Hi group,
Trying to set up vmware, unfortunately the PC dies

between a couple of seconds to about 5 mins afterwards
without any warning the PC simply shuts itself off.

Hi group,
By way of addendum to my earlier post on udev rules
and my CD and DVD drives, /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.
At first the drives were'nt found then modprobeing
ide-generic.ko fixed that. But the links under /dev to
the drives were being mysteriously incremented. So
ide-generic was compiled with

Hi group,
After upgrading from 2.6.16 to 2.6.20 kernel I no
longer can access CD or DVD.
Here's the rules.d file:
localhost heathen # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70*cd.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the
/lib/udev/write_cd_rules
# program, probably run by the

It was a driver. In the 2.6.16 config under
#
#SCSI low-level drivers
#
I had this: CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y
But for the 2.6.20 this option has been moved to

#Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental

I'm aware of that. But another PC with the 2.6.19
kernel and an IDE drive panicked until I set
CONFIG_UNIX=y. Didn't help in this case.

Hi group,
The new kernel panics at a typical place:
<...>
VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,7)
then just below this appears:
<6> Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.
The root fs is reiserfs and *is* part of the kernel.
Yes, CONFIG_UNIX=y

On my way from updating from 2.6.16 to 2.6.20 kernels

Hi group,
According to
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20050822-newsletter.xml
setting RC_BOOTLOG="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc and
emerging the showconsole pkg will generate
/var/log/boot.msg where boot messages will be written.
But boot.msg is never more than 44 lines, a fraction
of total output.

It did. I know about adding quotes to a phrase but to
a single string? New one on me.
But Bo is right, my portage is out-of-date. emerge

I can't find it. Not in google either. Spelling?

Hi group,
New gentoo won't let me symlink device like so:
#ln -s /dev/parport0 /dev/lp0
Google says create file
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
containing the line
KERNEL=="parport0" NAME="lp0"
Which creates the device no problem. However
/dev/parport0 is no more and

No bootup errors. The error was a result of a missing

did not solve the blanking problem.

This is a puzzler. Can't get no relief. Can't be
