Decided to try out the GUI installer. Installer seems to work fine, but installing X11 (everything marked stable) failed. Used a stage 3 tarball, as well as the portage tree from 11 March of this year. i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=i686 -O2 -pipe -march=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -pedantic -Wno-return-type -w -fno-merge-constants -I. -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/fb -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/mfb -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/mi -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/int10 -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/cfb -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xaa -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/rac -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/vgahw -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/fbdevhw -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/ramdac -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/ddc -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/i2c -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/Xext -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf8_32bpp -I../../../../../../include/fonts -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/include -I../../../../../../exports/include/X11 -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf24_32bpp -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/shadowfb -I../../../../../../include/extensions -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/vbe -I../../../../../../programs/Xserver/render -I../../../../../.. -I../../../../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSHAPE -DXINPUT -DXKB -DLBX -DXAPPGROUP -DXCSECURITY -DTOGCUP -DXF86BIGFONT -DDPMSExtension -DPANORAMIX -DRENDER -DRANDR -DXFIXES -DDAMAGE -DCOMPOSITE -DXEVIE -DGCCUSESGAS -DAVOID_GLYPHBLT -DPIXPRIV -DSINGLEDEPTH -DXFreeXDGA -DXvExtension -DXFree86LOADER -DXFree86Server -DXF86VIDMODE -DXvMCExtension -DSMART_SCHEDULE -DXResExtension -DX_BYTE_ORDER=X_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DXORG_VERSION_CURRENT="(((6) * 10000000) + ((8) * 100000) + ((2) * 1000) + 0)" -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DIN_MODULE -DXFree86Module -c i128IBMDAC.c i128IBMDAC.c: In function `I128ProgramSilverHammer': i128IBMDAC.c:697: error: `cace' undeclared (first use in this function) i128IBMDAC.c:697: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once i128IBMDAC.c:697: error: for each function it appears in.) i128IBMDAC.c:697: error: parse error before numeric constant make[7]: *** [i128IBMDAC.o] Error 1 make[7]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i128' make[6]: *** [all] Error 2 make[6]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers' make[5]: *** [all] Error 2 make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86' make[4]: *** [hw/xfree86] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc/programs/Xserver' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc/programs' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 !!!

Decided to look in to the problem a few minutes ago. Looks like a typo on the erroenous line (697): 'cace' should be 'case' (since it's in a switch block). I'll see if I can get a patch file over to this machine and/or figure out how to restart the install of x11 on that machine (via the installer).

I just unpacked it locally, and I can't reproduce your issue. supernova i128 # ls CVS i128dga.c i128.h i128init.c i128reg.h Imakefile i128accel.c i128_driver.c i128IBMDAC.c i128.man IBMRGB.h Ti302X.h supernova i128 # grep cace * supernova i128 # Line 697: case 24: /* 32 bit */ Perhaps you have a filesystem problem?
Didn't think so (I'll check though), but I'll try from scratch again :) However... I noticed that when I grabbed it from xorg's mirrors (at least on this machine which is not the problem machine) it seemed okay, but from gentoo distfiles it seemed to have the cace instead of case. But your suggestion seems more likely the case (pardon the pun), since I know some other people had no problems with installing X11. So will try again, and if I can still duplicate the problem, I'll go from there. Thanks for the help!
Changing this to invalid. I got many other errors and a coredump and so I decided to check ram. Loads of errors. Replaced and checked again and seems things are okay. Apologies for wasting your time on this.
