Possibly, but that's unlikely to make this problem go away since it |
6 |
appears to come from a device naming conflict. This is inherent in the |
7 |
hardware setup. I've inquired elsewhere regarding moving this matter to |
8 |
some other list where the participants are more versed in Linux kernel |
9 |
and system issues. This list seems to have been a poor choice for this |
10 |
thread, since kernel issues aren't the specialty of the participants, |
11 |
although several people have been helpful. |

The problem should be soluble without reloading the OS. I've made some |
14 |
progress. If I can solve the dev name conflict issue and get my RAID |
15 |
arrays reconstituted, then I can deal with the video card issues and I'm |
16 |
home free :-) I'm sure the naming conflict issue has come up before, |
17 |
for other people, and someone, somewhere has a solution for it. |

Ultimately the path forward will be to build a new desktop box, which |
20 |
probably won't be running Gentoo. It'll have a much more sane disk |
21 |
configuration, and won't be subject to other legacy hardware issues |
22 |
(which I haven't discussed here) than this one is. I'd like to make one |
23 |
more push with this box, though, to get the immediate problem resolved. |
