<0> ArcAngel!
<0> I need your help!
<1> hmm
<2> tibyke: Sorry about the away-nick... I forgot to disable one script... :(
<3> hey i'm having kernel problems with my p166mmx. after lilo (or grub - tried both) loads and starts loading kernel computer just reboots. I ***ume it's processor family issue in kernel config. I selected p166mmx but it doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?
<4> There might be something else wrong with the kernel.
<4> And you should run memtest to see if it's faulty ram causing those reboots.
<4> Does livecd boot right?
<4> If it does, it's your kernel or hd that's failing.
<5> or gcc/glibc
<5> ?
<4> If it reboots while it's still loading kernel i don't think it's a problem with gcc/glibc.
<4> Sound like hardware failure to me tbh.
<4> Since if the kernel panics it should halt and tell you it.
<6> now I finally have the time to finish my gentoo install on my new machine
<3> dimple
<3> i compiled kernel with genkernel
<3> and it produced perfectly workink kernel
<3> so it must be a setting in .config that i'm doing wrong
<4> Are you sure the hardware is ok?
<4> Try running the memtest, just for fun.
<4> And what .config are you talking about? Kernel's?
<4> Why are you tinkering with it if you are doing genkernel anyway?
<3> if hardware wouldn't be ok, then genkernel's kernel wouldn't work either
<4> Ok, so you have it working with genkernel?
<3> i used genkernel just to see if it would work and it does... now i want to compile kernel manually
<3> yeah
<4> Well, just make a new one then.
<4> You aren't changing thinks straigh into the .config are you?
<3> make menuconfig
<4> Ok.
<3> i googled a bit and some people said it could be processor family
<4> Don't disable anything stupid and it should run.
<4> Yeah.
<3> i have p166mmx and i selected it
<3> but it just reboots
<3> i also disabled APCI and AMP
<3> no luck
<4> Is there a family specifically for p166mx?
<3> Pentium MMX
<4> Do you mean APIC or ACPI?
<3> i'm not sure... it's the one that delas with power management
<4> Try disabling APIC if it's enabled.
<7> does it show something while booting
<4> Iirc it might have had something to do with system booting.
<4> On some systems.
<4> And APIC is not the power management thingie.
<3> it loads lilo and starts loading kernel but then immidiately reboots (no text visible or anything)
<3> what's Lirc?
<4> It's under the same page as processor setting iirc.
<3> Iirc
<4> If I Recall Correctly.
<4> Another useless acronym (tm).
<3> :D
<3> i'll try disabling it
<3> any other ideas?
<7> yes, graphic/video stuff
<7> the first thing it tries when booting, is framebuffer
<4> Not really.
<4> If framebuffer is disabled.
<3> i don't have framebuffer enabled
<4> Then it boots into vga console.
<4> Which should work.
<7> textmode
<3> i also remember that i disabled agp support (since i don't have any agp slots) and it automatically enabled that Direct Rendering thingie
<3> which i also disabled
<4> Also, try to see that you have all the necessary filesystem drivers build into the kernel, and that the really important stuff isn't as modules.
<4> You don't need direct rendering without agp, so that's cool.
<3> k
<3> btw... do emerged gentoo-sources anyhow differ from those at kernel.org?
<1> sure they do
<7> yes it has gentoo patches
<4> They have the gentoo patchset.
<7> they're all tested
<4> More or less well after all.
<4> Nowadays.
<3> hm
<3> ok
<7> disable some more **** ;)
<4> Or more likely, enable some ****.
<3> hehe
<4> If you want the "default" kernel sources, you can emerge vanilla-sources.
<4> But that shouldn't be necessary.
<7> less code, less things that can go wrong.
<4> But when he disables important stuff as "useless" more things start going wrong.
<3> :)
<4> Just see lspci (or lspci -v) and make sure you have the right drivers for stuff.
<4> And read a couple of helpfiles in the menuconfig.
<4> And you should be good.
<3> will do so
<3> thanks
<4> Np, hope you get it working. :)
<7> my 2.6.17 is now 1343707 bytes
<4> You must be really proud of it.

<9> hello I have troubles with installing coldplug...I did all in the manual, using genkernel and I get: "configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required
<9> !!! ERROR: sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2 failed.
<9> what should I emerge to get it workin' fine?
<9> czesc mam problem z coldplug w gentoo. dostaje error: configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required
<9> !!! ERROR: sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2 failed.
<9> co mam emerge'owac zeby nie miec juz problemow?
<10> topic...
<10> and that 'error' message doesnt say anything...
<9> mujo: I am working with handbook
<9> it says that I doesnt have c++ compiler.... Can I emerge them?
<10> uh
<10> emerge it then :>
<9> what name
<9> or there is a pack of them?
<10> gcc
<10> but you should have this...
<10> wierd...
<9> I did everything from handbook, but I took genkernel
<10> that doesnt matter
<9> couse its a removable hdd and it will work on any pc - I hope
<10> does you compiler work?
<9> well, it did genkernel and other stuff...so it should be workin'
<10> yes
<10> hmm dont know...
<9> now its emerging gcc...we will see :)
<10> yes
<9> anyway thanks for a hint
<10> np
<6> I never used genkernel before
<6> is it a good tool?
<10> hm i never used it, and im not looking forward to use it...
<10> i prefer fully custom compiled kernel
<7> west coast customs
<9> metaller: well it makes some similar to livecd
<9> when you boot os, it searching for hardware..
<9> its a bit slower for You...but You can use it on any PC and any hardware
<9> mujo: I didn't realized that it will take so much time to emerge gcc ;p
<10> go to pub for a beer or ten
<10> :>
<9> 31 min :> done ;]
<9> mujo: is there a way to configure lilo for using different colors in boot time?
<10> dont know...
<10> i didnt use lilo for 4 years? :>
<9> only grub?
<10> yes
<9> well I always get lost in configuring grub when it comes to partitions ;p
<10> its simple
<10> uh
<9> ok
<10> must go
<10> :>
<10> bbl
<9> I have 2 windows part.. sda1 and sda5 and sda6 as root, sda7 as swap and sda8 as boot ;p
<9> oh You little...$@#@!$@$ ;p
<11> Where can I find gentoo installation guide in Finnish?
