elprespufferfish | jhulst_, maybe this will help: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3 |
asdf | fixed, just rolled back to 1.2 |
grknight | omg.. ati fixed the console freezes in .36.5 |
daimos | ati works at all? |
action | daimos is surprised |
daimos | is surprised |
lilltiger | Is the cpio in portage patched to be able to generate an initramfs? |
jhulst_ | elprespufferfish: So downgrade the kernel, any suggestion as to what? |
elprespufferfish | jhulst_, i think it'd be easier to install a keyworded ati-drivers |
Draconx | lilltiger, there is no patch necessary |
grknight | jhulst_, unfortunately... ati-drivers 8.36.5 is requried for a 2.6.20 kernel and hasn't hit portage yet |
ovakill2ovadrive | I want to do a fresh Gentoo install, but I want to save settings like make.conf and kernel .config...what else should I save besides personal user settings that will save me time during just the Gentoo installation? |
elprespufferfish | greboide, jhulst_ 8.36.5 and the 35.x version are patched for 2.6.20 grknight, rather |
sitrucious | Anyone else install the Gentoo on HP TC4400 Core 2? |
lilltiger | Draconx: strange, Im making an install cd based on Arch. When I was in gentoo I could just extract the image, then rebuilt it with cpio. But now that I am in arch it wont work, kernel panic cant find /init |
grknight | elprespufferfish, oops.. missed that in ChangeLog |
Triffid_Hunter | ovakill2ovadrive: /etc/conf.d, /var/lib/portage/world, maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf and friends too |
ovakill2ovadrive | Thanks Triffid_Hunter |
Triffid_Hunter | ovakill2ovadrive: oh, /usr/portage/ as well |
ovakill2ovadrive | Right right |
wuzzerd | ovakill2ovadrive: if your kernel is good save it and modules |
elprespufferfish | Triffid_Hunter, why would you bother to back up /usr/portage for a new install? |
Draconx | lilltiger, I've always used kbuilds built-in initramfs generation, works great. |
Triffid_Hunter | elprespufferfish: distfiles mainly, although it saves an enormous sync too |
Tanktalus | has anyone tried running a windows jvm under wine? :-) |
Draconx | lilltiger, afaik, you need to provide some flag to cpio which I don't remember, kbuild does this for you, thus you don't need to remember it, either. |
lilltiger | Draconx: -H newc for the format |
Draconx | lilltiger, even cooler, the kbuild system doesn't need you to be root to create useful iniramfses. |
lilltiger | Draconx: but to get access to kbuild you need to build the kernel aswell? |
Draconx | lilltiger, there might be a target to just build the initramfs |
lilltiger | as i have only the image of the kernel from the cd.. and all i want to do is to edit some files within the initramfs.. |
Draconx | lilltiger, I do know that initramfses are gzipped, did you do that? |
lilltiger | Draconx: but wont modify the initramfs after the kernel modules? Draconx: yes, i get it to boot and succseed with the is initramfs test. it when it should execute /init it fails |
ovakill2ovadrive | How do I display "top" so that it sorts by memory usage? |
lilltiger | Draconx: thought in my initrd its init and not /init as in the org initramfs.. but it works anyway with the images i built in gentoo |
wuzzerd | ovakill2ovadrive: emerge htop it has a nice interface |
ovakill2ovadrive | htop hm |
Triffid_Hunter | ovakill2ovadrive: press O (for order) |
Draconx | lilltiger, initrd : /linuxrc. initramfs: /init |
