You need to recompile it with FEATURES=nostrip and possibly
USE=debug. Don't forget to remove -fomit-frame-pointer from
C{,XX}FLAGS, in case you have it. Depending on where the crash happens,
you may have to recompile not only KDE, but also other packages from
KDE's dependencies.

Yes, netconsole as described in Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt.

 was hda, my cdrom.

Can you please post the kernel output, which you gather using
netconsole, on an http server? I guess your kernel is missing some
option, but I'm not sure which. Did you only check /dev/hd* or also what
dmesg said?

 The thing that's killing me is that the gentoo boot cd is obviously
 able to do it, and I even copied the config from that cd over as per
 the genkernel instructions, still to no avail.

You copied the actually running config from /proc/config.gz?

Depending on that, you've the LMU behind the PMU or on I²C.

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Audio installation

Which model exactly?

 Also, I'd like to use a kernel with the Ingo Molnar realtime
 preemption patch.

I don't know that specific patch, but preemption on PowerPC isn't what
you actually want. It causes programs to crash because of a corrupted
cache. It used to work when one enabled SMP, but I'm not sure wether
this is still the case.

Maybe, maybe not. It's not what I asked for. Read the output of grep
machine /proc/cpuinfo. There you'll find something like PowerBook7,2
(the numbers are the important ones).

I'm asking because on some models the sound is not yet supported. But
there's a driver in development (snd-aoa, [1]).

 Is there a way to run audio apps safely on a PPC processor using
 Linux?

I'm sure there is. You have always the source code at hand and can
modify it to make it better.

 Anyway, what would you suggest I do to get stable audio on a PPC?

Unfortunately, I don't have much expierience with professional audio on
any platform. Sound output works on my G5 and one of my PowerBooks while
another one doesn't have its sound chip supported yet (but will with
snd-aoa). Digital output is said not to work for now, but it's planned
to be included in snd-aoa once they figure it out.

Oh, and please learn how to quote. First and last warning from me.

Hello

 Before updating portage there was an extra line in the output too:

 * Caching service dependencies...   [ok]

 Now its gone. Things seems working ok, but I wonder if this is normal,
 or not...

That's normal. rc automatically caches the dependencies now.

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Kernel panic booting minimal iso on dual G5

2005-05-30 Thread Michael Hanselmann
Hello

 I just picked up a dual G5 (the 2.7 GHz flavor) and I'm interested in
 running gentoo on it as well as OS X. I've been using x86 and
 x86_gentoo for quite some time now (back since 1.2).

 However the ppc64 minimal iso from the mirrors gives a kernel panic
 during bootup on this hardware, with the call stack indicating a
 driver probe of some sort.

I think that the 2.7 GHz machines need a newer kernel. You might want to
look into the ChangeLog of linux-2.6.12-rc5, I know that there are fixes
for exactly those machines in it. You can then build such kernel and
netboot it. If you can't build one, you can ask in #gentoo-ppc64 on
Freenode.

Greets,
Michael
