| waittom | can anyone help.... |
| Monkeh | purpoze: Because there are x86_64 binaries (software) and x86_64 CPUs (hardware).. |
| hydrogen | waittom: see the gcc upgrading guide in the topic |
| purpoze | x86_64 binaries can run on Intel 64-bit Xeon yes? |
| RobbieAB | purpoze: the kernel devs decided to go for the PC, technically correct, x86_64 for the 64bit mode x86 chips. |
| Monkeh | purpoze: Yes, because that's an x86_64 processor. |
| waittom | did and still have problem... |
| hydrogen | they cannot run on itaniums |
| waittom | hydrogen: did and still have problem... |
| Monkeh | purpoze: You will however require an x86_64 kernel, and supporting libraries. |
| purpoze | ok sounds like a plan |
| SnowRaptor | brycec: but net.wlan0 is started right after eth0 |
| purpoze | does the linux kernel have documentation for this? |
| hydrogen | maybe |
| purpoze | along with Wikipedia for the hardware facets |
| hydrogen | look ... |
| Monkeh | purpoze: For what? |
| RobbieAB | purpoze: which will require reinstalling... |
| loki` | when i insert my flash drive w/ kde it cant open the drive cuz it doesnt have support for the fs...what do i need to install? |
| hydrogen | that depends on what fs the drive has |
| Monkeh | RobbieAB: Well, unless you want to do it the fun way.. ;) |
| brycec | SnowRaptor, Either there's an init script depending on net.eth0 (brokenly) so file a bug, or check your /etc/conf.d/rc for strict net checking |
| RobbieAB | Monkeh: ignoring technically viable but stupid alternatives shall we say... :) |
| brycec | SnowRaptor, The workaround would be to setup eth0 with a static IP, then it wouldn't take time and fail. |
| SnowRaptor | brycec: thanks, I'll do that as soon I get to my laptop :) brycec: nice idea, I'll assign an address |
| Monkeh | RobbieAB: With a great deal of effort, you could build the toolchain and kernel, and painfully convert a 32-bit system to a 64-bit system. I'll give any attempt a one in ten chance of success (without a known working guide to follow) And here we go slipping off the topic again |
| zlost1 | when in firefix viewing naked girlies, the video buffer doesnt scroll smoothly. is this caused by driver issue? im using frambuffer device. when i set the config to ati x fails saying it cant find the ati driver |
| RobbieAB | Monkeh: I would have thought it easier than that, just painfully long and tedious... Monkeh: given how long a CHOST change takes. |
| Monkeh | RobbieAB: If you don't know the right order to compile things in, and considering profile migration and a lot of hacky fixes.. |
| hydrogen | heh if you wanted the way to do it with the least downtime |
| brycec | zlost1, it's because the video buffer wants to keep looking even though you're finished with that image. Does it happen in other apps or other sites/pages? |
| hydrogen | crosscompile locally a x86_64 set of binpkgs |
| Brian|lfs | Spat |
| ejb_ | anyone use the rt2x00 wireless driver? |
| hydrogen | put them on an extra partition |
