Hi,
I have a Gentoo install on my Macbook Pro ,which kernel I don't
upgrade often, to say the least, because I use it for work and I don't
have much time to tinker with all of it as I had once...
So it has settled with the first kernel which made things working,
which was late 2007 2.6.24-rc6

Hi,
I just bought a novel, 1.5 Tb USB external HD.
The kernel recognizes it nice and well, and I can mount and unmount it
as root, lookin' its content etc. without problems.
But KDE refuses to "see" it as a new media. It does not even appear in
the "media:/". The odd thing is that it is the first

Hi,
Since when I live in UK, I have troubles with my SMTP servers. It
seems that everyone has the "nice" habit of changing my header/sender.
At least:

- The Gmail one does the same.

Hi,
I have an x86 gentoo system, and I would like to install qtiplot.
Unfortunately:

and when compilng qtiplot seems to pick invariably the qwt-5. How do I
force qtiplot to build with qwt-4 ?

You mean there's still devfs in 2.6.14, but it is "hidden"?

Last time I had these locks up it was a dying power suppy fault.
Dying RAM or mobos are another common cause.
Check your memory with memtest86 overnight, as already suggested. If
memtest86 gives no errors, it's probably the power supply. If it's the
mobo or the RAM, memtest should detect it.

You can also poll the ip by doing an ifconfig and parsing its output
inside your application. I think the overhead on the system would be
barely recognizable if you do a reasonable (no more than every 5
seconds, let's say) poll.
