RE: Starting with Slackware 10.1
The Slackware distribution has moved onto version 10.2 (Beta). Why don't you just wait a short while till the final version of 10.2 is released? That way, you'll have the latest packages and security updates! Before you can type 'setup' for the Slackware installation, you need to partition your drive/s. It's one of the very few distributions of Linux that doesn't have a partition manager during the installation process. So when you boot the CD (with the kernel that supports your RAID card) and logged in as root, type: cfdisk /dev/ataraid/d0 Create your partitions for your Slackware installation (/ /usr /tmp /var /home /swap). However, at the same time, create a partition for LFS. Slackware and LFS can share the same Swap drive, so you only need to create one of those. During the Slackware installation, you'll be asked to mount various drives. For the LFS partition, just set the mount point to '/mnt/lfs' for the LFS drive which you created using 'cfdisk'. I don't think Slackware detects NTFS drives so you won't be able to mount those. FAT32 works fine though. I hope that helps, and good luck! P.S. When you install Slackware, just select the default packages that are selected for you. And then select 'Full Install'. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jedediah Klusman Sent: 04 August 2005 07:48 To: lfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org Subject: Starting with Slackware 10.1 Im new to the LFS community, and i have only found one distrobution that supports my raid card.

Jedediah Klusman wrote: /dev/ataraid/d0 Impossible with LFS, because LFS uses the 2.6 series of kernels, and 2.6 kernels don't support ataraid. If you really want to use ataraid card with 2.6 kernel as a dm raid (i.e. sort of software raid), please investigate this package: http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/ However, it is tricky to set up udev so that it doesn't conflict and/or race with dmraid (I never managed to do that properly).

I had something similar a few months back on ppc, caused by one of the plugins, but I can't find any notes. I tracked it down by building gdb, starting XMMS from within gdb, then doing a backtrace (bt) after it crashed. The trace showed it was in some sort of startup code and calling one of the plugins. I removed the plugin (all I remember was that it was for something that I didn't think was very important) and it worked fine. Is aRts output plugin installed? -- Alexander E.

Gettext tests, maybe libtool (pure64)
When all else fails, ask for help!
I've got one remaining problem with my pure64 builds on x86_64 - the
gettext testsuite fails 6 out of 46 times in the rpath test and doesn't
go on to run the translation tests. Looking into this, gettext-0.14.1
works (all 228 tests passed), everything newer has the same errors.
The autoconf-link-lib/tests/rpath.README file shows that any test made
up of three libraries in the form shared-static-either (that is either
type of library depends on a static library which depends on a shared
library) fails. These tests are supposed to detect a broken libtool
(and maybe they do, but everything else in LFS tested ok, and BLFS seems
to work). On each failure, ld reports it can't find -lrpathz (which is
one of the test libraries).
0.14.2 had a version upgrade for libtool and the autotools, plus a
vulnerability fix, but the diff is about 12 MB. The actual rpath
testsuite doesn't seem to have changed, although the invocation looks a
lot more complex (and I tried reverting the
autoconf-lib-link/m4/Makefile.{am,in} changes, but that had no effect).
I've totally out of my depth with the autotools, I don't even know
where to look to try to track this down. A trawl for patches for
gettext, automake, autoconf, libtool found nothing that looked relevant.
Gentoo have a patch for m4 to only store pointers in variables that are
big enough, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions, please ? (other than Time for bed!)
Ken
