Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
Exactly - have you have been around gentoo long enough to remember the elegantly simple -u and -U mechanism we used to have to control upgrade/downgrade. Instead we have a bunch of files that were initially poorly documented (when this was released), and in practise for me at least, are a backward step in application and use. Maybe its harking back to simpler days, but this is a change that broke a system for me, caused a lot of wasted time, and seems a needless complication to a simple system.

RE: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
Thanks, but I've already added those to my package.mask, but the 1.0-6111 nVidia kernel module refuses to compile on 2.6.11 and most its the release candidates for me. When I was using nvidia I downloaded the 6111 release from nvidia.com and had to modify some of the code to get it to compile for 2.6.10. Below is a note that I made for myself of the changes that I made, they'll probably work for you also: winux nvidia # cat nvidia.changes 12/30/2004 - dnebing - I modified the usr/src/nv/nv.c to do the following: 1. Replace pci_find_class() with pci_get_class(). The arguments are the same, but pci_find_class was removed and replaced with pci_get_class(). Replacement builds successfully with this change. 2. Declare __VMALLOC_RESERVE. Don't know what value it should have, but a value must be defined for it to work. I used unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 20;. After making these changes, the regular installer will work successfully. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
Well this is the first time that nvidia-kernel can't compile with vanilla kernel downloaded from kernel.org. There must be something that can be done ? New version of nvidia-kernel maybe ?

Yes Using ~x86 packages of nvidia made possible to compile it with vanilla 2.6.11. So fix is ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx Good luck On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 18:12:40 +0100, Etaoin Shrdlu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wednesday 02 March 2005 17:55, Bastian Balthazar Bux wrote: yes, yesterday, with 2.6.11-rc5, that is quite the same as 2.6.11.

There are a lot of patches out in the wild to make certain driver versions work with various kernels. Have you already tried the latest version?

I think you might be right in saying that nvidia's own driver release doesn't compile against 2.6.11 (yet). But in portage, we patch nvidia's driver (nvidia-kernel) with fixes for this. Using the latest testing version of nvidia-kernel should be fine. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] linux-2.6.11 is out
This will probably stir up some flames, but: the package.keywords system sucks 1. you put things in there and you forget about them 2. extra work for no user gain over the old system (I know the old system is broke, but from what I agther it was broken on purpose to create the package.keyword system.) 3. more complex than the simple system it replaced - it is now quite hard to work out the interactions sometimes 4. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS seems to work well for a half doz or so ~x86 packages I will probably have to use them next time I rebuild world with a -e, but after stuffing things up over a couple of months with the package.keywords and related files, wasting time trying find whats gone wrong, I am better off doing the ACCEPT keywords kludge and getting on with actually using the system. At least when you do an update, you SEE what is ~x86, not have it hidden away in the depths building up problems. Maybe a bad gentooer, but at least I am happy that I am doing things in a way that I understand, and works the way I want it to!
