Bugzilla Bug 38767

I've tried a line cd 1.4 as well as downloading a stage2 tarball to sue instead
of the tarball on the live cd.  the downloaded kernel compile "genkernel all"
errored during the module compile when I added theoption for more verbosity to
5, the process/terminal locked up.  I can boot up under the cd and start a sshd
to allow a developer to ssl in as I do have a static IPs. I have a 128KSDSL
line.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow the instructions to install gentoo on the livecd starting with stage1
form teh cd or download the stage2 tarball and use that once you are at the
extraction phase.  I plan on downloading and trying the stage3 tarball tomorrow
once I download it
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
either the kernel or modules will not compile or if they do, the system will
kernal panic on a reboot

Expected Results:  
clean compile and ability to reboot the system of the hard drive.

I can start an sshd  from teh live cd boot and make the sytem available for
remote access.  note I only have a 128K SDSL line so downloads are slow.  The
current system is at the genkernal all stage where the modules failed to
compile.

I can often be found on dalnet, nick Multics or Multics-work

You don't say what kernel you are trying to use. Also could you try running
genkernel --menuconfig and disable any stuff you don't need. That will tell us
if it some bad module.

The kernel 9s 2.4.22-gentoo-r5
the state 2 tarball installed is stage2-athlon-xp-20030910.tar.bz2
genkernel version v3.0.1_beta6

a genkernal all ends with the line:

gendie(): compile of modules failed

I haven't tried the --menuconfig yet.  I tried a make menuconfig on a
previous attempt, installed using lilo, and followed the directions and
ended up with a kernal panic at or near the partition check.  /boot was
ext2, all the rest were reiser.  I redid the attempt and remade the
partitions as ext3.  (tared up the systm, mke2fs, untar) as I've never
used reiser before and thought that might be the problem.

===
I ran with --menuconfig, only change was to set the cpu type to athlon-xp

the modules phase complains about the following missing files/directories:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r5/...
        ds.o
        pcmcia
        Sym53c8xx.o
        Sym53c8xx_2

I continued and tried to install lilo.

I did emeerge -k lilo and got the following error:
boot.c: In function "boot_image"
boot.c:76: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclared

I have the system up on a custom kernel and grub from cd /usr/src/linux and
make menuconfig method.  The genkernel gnerated kernel can't find the the root
device

STEP 4:
root block dev unspecified or not detected.

I can provide an account/access to the system via ssh if this would help as the
machine has a static IP, though no name service entries at this time.

if you still experience this with the newest release, please re-open the bug.
many thanks for taking your time to log this.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
