Description Rob Frye 2006-02-27 08:16:17 UTC

Exception received:
CopyPackageToChrootError :FATAL: copy_pkg_to_chroot: Could not copy files from /var/tmp/portage/grub-0.96-r2/image to / for sys-boot/grub-0.96-r2
Please submit a bug report (after searching to make sure it's not a known issue and verifying you didn't do something stupid) with the contents of /var/log/install.log and /tmp/installprofile.xml and the version of the installer you used

I used the livecd-i686-installer-2006.0.iso image to run the install.

Try something for me, please. Open a terminal and do the following:

sudo su -
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
tar -C /mnt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/grub-0.96-r2/image -c . | tar -C /mnt/gentoo -x
echo $?

Paste the output of those commands to this bug.

All the commands executed, and after echo $?, the output shown was:

0

Hope that helps.

Comment 4 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2006-02-27 19:46:04 UTC

That tells me that your failure was a fluke, because it was not reproducible. Just in case it wasn't a fluke, try it again with the CVS version of the installer. Run '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe' in a terminal, choose the Verbose option from the "Misc" tab of the Pre-install Config screen, and try your install again. The CVS version should provide some more useful output in the event of a failure.

Comment 5 Bryan Quigley 2006-02-27 20:47:41 UTC

I got the same error.

installer.log.failed.

Please try what I asked the reporter to do. Run '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe' in a terminal, choose the Verbose option from the "Misc" tab of the Pre-install Config screen, and try your install again. If it fails, I need the last ~50 or so lines from /var/log/installer.log.failed and /tmp/compile_output.log

Closing due to lack of response from either reporter.

Moving to Release Media/Installer.
