Hey!

I cant find the SGI XFS file system support in the new 2.4.19-gentoo kernel. Where it use to stand there is now support for system V/Xenix/V7/coherent instead. Can I skip support for XFS now or what, Im confused javascript:emoticon(%27%3A?')

One more thing where can I find "USE DMA by default" option as it sys in the installation manual.

Many Thanks!

In the new gentoo kernel there is no support for XFS

In the mailing list all users that are using the XFS file system should emerge the sys-kernel/xfs-sources but poorly its only in version 2.4.18 and what I see without devfs support.

Why using the 2.4.18-xfs kernel instead of the 2.4.19-r1?

And where can I find the DMA thing?

The enable DMA by default is an IDE option. You can find it in:

ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -->
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices -->

Under the Generic PCI bus-master DMA support option:
"Use PCI DMA by default"

Happy compiling
