Re: [gentoo-user] the eagle has landed!!!

You might already know this and have thought a way around it, but in my experience (plus I've read this in several places) Microsoft Windows will refuse to boot up unless it is taking up /dev/hda1. It wants to be the first OS on the primary hard drive so that it can believe that it is the only one

Yee-hah! Finally, after about 6 weeks cursing and ripping out my few remaining hairs, I got gentoo to boot off the HD w/ NO errors! I'm s stoked! I'm using a 1.1Gig drive as /dev/hda for boot duty, which seems like a waste, but I'm sure I can find something to put on all that extra space. Onl

I use xbindkeys. Executing: xbindkeys -mk should allow you to see what key sequence the special keys are mapped to (and then use them in your '.xbindkeysrc' file to execute commands/apps). HTH, -Hani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This appears to be a known issue. Although my crash is a bit different than others I get the same trace info in dmesg. Caused by ati-drivers under 2.6.12. Don't do it I guess. Cheers, Mark On 7/2/05, Mark Knecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone else run into this? Can you cleanly log out
