If you'd read the part you snipped, you'd have seen that Dan had indeed tried haveged and it worked. Thank you, Dan. I hadn't heard of it, but your report immediately suggested I try it to reduce the wait while chronyd started, on two machines here. Worked like a charm: no waiting for enough entropy to be collected. -- Regards, Peter.

[gentoo-user] emerging older compilers
For testing purposes, I would like to install older compilers, e.g. testing with older kernels. I have tried to install e.g. gcc-5.4.0-r4, gcc-4.9.4, and gcc-3.4.6-r2.ebuild (package.unmask is upd. for theese), but it fails. You usually install a newer compiler with the older (and that is well tested), but has anyone tried it the other way ? Regards, /Karl Hammar --- Aspö Data Lilla Aspö 148 S-742 94 Östhammar Sweden
Re: [gentoo-user] emerging older compilers
Policy is that you *should* be able to go back in steps of two versions. Eg. emerge 4.8 with 5.0 ... However, this is occasionally broken, so please file bugs with the detailed logs and versions.

[gentoo-user] SATA drive controller and Linux driver.
Howdy, I found this SATA card. I've found it in several places so may not buy from this vendor but this one has some nice pics of the card. Also, brands seem to vary too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Syba-Marvell-88SE9235-Four-Port-SATA3-Controller-Card-SI-PEX40062-NEW/132845338557 I checked the kernel config options and see a Marvel driver that is close but it doesn't list this particular chip. However, some searching leads me to believe it is supported. Thing is, no one mentions what driver they used for it to work, just that it did or they got it to work. Does anyone have a card and know for sure that this works and is stable? Also, any clues on what driver it takes? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] SATA drive controller and Linux driver.
Yes, I have that card (well, the 2 internal/2 external port version). Works fine with the AHCI driver on x86_64. No quirks needed, supports FIS, etc. ScottE On Fri, Nov 30, 2018 at 5:50 PM Michael Orlitzky wrote: > On 11/30/18 8:15 PM, Dale wrote: > > > > Does anyone have a card and know for sure that this works and is > > stable?
