 Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 4:40 pm Post subject: A whole mess of problems [Solved] |
 |
|
I tried updating my system last night and ran into a whole mess of issues. Based on what I can find in emerge.log, here's what I tried to do emerge -ua world on.
| Code: |
pax-utils-0.1.6
bash-3.0-r14
portage-2.1_pre3-r1
|
*restart portage*
| Code: |
man-pages-2.20
gentoo-sources-2.6.15
gcc-config-1.3.13-r1
gnuconfig-20051223
gcc-3.4.5
|
*CRASH*. I got greedy launching some KDE apps and crashed KDE entirely. The whole machine froze up and I had to reset. I rebooted and found that KDE won't fire up anymore. It hangs on "Initializing System Services". I dropped down to the command line and figured I'd finish the emerge and the problem may fix itself.
emerge --resume
| Code: |
portage-2.1_pre3-r1
portage-manpages-1.2
|
Successfully terminated for some reason. I don't know what I did. Maybe this was the system crash instead? Anyway, emerge --resume
| Code: |
portage-manpages-1.2
man-pages-2.20
gentoo-sources-2.6.15
gcc-config-1.3.13-r1
gnuconfig-20051223 |
*Nothing unmerged up to this point by the way. Which makes sense since this all installed properly anyway*
| Code: |
gcc-3.4.5
timezone-data-2005r
glibc-2.3.6-r2
wireless-tools-28_pre13
ieee80211-1.1.8
|
And I can't pass this point. I keep getting the error message:
| Code: |
!!! ERROR: net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.8 failed.
!!! Function linux-mod_src_compile, Line 505, Exitcode 2
!!! Unable to make KSRC=/usr/src/linux KSRC_OUTPUT=/usr/src/linux all.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message
|
I know the error there is related to my kernel version. When I repoint /usr/src/linux to my older 2.6.14 kernel sources it installs fine.
I figured I'd use my machine as usual and do emerge sync/emerge -u world sometime in the future if the problem resolves itself, or I have more time to test stuff. Unfortunately, KDE still hangs on that initializing system services so I can't do anything!
Here's what I really need to get done:
1. Get KDE back up and running as expected with my old kernel first, and
2. Get everything installed/updated with kernel version 2.6.15 (I intend to recompile and do a different config. I've used my .config from 2.6.14 for now but intend to tweak that later. I want a working system first)
A side question, does the most recent kernel version come with ieee80211 and ipw2200 with it (making installing third-party modules useless)? It seems like everytime I try to install ieee80211 and ipw2200, files are getting deleted from the kernel sources first.
I'll gladly post any information you think might be useful. Thank you for your input.

seems like there's been only a small number of views.
I'm sure there's a good solution out there.
*Bump* |

Of course. How silly of me.

Okay, here it is:

And so on...
The autoconf.h complaint makes sense since since when I tried to install ieee80211 the first time, it complained about being unable to find the file when it asked me to run remove-old.
That leads me into my side question. Is ieee80211 and ipw2200 already apart of the kernel, making a third party app like this unrequired? |

K, how should I get it back? Copy it over from a previous kernel version. Re-emerge 2.6.15? |

That didn't help. It seems like ieee80211 is asking for autoconf.h when it is no longer part of the kernel sources. And so I come back to the question, is ieee80211 required or is it already part of the kernel? |

Hi ecatmur,
Thanks for your help. I have all problems solved now. For future reference, here's what I did:
Indeed, autoconf.h is formed when the kernel is configured and compiled. I noticed that ipw2200 and ieee80211 is provided by kernel version 2.6.15 so I wasn't sure if I needed the seperate ebuilds. I decided to be bold and unmerged those two from my system and made sure they were configured for my kernel. The kernel compiled and I was able to boot up fine with it (including the inherent ieee80211 and ipw2200 stuff). So that completely circumvents the ieee80211 installation complaints. I finished the rest of the update and did etc-update. I rebooted and KDE was booting up and running as normal again as well (I guess I did just need to finish the job and the problem fixed itself). |
