Is there some way I can be notified when a change occurs in the discussion tab? Email/whatever? Watch the page. On mediawiki there will be a button near the top called watch. The wiki then mails you every time something changes on the page -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Invalid modules format?!
Use uname -r to check that the kernel version in that path matches the kernel version you are running. Also note that if you changed anything important in your kernel and recompiled it you might need to recompile the external module as well. What important means depends on the module itself, and the pieces of the kernel it uses. Also, always double check that the /usr/src/linux symlink is pointing to the right kernel tree (the one that uname -r says you are running). -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
[gentoo-user] Cannot see Grub menu
Hi there So after the recent thread here about 32bit/64bit and some arguments from a friend, I made the switch from 32 bit to 64 bit (with a clean install from scratch of course). There’s one big problem I’m having: I cannot see the Grub (legacy) boot menu. It still functions alright, but I don’t see it. When I switch on the machine, after POST I see the loading grub and stage 1.5 message, but then the screen isn’t updated. I can still do my selection and press Enter, and then I see the loading kernel... message without a clearing of the screen first. Any idea what this is? I re-installed Grub and did grub’s own setup procedure, and all files in /boot/grub are from the time of the last emerge. Happy remaining weekend.

Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot see Grub menu
From Kindle so very short response for now. 1) Was this disk previously used for 32-bit? 2) For 64-bit I've always used grub-static.

Well, I installed the 64 bit into a temporary partition that I created, so I still had the working 32 bit system in case something goes wrong (and to do some performance comparisons). At some point, I reformatted the 32 bit partition and rsynced the 64 bit over. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.

Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot see Grub menu
All of that is the OS, not grub which is in the MBR I think. emerge grub-static and then do the install as per the boot loader instructions in the manual. It will likely work fine then. Good luck.

It will likely work fine then. Good luck. When I did my install, I used grub-static too. I never tried the plain one but was told it could have issues with 64 bit. OP. The config files should be fine as far as using the old ones. Just run the install commands again. You know, grub, root, setup etc. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
