If Arch uses grub then just skip the Gentoo grub install and use
what's already installed. Add the Gentoo boot stuff to your existing
grub.conf file and you're good to go.

ate I've not found a way (within Linux) to reset the head parking
times.
There are reports of wdidle3 not really helping. Apparently it has a
maximum that isn't all that much higher than what the drives do by
default.
I haven't had the time (or the need frankly) to get around to looking
at this yet but I'd be happy to take a shot at it if we can come up
with a plan of attack. I think it will require both changing the
values and then some amount of testing to ensure we know what the side
effects are.

Hi,
Does there happen to be a Gentoo doc anywhere that goes through
creating an initrd from scratch?
If not Gentoo, then any good web site would be a big help. I'm
interested in booting from RAID - or at least investigating it - so I
need to learn about this.
Thanks,

Hi,
This is a mostly stable machine. Why is what I think is the stable
version of libgnomecanvas-python failing to build?
The newer version portage (2.28.1) requires masked packages so
that's not a good option.
What's a person to do?

What am I missing in the question?
Test it on a clean app with no dependencies missing. It should emerge
nothing. Then emerge -C one dependency and try it again. It should
pick up that dependency but not emerge the app itself.
You will not hurt your system doing that command.

e/distfiles probably includes all the source which you
don't strictly need to keep if you don't mind downloading it again at
a future date. You can remove that.
/usr/src could be reduced to one source tree.

Two notes:
1. Don't compile of of you SSD! You can use external storage, like a USB
HDD or nfs share to build (put your portage_tmpdir and /usr/portage on)
2. Don't change a winning team! If your kernel run's smoothly with no
weird glutches in drivers, leave it be. Only update if you want new
features.

A couple of things to note:
1) I've never done any hal specific modifications on any of my machines.
2) You must choose an 800x600 def

ago was visible in some sense in the Xorg.0.log
files. I would look for errors, figure out what was causing them,
mostly being config issues in my case, and then fix them and try
again. It really paid to sort of dig into that file and try to look
closely at every warning message along with the more obvious error
(EE) messages.
I also got help on the same ATI list you were pointed out. Very helpful folks.
Good luck,
Mark

e but if you want/need a mire
full X setup, more fonts, etc., then use xorg-x11.
You can always start with xorg-server and switch over later as the
server is a subset of the latter.

Just read the names of the apps. They are mostly pretty simple. If one
app looks interesting or possibly useful you can emerge it directly,
play with it and throw it away if you don't want to keep it around. I
don't personally need the fonts although they aren't generally much
trouble in terms of updates as they don't change.
Anyway, as I said, I only use the full package on one machine and
hardly notice the difference.

been booted but
never understood why. This email is helpful. It seems to me that if it
is the ebuild that's doing this is needs to be fixed. If I understand
correctly I could be building for 2.6.31 but installing in 2.6.29?
That's not right...
Thanks to all for the info.

ation process over the years. I only copy bzImage to /boot with
a rename to whatever this kernel is. I don't do anything with the
other files - System.map and something else - which I don't even have
on most of my systems anymore. They don't seem to be needed. Are they
just things used in the old days but now too outdated or replaced by
other stuff? (Like config.gz in the kernel, etc.)
Thanks,
Mark
t, but I wanted to be careful with db as it might
be important to portage or eix.
What's the right way to fix this?
If it matters this is a PPC Mac Mini used as a MythTV backend
server. revdep-rebuild -ip says everything is clean and emerge -DuN
@system @world is finished.
