I don't know if that is normal behavior or a bug, In between I got a reply from other mailing list saying it is not a bug, it is a feature!. And the reason for this feature is udev - it creates dev-files dynamically and sata port-numbers do not play any role for order in which hard-drives are detected and dev-file created. Maybe some udev-expert here could explain in which order udev writes device-files for hard-disks (maybe serial number, or vendor name?)... Generally it's the order they are found in. udev gives you the ability to dynamically create only the nodes you need without having to worry if you've left something out of MAKEDEV. To do this, the developer had to sacrifice your ability to predict what a device name will be. You actually don't care what the name of a thing in /dev/ is, it really doesn't matter. The kernel knows what they are by looking at the major and minor numbers and the name only exists while that instance of udev is running. To work with the device (eg mounting it), you should use some other characteristic of the device, like it's serial number or volume label. Which means things like /dev/sda3 should not appear in fstab. View it this way: You have a disk volume with a filesystem on it that you called HOME, and you want to mount that filesystem to /home. You should just do that directly. The other way involves a completely useless extra step that the user doe snot even need to know about: You have a filesystem on it called HOME, so you looked it up in some arcane table and found that it has the arbitrary name of /dev/sda3, so you mount /dev/sda3 to /home. Hmm, what's this extra step of looking something up somewhere? It serves no useful purpose, gives no extra information and is completely redundant. If all you are doing is making filesystems available for use, and you find you are getting involved with device names, then you are doing something contrary to current kernel/udev/userspace practice. To add some more alternatives to that list: 1) LVM. Logical volumes always get the same, user defined name, no matter what. 2) User defined udev rules to name your devices whatever you like (Google: writing udev rules). Bye... Dirk

If you were about to upgrade, spare yourselves some headaches. It does not work just fine. On first sight, it does seem to work, but if you look a bit better, it does not. Symptoms of using KDE 4.3 with Qt 4.6: * Logging out of KDE takes half a minute. Maybe, didn't measure the time. * Amarok takes ages to load. Yes. * The text on (Oxygen) push buttons is not centered. It is here. * Fonts and shapes appear somewhat messed up (e.g., the tray clock). Not here. Tray clock sometimes messed up with TQ 4.5, too. * Global shortcuts (like CTRL+ESC to start System Activity) stop working after a few hours of uptime. Works fine here, even after days of uptime. There might be more, but I didn't stay around long enough to find out. I reverted to Qt 4.5. Note that I *did* a full rebuild of all packages that depend on Qt, including all of KDE of course (equery depends is your friend). Bottom line, KDE 4.3 *does* work with Qt 4.6, but it does *not* work just fine (there's a big difference between works and works fine).

For example, examining the PIIX items in the working kernel and inserting here: Still the (IMHO) best way is to boot a LiveCD, run lspci -vv (two times v) and write down which hardware is detected and which driver is used for it. From that you can directly determine what you need to compile into your kernel. Everything else is guesswork. Hint: menuconfig has a search function (/). You can directly search for the driver name you got from lspci and enable the corresponding option. If you're unsure as to what should be compiled into the kernel and what can be a module, always say Y. You can try M in later iterations. As a rule of thumb: everything you need to access your root fs should get a Y. That is Chipset-(S)ATA harddisk-Filesystem.

Those -r versions emerge is talking about. Any chance you have installed
qt packages (or some apps which need them) from an overlay?
('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.5.2-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by

Here it works like this: There's /etc/init.d/xdm-setup, which checks for nox and touches (creates) a flag file /etc/.noxdm. When /etc/.noxdm exists, /etc/init.d/xdm doesn't start the display manager.

No, just use dd. What about grub and the mbr. Will dd copy over all of that information, or do I have to run grub (grub install) manually to ensure the MBR is set properly. If you create an image of your entire device, then no. However, you will loose the ability to mount and modify the image. But you could easily write a small script for writing the MBR. I've never done this, but I'd bet that fdisk (or one of it's many cousins) can be used in scripts to setup the partitions on the fly. So let's assume your CF card USB stick or whatever is has one partition and is detected as /dev/sda. You can then first take an image of the partition: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=firewall.img This image can then be mounted and modified as needed: mkdir /mnt/firewall mount -t ext2 -oloop firewall.img /mnt/firewall [do modifications inside /mnt/firewall] umount /mnt/firewall then write it back to as many other CF cards you need: dd if=firewall.img of=/dev/sdX1 (replace X as appropriate) There should also be a possibility to copy the MBR with dd, something like dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.img count=512 (not sure about the count value, though). and write it back with dd if=mbr.img of=/dev/sda. The only thing left is the automatic partitioning. HTH... Dirk
