Successful magic upgrade to kernel 2.6
Post experiences here please.
Quick tip for successful upgrading:
Once Magic has finished, backup your ENTIRE E: partition, then format your E: partition, then transfer your backup back to E:. Then boot up and run `emerge mozilla-firefox`

just wondering
is the fatx problem the one and only thing i am looking for to go wrong or... In other words is this the only thing stopping me from updating correctly and booting the 2.6 kernal GentooX
Xenium Ice (OS 2.3.0); 320Gb WesternDigital HD; Evox M8+ bios; Linux dual-boot GentooX; Lastest CVS build XBMC with built-in XLink Kai: Evolution VII (Global Network Gaming); XBOX to USB adapter . . .
Re: just wondering
Hey is it safe to run magic while you are making these changes noted for *update* and *update2* on the front page or ... do I have to wait for the O.K. again (do these big changes that you are making have any impact to Magic)shadycady wrote:is the fatx problem the one and only thing i am looking for to go wrong or...

so, seeing as im in home 3.0 (couldnt find pro v1.1 disk or it was too scratched) my last update took about 78 hours. and that was a year ago. this is a fresh install of 3.0, so i should be fine, correct?
i find it odd that in the past year and a half of using gentoox ive had less problems than with fedora 3 on my pc.

good god
well i am at work then accessing my home computer over and then working on my xbox from here so i am having a long distance chat with my xbox so i dunno if its on fire or what but it is running slowly .. god this is the worst Spring Break
so how long do you estimate having Home 4.0 out if I keep this up you might be done before i get this update done
well gotta do something constructive and work just doesn't cut it

i follow this (kind of)...in process of doing it.
When you say backup E: then format E:
Do you mean from within gentoox...
ftp or samba share the whole of / over to a pc (cant do this i imagine as files will be in use)...OR boot to a dash and ftp "gentooxx.xbe oldlinuz sprkrd.gz vmlinuz bzImage initrd.gz rootfs swap" over for the backup.
then format /dev/loop/0 or something.
then go back to a dash and copy them back....
I did an ftp install to E: originally.
confused....bsp

Home v4.0 might be a LONG while (maybe a month or so). I need to rebuild and update ALL packages to use NPTL (its been a long time since i refreshed Home... so it needs a new kde which is 60 hours itself...). Pro v2.0 is nearing completion which I will probably release as a test for 2.6.
Im interested to know what errors you saw exactly.
