Ok, finally have a working complete install of gentoo 64.

does anyone know if there are any ati 64 bit linux drivers? every driver is masked.

does anyone know if there are any Sound Blaster Audigy drivers? the only driver is masked.

Also, i have a Raid 0 NTFS array that i would like to be able to READ from. Its on a PCI card, and has all my mp3's etc. now, how would i go about getting that drive mounted, and then enabled as read only?

thanks.

There are drivers, obviously. If there weren't, you wouldn't be able to use the system. 😕

Probably, did you configure them into your kernel? Check the alsa page. What is this "masked" thing you keep mentioning?

Ensure you have proper drivers for the PCI raid card installed, ensure the NTFS module is loaded, and mount the NTFS drive.

masked, is using portage, gentoo masks them so you cant fvck up and install something that wont work.

Doesn't mean a whole lot to me... Guess it's time to RTFM. 😛
 
I really doubt there are ports of the binary ATI drivers, but you should be able to use the OSS ones as long as they support your hardware. Same thing for the Audigy, the OSS and ALSA drivers should both work fine on a 64-bit system.
 
There are no 64 bit ATI binaries for hardware acceleration. You can use DRI to get 2d (which you obviously have). Apparently ati said they'd have 64 bit drivers out for linux in December...

As for the PCI raid, you will have to compile and install the kernel module for it, compile ntfs support for your raid module and then mount the disk (or fstab it). Look up the hardware info for your card to know which one to use. After that it should just be a matter of:

modprobe <whatever module to get your card working>
modprobe ntfs (assuming you compiled support as a module)
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdxY /mnt/ntfs

/dev/sdxY is the device name for your disk... dmesg| less to find that once you have the modules installed
/mnt/ntfs is a mount point you create... mkdir /mnt/ntfs first so it exists.

Honestly the gentoo forums are much better for this than AT. I bet full instructions for your particular PCI card are given on the forums there.

<--- half assedly working on getting gentoo64 working. Had it mostly done, then I b0rked my kernel and wanted to play some hl2 so i just booted windows 😛

Oh and PSA: Nothinman or n0cmonkey, would one of you PLEASE change your avatar? Your names are similar, you post in the same forums and you've got the same damn avatar I get you two mixed up all the damn time 😛😀
 
I did have Gentoo Stage 1 installed on a quad Opteron, but I wasn't going to play games with an ATI Rage 8Mb PCI 😉
I did, however, get the RAID up and running, by using "modprobe megaraid". Worked first time 🙂

well, i can read it, now i just need to get alsa installed so i can listen 😉

The alsa guide was very straight forward. I never had any problems getting sound to work (getting it to work well on my old nforce2 soundstorm was another thing though...)
 
i got it all working now. just to learn some more things about linux, how to get kde to be a live desktop with all that stuff working, a temp monitoring program, etc.
