<0> |neon|: thats an old TS server i snagged from one of my clients
<0> running server 2000
<1> ah
<0> haven't done much with it excpet cleanit up
<1> I have a proliant dl360
<0> specs? . im too lazy to look
<1> and a friend came over today to help me get gentoo on it
<0> not shabby
<2> neon which guide did you use?
<1> no matter what we did, on boot we get segfault erro and says it cant read the drive correctly
<1> I didnt use a guide
<1> lol
<2> using a knoppix cd?
<1> said it was a bad root= option
<1> gentoo live
<1> 6.1
<3> thats a kernel panic, not segfault
<1> 2006.1*
<3> big diff
<1> erm, thats what I meant
<3> and you are too noob and probably didnt get the proper scsi driver enabled
<1> we tried and it still didnt work
<1> so we compiled hte kernel with every scsi driver
<3> i know you tried
<1> how many scsi drivers arent in the kernel?
<3> i said proper driver, not every driver =)
<3> installing every driver is not the solution
<1> heh, why not?
<2> because its wrong
<3> it picked up the drive from the livecd for the install, right?
<1> yes
<3> then just lsmod and see which one it used
<3> then enable that in your own kernel
<3> any of you jews good at ati-drivers? ive never had to mess w/ them until now and i have a major issue
<1> hmm, the friend that was helping me had the same issue on other drives that were IDE
<1> so its not the scsi drivers
<2> iamben: have the FB **** turned off ... and the AGP and DRI stuff turned on in the kernel?
<3> MrEcho: i can use vesafb-tng safely cant i? i dont have radeonfb or anything
<3> and i thought i wanted DRM off in the kernel?
<3> |neon|: im not saying its specifically a scsi issue, people make the same mistake w/ ide drivers too
<2> iamben: just in case turn off FB for now untill you get the drivers to work
<1> yea, well =/
<3> |neon|: it did say something about "unknown block" right?
<1> yes
<2> iamben: ya you need the DRI turned on
<3> MrEcho: looks like ive got some rebuilding to do
<1> (0, 73) or something like that?
<3> 73? what is your root=?
<1> /dev/ida/c0d0p3
<3> MrEcho: you're talking about direct rendering manager in the kernel right? or are you talking about dri in xorg.conf
<1> im not sure what the exact number was
<2> err ya sorry drm
<3> |neon|: which driver, cpqarray or that other one?
<1> that other one?
<3> hah i forget
<1> I'm not sure what driver it does use
<3> my proliant used cpqarray, some use cciss or something like that
<3> lemme look it up
<1> I have fc3 running on it
<1> can I do lsmod?
<3> yeah
<1> its using cpqarray
<3> the cpqarray driver is not under scsi
<3> it is under block devices
<3> Compaq SMART2 support
<4> SWEET!
<4> http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/Adaptec_SCSI_Card_29320A_R/2253500R/L39875/froogle/
<1> not sure if its smart3
<1> 2*
<4> check that out
<3> |neon|: well if its cpqarray on fc3, that is the driver to enable
<1> thank you so muhc
<0> no onboard mem
<4> it's still a nice deal
<3> yeah the other one was cciss, its for smart array 5xxx
<3> my proliant was WAY too old for that
<1> yea, mines pretty old
<1> its got 2 p3's
<1> =/
<3> ive got a 5500 in the basement, quad ppro 200
<1> nice
<0> yeah, ive got a dual p3 1000 (coppermine) via linux server
<3> i think i might throw it away, last time i tried it, it was a little flaky, random reboots
<3> and i dont have the space for this crap anymore
<0> 01:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01)
<0> 01:04.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01)
<0> onboard, not bad
<3> my hp server has dual onboard 7880, its crappy but was nice when it was new
<5> http://www.sweeptheleg.com/ <--greatest music video ever
<3> fb disabled, still got wierdness w/ the ati drivers
<2> agp and drm turned on
<3> well, both are modules... agpgart autoloads when i modprobe fglrx, it doesnt even want drm
<3> but when i manually modprobe drm im getting wierd errors
<2> ugg module likers
<3> im just using modules until i get this figured out
<3> when i know exactly what i need ill build it in
<0> yay, lost my array config again :)
<3> MrEcho: http://img92.imageshack.us/my.php?image=****sm5.png
<2> iamben: nice!
<3> that transparency in the window decs is NOT intentional, this is twm
<3> but thats what i see
<3> i can do stuff in the term, as soon as i open ff it locks up everything but the mouse pointer
<0> iamben: bad h &v ?
<0> usually what causes that
<0> or bad vid itself
<2> well I know you must have agp(along with the right agp driver) and drm enabled
<2> ya and a bad h and v setting in xorg.conf could cause that
<3> im using edid autodetect, and it looks fine w/ the vesa driver
<3> i have agpgart enabled, but the card is pcie so i dont have a specific agp driver w/ it
<0> hmm
<2> sorry im not much help... havnt used a ATI card in 2 years
<0> http://gentoo-wiki.com/Ati
<0> im beginning to think its one of these scsi drives thats actually bad
<4> hrmm, what would be the best way to put gentoo on a i586?
<0> d/l knoppix, do install
<0> no different then a 386, 486, or 686
<3> blaise: what cpu?
<4> but the minimal livecd isn't for i586 tho
<4> it's a k6-2
<0> thats a 386
<4> no it's not
<4> amd k6-2/500MHz
<0> yeah, its a 386, but chost says 586
<2> i sure as **** wouldnt put gentoo on that old of a system
<0> http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#K6-2_.28AMD.29
<4> well what should I put on it?
<0> windows 98
<2> like DSL or some other small distro
<3> i'd put gentoo on it
<3> and use it as a server or fw
<2> wait a week to build gcc/glibc ...
<3> a few hours at most
<4> CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
<3> and wtf are you doing building gcc & glibc? those come w/ stage3 =)
<4> I had gentoo on it but something went terribly wrong..
<2> ok glibc takes an hour to build on my box ... an old k6-2 .. umm ya
<2> iamben: one of the 2 have an update after --sync
<4> but I fixed it..
<4> the harddrive crashed
<4> I popped a new one in it
<6> ok
<2> but I guess you dont have to update anything .. only security stuff
<6> i got a new toy...
<2> :P
<6> time to setup a raid.
<3> MrEcho: OR you start the updates and go to bed, who cares how long it takes?
<4> I got suse 8.1 ..
<3> and after that *initial* upgrade, its not like you have to do daily -uD world
<4> I could put a minimal install of that in there and then install suse
<4> ACK
<4> I mean gentoo
