Hi group,
I checked my kernel config and found that console scrollback is enabled and
given 64k capacity. Guess that's the default. But the console can't be scrolled
back a single line. I upped the capcity to 128k, same thing. On the desktop I

No lvm but same problem: the two partitions sdb1, sdb2 aren't mounted
during boot, but are mountable by hand following login.

Thanks Mike, I put 'sleep 5' in checkfs and that seemed to do the trick.

HI group,
I moved /usr/portage to /var/portage and readjusted PORTDIR in
make.conf and re & re'd the link to /etc/make.profile.
Now emege -p pkg for user leads to
Permission denied: '/var/portage/profiles/categories'
It's OK for root.
NB:user is in portage group, /var/portage/profiles/categori
Hi group,

Hi group,
According to 'The X Server Configuration HOWTO'
"If you use alternative input devices, such as a Synaptics touchpad
for a laptop, be sure to add it to INPUT_DEVICES. "
So I put in make.conf INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard synaptics" and did
emerge -pv xorg-server.

I recall a reference, which I can't find anymore, to a method of
toggling the wireless on/off for a EEE-PC that involved first,
disabling wireless in the BIOS, and then echo'ing a 1 or a 0 to some
file or other. Does anybody know the method I refer to? I can't

OK, there's a fakekey(fakephp.ko) module in bus options, which I
configured and installed. No help. I think that script is outdated,
too. It mentions modules whic

Hi group,
Here's a switch: a computer that refuses to turn OFF. When I open a
root console and enter shutdown -h now my eee 900A Asus Intel-n270
freezes with the message:
The system is going down for a system halt NOW!
Looking at ctrl alt F12, after the usual, normal messages there is this:

Learn something new... Ok, I'll try that, thanks. But I forsee
difficulties: the Sys Rq key on the eee is part of the fn +
blue-labelled-key system. Is that similar to yours?
