I'll have a try. But I the kernel doesnt seem to be the (only) blocker. My current configuration is: * Hetzner's debian image on sda * gentoo on sdb (root: sdb1) If I try the debian kernel w/ /dev/sdb1 as root, nothing comes up, even not a single write on disk (also tweaked to /sbin/rc to touch a file, but that doesnt happen). Then I tried another init program on the debian system - it's just a little script which does a few mounts and touches and then calls /sbin/init. With the debian system, perfectly fine, but chroot'ing to the gentoo system doesnt seem to work.

But still the system doesnt come up :( Is there anyway for logging what's happending in the first bootup stages to some file ? Ah, maybe some idea: the sdb1 fs is an ext2 (was my mistake, I wanna have ext3), so maybe the checkroot stuff might try to run fsck first and fails.

Well, security holes have been discovered in bind in the past - and there are no reasons to assume none will be found in the future. ;-) Once your firewall is compromised, your whole network is under threat. Though the risk is probably small, you can avoid it easily. Rund bind on one of the boxes behind your firewall. Forward port 53 from your fw to that box. Announce your FW as the secondary name server. Uwe -- Ignorance killed the cat, sir, curiosity was framed! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Remote install @Hetzner
Hi folks, meanwhile I've got the machine running directly from Gentoo rootfs :) I had to tweak several things in /sbin/rc and now am in the process of merging back with the original one. One nice tip: Put a small wrapper in middle between init and rc which redirects output to some file (needs rootfs mounted rw, of course). So you can later see from rescue system what was happening :) cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

So you can > later see from rescue system what was happening :) Beware: this has one drawback: If you're logging to the rootfs, it cannot be remounted ro in /etc/init.d/checkroot, and if that failed - the machine's unbootable again :( I've changed it to just print out an warning instead of holding up the whole boot process. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Sudo config

This doesn't fix the problem of the clock being wrong, though, does it? Chances are the CMOS battery's flat. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] FrireFox3 behaving badly :)
Since upgrading to firefox 3, FF has started behaving badly. If I click on a link in say evolution in one desktop, with FF open in another, FF will jump to the desktop where I clicked on the link. This is quite off-putting to suddenly have FF move over the top of what you are doing and disturbingthe workflow. Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour of previous versions?
