I am using the latest baselayout 2 and was going by its instructions (which dont work) and didn't think to use the old way. Now I have a video0, but no /dev/dvb so thats the next hurdle to be tackled tomorrow. Thanks, BillK

[gentoo-user] Crash dumps
With some recent software updates (well, a month's worth...didn't realize I wasn't syncing on my laptop), X now frequently dies on me. As it happens, I've already rebuilt all the software on the system...I do an emerge -e @world every time there's a gcc update. To my knowledge, there's no old cruft, no old binaries, nothing for depclean to remove or revdep-rebuild to fix, etc. etc. The next step is to actually inspect the crashes and see what's happening...but for this to be even remotely convenient, I'd like my system to start accumulating crash dumps for my inspection. Fortunately, I have -ggdb in CFLAGS for just such occasions, so I'm not wanting for symbols... Trouble is...I don't remember how to do this. How do I enable crash dumps, and how do I control where the dump files are dropped? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Missing firmware? You could be right ... but google makes no mention of firmware being required. I'll look into it tonight. The usb stick I have firmware for loads it and then dies (a usbip problem I think, resets after load) BillK
