years ago on my old 266MHz Pentium II, it only supported drives up to about 16GB or so... I got an 80GB drive and the machine wouldn't get through POST with it attached, it would just freeze when it got to that point, apparently because the motherboard/BIOS didn't support drives that large. I managed to get around this problem by unplugging the drive, then booting into the BIOS and /disabling/ that drive (rather than having it set to Auto detect or manually defining the drive geometry). That caused it to skip it entirely during the boot process, which allowed the operating system (OS/2 Warp) to load off of my boot drive (which was within the BIOS limits), at which point the OS detected the drive and it worked just fine. I don't know how (or if) you could do that with your add-in controller but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case it may apply. Good luck, Paul
