[gentoo-ppc-user] Install on a Power5 (p5 550)

2006-11-09 Thread Rodrigo Monteiro
Hello all! I'm new to this world: PowerPC, RISC, 64 bits. So, it's a newbie doubt... I'm following this manual http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2006.0/handbook-ppc64.xml?full=1#book_part1 My question it's about the yaboot and the partitions type. /dev/sda1: PReP (8MB) /dev/sda2: swap (1GB)

[gentoo-user] Semi OT: hotplug / coldplug / udev ...

2006-11-09 Thread Arnau Bria
Hi, this is a general question about GNU/Linux. I have some doubts about the way hotplug / coldplug / udev work. I mean, some distros do not use hotplug (I'm not sure if it's basic in gentoo) and are able to plug a (i.e) pendrive and kernel detects it, udev creates its device, someone mounts
