| crypt0 | root ext3 and swap |
| Fear_cult | im no good with extended partitions but it should have a drive symbol like hda4 hda5 somethin lke that what is root's hda number |
| crypt0 | 3 |
| Fear_cult | and boot? |
| crypt0 | 1 |
| TaZdiNgO | generally, and extended partition table would have it's beginning at /dev/hdx5 |
| Fear_cult | aight mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo |
| SpaT | Fear_cult: its symple you make an ext first with the size of the partitions you want in it added up than you devide the exteded into partitions of size you like s/devide/fill s/into/with |
| crypt0 | so what now |
| Fear_cult | nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab edit it so its right |
| SpaT | Crypt0: do you have the gentoo manual? |
| Fear_cult | not /dev/root but /dev/hda3 not /dev/boot but /dev/hda1 |
| crypt0 | yes spat |
| SpaT | Crypt0: that one has an exelent explanation on partitioning |
| Fear_cult | spat his parts are done |
| SpaT | Crypt0: are you dualbooting with two seperate hd's? |
| Fear_cult | he just needs fstab setup and menu.lst he's not dual booting its just lin |
| SpaT | ow sorry a bit slow here |
| amy_ | * You have USE="qt3 qt4" selected, defaulting to USE="qt4" * >=qt4.2.2 requires qt3support, does that mean i need to rebuild qt with only USE="qt3" for wpa_supplicant? |
| SpaT | Fear_cult: ah you asked if it what dual read that as him saying dual lol |
| andreiberceanu | hi |
| crypt0 | yeah |
| andreiberceanu | how do i pass a kernel parameter using grub? |
| crypt0 | it works |
| Fear_cult | so crypto edit /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab once thats done umount /dev/hda3 then mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo and edit /mnt/gentoo/grub/menu.lst |
| AllenJB | SpaT: Yes, or rebuild qt4 with the qt3support USE flag enabled |
| andreiberceanu | i want to use pci=assign-busses |
| Fear_cult | i needa go to bed though before the woman gets pissy |
| AllenJB | andreiberceanu: Use the edit options to edit the boot menu item. Changes aren't saved permanently. |
| SpaT | andreas_: kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2006.1 root=/dev/hda2 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@60,mtrr:1,ywrap quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 andreiberceanu: that was for you andreiberceanu: after the kernel path /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 its all arguments andreiberceanu: sorry for my crappy english there |
