got a new pc - what i have to note?

[-leliel-]

Hi folks,

well, I moved from amd athlon xp 2000+ to a new pentium 4 3,2 machine with s-ata, ddr2 and pci express. I've installed gentoo several times, but never on an intel cpu, especially not with s-ata.

At the moment I have some problems with my partitions. Gentoo only mounts the root partition /dev/sda3. While booting there's a message /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda2 (swap) could not be mounted because the ressource is busy (even swapon /dev/sda2 could not help).

Another problem is, if I turn on acpi in my kernel (nitro-sources) my keyboard won't work.

thanks for any help!

try with a gentoo-dev-sources.
how does your partition scheme looks like ?

dev-sources doesn't have reiser4 included.

fstab

/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda3 / reiser4 notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 /data reiser4 notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0

s-ata support is compiled in:

cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SATA
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4=m
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS=m
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is not set

so long

My my my... don't try reiser4 until you know your partitions mount OK with reiser 3.6 first. Then convert them over to reiser4 if you dare, since it is still unstable. There's a reiser3.6 to reiser4 HOWTO on gentoo-wiki.com iirc.
