Thanks for that. I got it all the way to the part of install where it fires up....then it just decides to keel over...

=D

Did you search the documentation on http://www.sybase.com/linuxpromo?

In typical Sybase fashion they'll spew the same old line about x, y and z are supported. Don't waste your time there.

I have exactly the same issue. At the end of the install, when the dataserver is getting fired up the first time, It gets to a point and it just seg faults...T.T

I thought it might have been a library issue. I've emerged lib-compat didn't help.

Did anyone get past this issue?

dataserver: master ...

Thanks for that. =D

Hi All

I've set up a local rsync mirror for the rest of my LAN. The problems lies in that the 'emerge --sync' when performed from another LAN machine doesn't pull the 'distfiles' and 'packages' directory under /usr/portage.

Here is my rsyncd.conf

# This line is required by the /etc/init.d/rsyncd ...

Any complaints from the kernel?

Thanks dude =D

Hey There

Have you had a look at gentoo hardened.

Hi There

First questions

Is there a way to pick-up an emerge half-way through? I figure using this list I can figure out how far through the process got and emerge what's necessary separately, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel due to lack of knowledge

If you mean 1/2 way through compiling ...

Hi There

Are you running ccache?

Also try removing gedit from /var/tmp/portage

Cheers

Hey Guys

I need to have a kernel without modules, I was just wonder how do I pass the parameters to the bonding module if its built into the kernel?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Maybe I Just pass kernel parameters from gurb, how can I do that?

Can you post the full error please?

One thing you could look at maybe is nfs mount the portage tree, then they'll all share the same tree.

Maybe you could rsync across the tree...

I've never tried doing an emerge sync with no portage tree in place.

I have tried tar-balling an existing portage tree....yuk way too many files T.T

I ...

Yea

usually the process involves putting a basic system onto your computer from the CD. Then you 'emerge' the rest which is essentially pulled from the internet. 'Emerge' does all the compiling for you.

Enjoy

Hey There

Have you had a look at this link? It would answer a lot of your questions.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... xml?full=1

Gentoo usually relies on a internet connection but you can get a cd with packages on it =D

I assume your hp's ip hasn't changed?

Also do you have any access restrictions setup? Can your gentoo laptop ssh into your samba server? (assuming ssh is open)

One last thing

does log.nmbd & log.smbd output any errors when you try to connect?

Hey There

mod_cache is a built in module

in your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

uncomment the following line

Just wondering is there many routers sharing the same channel? Does changing the channel help?

Does you samba logs actually log access attempts from your gentoo laptop?

Just out of interest was there any config files which needed updating with `etc-update`

Also if you re-emerge the old version of mysql does it bring back the init-scripts?

Sounds like a permission's issue, does it give you any errors during the install update process. Maybe you could run unstable azureus instead =D

I would recommend using the traditional install method instead of the GUI or command line, that way we could step you through any questions you have.

=D

humm weird I wonder what happened there...

How do you know those are you partitions for /dev/hda when fdisk can't open it?

I assume you are followin the following guide?

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... xml?full=1

Can you tell me which step it fails at?
