upgrading

[hedmo]

a week ago my mother board stoped working.so i decided to upgrade and was wondering if there is something
that i have to do more then rebuild my kernel

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

Thats the minimum you must do, as your hardware will be changed.
Change CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to suit your new CPU. If you use -march=native, no changes are required.
If you also upgrade your CPU you will need to rebuild other things to take advantage of the new instructions it provides. There is no hurry for this step and it can happen naturally with updates.

okej i did not know that i need to make that mutch
i am going to upgrade à LOT or allmost all

m2n dh to m4a89td PRO

athlon x2 64 am2 to am3

ddr2 to ddr3

and ati radeon hd 2900 xt x1 to x2 crossfire

so there is a bit upgrade but i did not think i
had to change My make.conf


CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe"

but if that so i am happy to have some advice to
go on

[krinn]

you got the advice already from neddy nothing more to add

[hedmo]

JIPPY My Box is up running got some problem with My
network.i can not fix it My self.My lspci tells me that its à
realtek RTL8111/816?Bbut i have tryed to fix stuff in My kernel
and tryed to load modules with no luck and My livecd locks
so here i am with My phone in need of help.

[krinn]

[hedmo]

krinn

thanks.it was the module name that i missed(just r not RTL)

[hedmo]

i dont get it.what is it that i am doing wrong

i have load the kernel module but still no eth

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

Loading the kernel module will not start eth0.

With the module loaded,

[hedmo]

NeddySeagoon

once again thanks

my eth0 had become eth1 so when you gave me ifconfig -a i found it

by the way shouldnt that be in the gentoo network conf docs

"one problem solved"

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

The eth0/eth1 thing is hard to document as the interface number depends on network card discovery order and how many network cards udev has seen.
The are all remembered in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

You may edit that file to remove/renumber interfaces that are no longer fitted or delete it and reboot, when udev will rewrite it.
If you do the latter, interface numbers are not preserved.

okej the holy things (gpu,sound and network)is up running so i am about to make my new
make.conf file.i got my self a Phenom II X6 so i am about to set

CFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe "
MAKEOPTS="-j7"

as safe cflags recomend

should i set these use flags to

fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall
nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc nonstop_tsc pni monitor cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy
svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt

and do i have to update my 2.6.31-r10 kernel to

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

If you do int intend to use distcc.

[hedmo]

NeddySeagoon


thanks for your advice.i belive your are talking about cross compile if i get it correct.i have had distcc
on my old installs but did not know what it was.i did read the gentoo docs about cross compile but i am not so good in
english so i did not understand what it does.i will set at least mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow sse4a to use

by the way


mybox cod4 # echo 'int main(){return 0;}' > test.c && gcc -v -Q -march=native -O2 test.c -o test && rm test.c test | grep march
bash: test.c: Read-only file system
mybox cod4 #

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

Cross compiling is when you use one more powerful system to build code for another completely different 'target' architeture.
e.g. using an amd64 system to build binaries that will run on an ARM CPU.

You can cross compile with distcc but its more usually used to allow other systems of the same or very similar architecture to cooperate on building the same piece of software.
The system wanting to build the software runs the configure stage then the preprocessed sources are sent over the network to 'helpers' that return the *.o files. Linking is then done on the build system.

[hedmo]

do you mean

mybox hedmo # mkdir /neddy
mybox hedmo # ls /
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Shadow.of.Chernobyl-ViTALiTY home media sbin
bin iTunesSetup.exe mnt sys
boot lib neddy tmp
dev lib32 opt usr
etc lib64 proc var

[NeddySeagoon]

hedmo,

That worked, so I don't understand your error
