3 things about grub, gpm and MAKEDEV

[morelli]

Dear all,

I had install gentoo 1.1a on a AMD Duron 1.0GHz PC, without big problems.
This machine is incredible faster.

I have 3 questions:
1) I had follow the instruction of the installation guide about grub. After the reboot I tried to add a password to menu.lst without result because there isn't md5crypt program.
If I run /sbin/grub-md5-crypt I haven't results because md5crypt program is missing.
Where is this program?

2) I had install gpm, but the system is unable to restart the daemon because the system stops
the daemon but is unable to starts again because the system sed that a gpm PID is already
active. But if I run ps -ef there isn't gpm daemon active.
Any suggestion? Is there a location where the system stores the daemon's pid?

3) I had follow the instruction for sound installation, but when I try to execute
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV audio, the system sed me:
mv ....... Operation not permitted

Thanks

Hi,
to question 2: You have to delete "/var/run/gpm.pid" and "/mnt/.init.d/started/gpm" (the second was hard to find for me ).

And to q. 3: Gentoo is using devfs, so the sounddevice should appear automatically if a soundmodule was loaded. In "/etc/devfsd.conf" you can configure it to be compatible with the old standard.
