Hmm. Sounds plausible. Maybe I'll have to put it back into /var/www/...
and try to work out why I can't see images there.
Thanks for your help Paul.

Re: [gentoo-user] Does UEFI needs seperate /boot partition?
> As UEFI needs a FAT partition /boot/efi/efi, > can I create it from my previous /boot partition? I haven't tried it yet - my /boot and /boot/efi are still two seperate partitions on my sys - but in theory it should work just fine with only a UEFI partition as the UEFI bootloader just loads the grub2 loader (I don't know what it's called, sorry. but I mean the grubx64.efi file) and then grub2 loads the rest. grub2 does not care where the stuff is, it just needs to know where to find the files (and maybe load some extra modules if you keep your files on a rare filesystem, raid, lvm, etc...).

No, nothing when I search for remote or remoteaccess or access ... If this Intel AMT, or vPRO thingy is outside the MoBo chipset then it may not get probed or be accessible by the kernel? But then, how does lshw see it? *-remoteaccess UNCLAIMED vendor: Intel physical id: 2 capabilities: outbound <--what does this mean?

Re: [gentoo-user] Oh no! My raid5 is not assembled, and how I fixed it.
Are you using sys-fs/mdadm-3.2.4 or sys-fs/mdadm-3.2.5? If so see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/dev/255107 (Gentoo Dev list) and bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416081 -- Walter Dnes

My autoassembled raid5 setups still work, autoassembled raid1 to. But the stuff that is supposed to be assembled by mdadm has to be done by hand. So much about 'user space assembling is so much better and robust'. As shown: it isn't. Pisses me off everytime I reboot. which is, luckily, not THAT often. -- #163933

Was just about to leave the house, thought I'd do a quick reboot first, but instead of a login screen, I got a blank screen. It's always something when you are invited to a barbecue and try to be punctual :)

That leaves me wondering how a mere mortal tells the difference between a broken driver and a missing driver. Ask a kernel dev, obviously :)

I just did a portage sync and now it wants to downgrade back to 3.2.3-r1. I had bad luck on the timing for my quarterly reboot, I guess. :) Thanks.
