Hello All.

SCOPE OF THE IDEA
Suggestion of a configuration creation utility that identifies/downloads all distfiles necessary to install a system w/o having to use Linux. The utility would:
-be a 3rd party executible available for any number of architectures/operating systems, or ideally a web ...

Does anyone know what wireless NIC cards (PCI-interface) are supported by 2005.1-r1 LiveCD? I currently use a Netgear WG311T and it requires madwifi drivers which I know weren't included in the 2005.1 cd. I'm not sure about the r1 version though.

I'd like to basically be able to buy a new card from ...

Yes!
I have a Plextor PX-716SA and it's been working flawlessly now for 2 months. I've burned countless CDs and DVDs with it.
Currently running 2.6.13-gentoo-r2 with no problems, I use this patch to make things quick and easy when updating:

diff -urN linux-2.6.12/include/linux/libata.h linux-2.6 ...

Damn--I want this! However, does anyone know if SATA/SATA-II for DVD readers/writers is built in through enabling such in libata.h? It would be a waste for me and others to download the iso, burn the image and find that we can't boot the kernel and use it.

having trouble installing this game--
I have the DVD edition, it copies all of the content off of the cds but then gives me the error sequence:

!!! ERROR: fps-games/ut2004-data-3186 failed.
!!! Function games_ut_unpack, Line 211, Exitcode 4
!!! uncompressing file CTF-Grassyknoll.ut2.uz2


Anyone ...

tried it your way-- this is what I get after compiling the kernel with only sound support (but no inkernel alsa or oss support)

theMan linux # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...
WARNING: Error inserting snd_mixer ...

did you enable oss support? the alsa guide referenced above told me to disable it.

thx robbyjo for the reply:

I did as you said, recompiled the kernel, re-emerged what was needed and rebooted the new kernel.

when re/starting the alsasound init script I get

/etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-seq-oss ...

hello:

I'm trying to get Alsa to work with my Asus A8n-SLI deluxe mobo.

I've gone with the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml documentation--the path that compiles support into the kernel and when it runs modules-update, I get errors. after stopping and then starting alsa-sound, I get the ...

I wanted to know because i wanted to play an all time favorite.. Secret of Mana. Thank you, and it run's great! Speaking of.. what the Playstation 1 version of Secret Of Mana.. anyone know?

Get Chrono Trigger. SoM is awesome but ChronoTrigger f'n rox--then again how many SquareSoft RPG's don't ...

I currently am at work and no longer have access to my comp remotely as SSHD is down (looking in the 2.6.13(r1) dir).

So if the makefile contains version information (which would seem to indicate you are right) -- then simply compiling a new kernel 2.6.12(r10) kernel should result with a new ...

esperto: I tried modules-update to no avail (although did not try rebooting afterwords)

dgaffuri: I would otherwise agree with you except this, I deleted my /root and /usr partitions after using the 2.6.13(r1)--this I imagine would knock out those sources. Before using 2.6.13(r1), grub was pointing ...

upon rebooting, it seems that all the modules that previously worked no longer boot.
I was using the 2.6.13-gentoo-r1 kernel by mistake, and dropped back to the more reliable 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 version (this fixed the vfat problem)

now when I try to run /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start (my internet init ...

ack!

you're right! when I copied bzImage, I appearantly autocompleted too quickly. thanks!

odd--for some reason I am unable to mount my 100GB portable HD (the HD with the mp3s, movies, etc on it) -- it is a vfat partition (fat32).
My kernel (kernel-2.6.12-r10-gentoo) has vfat support and mosdos fs support--but when I actually try to mount the drive, I get the error:

emerge dhcpcd

do NOT emerge openssh -- I had my thing working perfectly until I emerged openssh

tried this last night--and nope.

Ack--and I realize this should probably be under networking... my bad.

Hi:

A about a week or so ago I finally got my wireless internet up and running. I emerged dhcpcd and made the appropriate changes in the /etc/conf.d/net file (or /etc/init.d/net -- wherever it resides)

Things were working smoothly up until last night.
I booted up Gentoo and all my wireless lan ...

Are you trying to run 2 copies of WoW? True Powerleveling?

Man, if so--that be business!

SAnglei--

Buddy, I have the same setup you do. Did you get this working with X? I'm currently using afterstep--would love to get sound working in here--sound working PERIOD would be nice actually.

Also, what kernel are you using? I'm currently running into a lot of trouble with kernel-2.6.13 ...

As I ended up buying an additional Sony 52x32x52 CDR/W on the EIDE bus, I can't call this solved, persay--since the optical SATA interface issue hasn't been "solved". I'll call this bypassed.

Using the same motherboard and the built in sound, I'm also having a problem with Alsa.

What's more, I can't even get alsaconf to detect my card.

running XMMS inside of afterstep, I've got the following (applicable):
Input Plugins:
MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player 1.2.10 [libmpg123.so]
...others

Output ...

okay--I tried this but my terminals still seem to be the same size. I tried using one of the consolefonts (to make the text smaller--more like the 2005.1 live cd size) but they don't seem to work.


for example:

in /etc/X11/consolefont

CONSOLEFONT="ISO-08x08" does not work

My ultimate goal for ...
