[gentoo-user] How to nail the order of modules loaded
Hi, I have a box that serves as a firewall and thus has different NICs. However when booting I run into a problem: One of the NICs needs the de4x5 driver another the tulip one. Udev loads tulip first, which then tries to claim the card the needs de4x5 but this does not work. So I have to manually set things straight after- wards. Is there a way to force it to first load de4x5 and then tulip? /etc/modules.autoload.d seems to be used too late. Regards, Konstantin -- Dipl-Inf. Konstantin Agouros aka Elwood Blues.

No, it does not make sense. You don't even need an initrd. Guess you can do the same, at least if you don't have dm-crypt mappings, or you can try adding device-mapper to sysinit level directly. As said above, it's not not needed. Maybe it's better to investigate wether there are any leftovers from baselayout 1 in the runlevels.

You can let udev assign persistant names to your network interfaces.
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

Could he not just build the modules into the kernel and then not have to
worry about the loading at all? Heck, the only module I use is nvidia
but it is not a in kernel option.
Just a though. He may have a reason for using modules.

KDE-3.5 libs always go in /usr/kde/3.5/lib
KDE-4 libs go in /usr/lib or /usr/kde/4/lib depending on your

Symlinks are not likely to work, as karbon-1.6.2 wants to build against

Re: [gentoo-user] How to nail the order of modules loaded
Am Samstag 20 Juni 2009 18:10:20 schrieb Konstantinos Agouros: Naming makes the order irrelevant. How so? Because you no longer have eth0 and eth1 which may be one or the other NIC depending on module load order or in which order the kernel discovers the NICs. Look at my example rules again: Each interface is identified by its MAC address and given a unique name. Since the MAC addresses never change, the names will also stay the same, regardless of module loading order or interface discovery order. HTH...

I also do not think that building the modules in the kernel gives me any control over the order in which they are discovered. It does if you build one into the kernel. But this is a kludge, depending on the meaning of doesn't work, either a udev rule or module options should handle this cleanly. -- Neil Bothwick How do a fool and his money GET together? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] lvm problem -- is timing?
Guess you can do the same, at least if you don't have dm-crypt mappings, or you can try adding device-mapper to sysinit level directly. Here's my boot sequence (from rc.log): rc sysinit logging started at Fri Jun 12 04:24:55 2009 No good. rc-update shows udev, devfs, dmesg, device-mapper in sysinit runlevel. But the word 'sysinit' doesn't appear even once in the entire rc.log. Another clue? FWIW I stopped dm-crypt from being loaded to test whether I really need it. Makes no difference. mw
Re: [gentoo-user] lvm problem -- is timing?
As said above, it's not not needed. Maybe it's better to investigate wether there are any leftovers from baselayout 1 in the runlevels. This was at How? least the reason I got an unbootable system after switching to bl 2. I upgraded to bl-2 to avoid this problem but it didn't help. The system boots but is crippled until the vgs are mounted by hand. mw

I got this setting from the gentoo localization guide (the google cache still shows that version), which now suggests using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 - any idea why the second UTF-8 would be necessary? It's described in the german version only. I have it set to de_DE.UTF8 now. I think that the localization guide refers to /etc/locale.gen which uses the format: locale charmap So, de_DE.UTF-8 is the locale (as shown in /usr/share/i18n/locales/) and UTF-8 is the character map (as shown in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

After reading your initial post in this thread again, that explains the problem. You have dm-crypt and dm-mod compiled as modules. Module loading is the first thing to happen in the boot runlevel. But the sysinit runlevel is executed before the boot runlevel. That means, when your device-mapper init script runs, it doesn't even have its module loaded. So you should really put device-mapper into the boot runlevel. And btw, why do compile things as modules which you need in any case? Doesn't make sense to me. Bye...

[gentoo-user] Mouse artifact in Xorg
Hi All, I have not been able to capture a screenshot and I am not sure how to describe this problem well, but here it goes. If I exit xorg and then get back into it, on occasions there is a 17.5mm square shaded artifact showing up where the mouse is. The cursor itself is located at the top left hand side of the square. The square is semi-transparent with 4 horizontal brighter lines interspersed with dark lines. Moving the mouse around across different windows and the desktop eventually makes it disappear. I thought that this was a fluxbox/xorg incompatibility issue on my laptop - but it seems that the same problem happens on a desktop which is running kdm and kde. I just about recall another thread on this in the last couple of months, but failed to find it just now. Have you noticed anything similar? Any way I could fix it? I am running: 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2 x11-wm/fluxbox-1.0.0-r2 -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] lvm problem -- is timing?
So you should really put device-mapper into the boot runlevel. And btw, why do compile things as modules which you need in any case? Doesn't make sense to me. I put device-mapper into the boot runlevel. I re-compiled the kernel with dm-mod=*, dm_crypt=*, mmc_block=* and rebooted. No change. Near the start of boot messages this appears: *Setting up the Logical Volume Manager Locking type 1 initilisation failed. There follows a couple of screenfuls of self-abuse then *ERROR: lvm failed to start. Followed by fsck.ext2 complaining it can't read the volumes, naturally, since they're are'nt mounted. a screenful or two of this then * Some local filesystems failed to mount La di da Then *Configuring kernel parameters... Finally the volumes are found and mounted and the login appears. All seems normal except that under /etc/init.d depscan.sh and runscript.sh are flashing white on red indicating that they now point to nothing. And whatever else I haven't spotted yet. mw
[gentoo-user] how to build xen kernel with genkernel 3.4.10?
Hi, According to gentoo bug #120236, genkernel will not directly support build xen kernel. Does this means I will have to apply the patch in the bug whenever I want to build my xen kernel with genkernel? My system is build on LVM, so I need genkernel to build the start up script to active LVM. Is there a better way to build xen kernel with genkernel? -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84
