Ok, So I'm running Grub2, openrc, and a gentoo patched kernel. This is a new system I've been fiddling with, so the problem could easily be my oversite.
I'v build several kernels. I go into the advanced tab upon reboot and boot up the latest kernel I've compiled, (3.13.1-gentoo). It boot fine. Printing works. lp and lpr still do not work for printing raw text files? I used cups and hplip (8600 pro officejet). All other printing is find. Here is what has me stumped.I started out with this kernel: kernel-3.10.25-gentoo. Since I have built and successfully ran (most things) on these kernels too: kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1 and last: kernel-3.13.1-gentoo. I have built these kernels same way as all others cd /usr/src/ ln -sf <target kernel> linux cd linux make && make modules && make modules_install cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.13.1-gentoo cp System.map /boot/System.map-3.13.1-gentoo cp .config /boot/config-3.13.1-gentoo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg So the new kernels work, but, besides permission problems, it only looks to the original /lib/modules/ dir for modules (example): # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart Stopping cupsd ... /etc/init.d/../conf.d/modules: line 25: /lib/modules/3.10.25-gentoo/kernel/drivers/char/kcopy/kcopy.ko: Permission denied <same for these modules: nf_nat_sip.ko, nf_nat_irc.ko xt_LOG.ko, xt_nat.ko xt_mark.ko nf_nat.ko nf_nat_ftp.ko ipt_MASQUERADE.ko iptable_nat.ko nf_nat_ipv4.ko> ERROR: modules failed to start Starting cupsd ... So what should the perms. be and what do I need to do to get it to point to the kernel I'm booting, 3.13.1-gentoo ? It is a grub 2 thing or what? /lib/modules/3.13.1-gentoo/kernel/net/netfilter total 100K -rw------- 1 root root 25K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat.ko -rw------- 1 root root 6.0K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_ftp.ko -rw------- 1 root root 5.6K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_irc.ko -rw------- 1 root root 15K Feb 4 09:17 nf_nat_sip.ko -rw------- 1 root root 22K Feb 4 09:17 xt_LOG.ko -rw------- 1 root root 4.5K Feb 4 09:17 xt_mark.ko -rw------- 1 root root 5.5K Feb 4 09:17 xt_nat.ko /lib/modules/3.10.25-gentoo/kernel/net/netfilter total 100K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.0K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_ftp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.5K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_irc.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16K Jan 14 23:28 nf_nat_sip.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22K Jan 14 23:28 xt_LOG.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.5K Jan 14 23:28 xt_mark.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.5K Jan 14 23:28 xt_nat.ko What did I miss, besides the permissions?
