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.
