I am compiling a fresh system for a headless box where i only have ssh-access. To do this i run the installation on a crippled debian-like emergency-console with an not that new kernel. Now everything until the "emerge -e system" went fine. Here i got the following error.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow the normal handbook but use the hardened stage and my make.conf 2. stop after "emerge -e system" and look for the output. Actual Results: [---snip---] * Warning! Gentoo's GLIBC with NPTL enabled now behaves like the * glibc from almost every other distribution out there. This means * that glibc is compiled -twice-, once with linuxthreads and once * with nptl. The NPTL version is installed to lib/tls and is still * used by default. If you do not need nor want the linuxthreads * fallback, you can disable this behavior by adding nptlonly to * USE to save yourself some compile time. >>> Unpacking source... * Checking gcc for __thread support ... yes * Checking kernel version (>=2.6.6) ... no * You need a kernel of at least version 2.6.6 * for NPTL support! [---snip---] Expected Results: Proper compilation, because the installed system will use the newest stable hardened kernel (2.6.11 i guess) wich is above 2.6.6 [this "emerge --info" was made *before* the bootstrap and "emerge -e system" !!] Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (hardened/x86/2.6, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.4.27 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.27 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: [Not Present] sys-devel/automake: [Not Present] sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: [Not Present] virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -falign-functions=4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -falign-functions=4" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig candy ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://www.gigaload.org/gentoo.org/" LANG="de_DE.utf8" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage/" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow aalib acl acpi apache2 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 clamav clamd cluster crypt curl curlwrappers dbm dedicated dio dlloader doc examples exif fastcgi fftw flac flash flatfile ftp gd gif hardened hardenedphp idn imagemagick imap inifile innodb ithreads java javascript jikes jpeg junit justify libcaca lm_sensors maildir matroska memlimit milter mime ming mmap mmx mng mysql mysqli nagios-dns nagios-game nagios-ntp nagios-ping nagios-ssh ncurses nhc98 nls nocd nptl ocaml offensive ogg pam pcre pdflib pear perl php pic png posix postgres prelude python qmail readline ruby sdl sensord session sharedmem snmp soap sockets spamassassin spell spl sse ssl subject-rewrite svg tcpd threads tidy tiff tokenizer truetype unicode userlocales utf8 vhosts vim-pager virus-scan vorbis x86 xml2 xsl zip zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS [hey... why does this use-list not nhow my negative uses (like -X)???]
System uname: 2.4.27 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ 2.4.27 is your current kernel, THAT'S what needs to be 2.6.x. -X won't show because.. well, it's disabled, so portage isn't going to show it.
you might be able to get away with installing a version of linux-headers later than 2.6.6. this is assuming you'll be installing a 2.6 kernel later. if you're sticking with 2.4 then you won't be able to have nptl support.
(In reply to comment #1) > 2.4.27 is your current kernel, THAT'S what needs to be 2.6.x. Sorry but i guess if you read my description completely you would know that this is the kernel of the poor recue system and not the kernel of the system that i'm installing. So glibc could compile nptl-support in, creating binaries that don't work on the rescue system but will work fine on the resulting system that's running after the final reboot. (But i see the problem here too: Maybe the installation uses those nptl-binaries already before the reboot wich would not work on the 2.4 kernel. But how do i circumvent this?)
(In reply to comment #2) > you might be able to get away with installing a version of linux-headers later > than 2.6.6. this is assuming you'll be installing a 2.6 kernel later. The kernel-headers that were installt at that moment of the error were 2.6.11 as seen here: > virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 Or am i missing something? ;)
