Description Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-19 11:42:48 UTC
The kernel sources are not on the InstallCD. This makes installing packages that require the kernel sources from a networkless installation impossible. I found this out when the installer failed on cdparanoia's pkg_setup() which bailed out with the known 'couldn't find kernel sources, fix /usr/src/linux' error message.

cdparanoia is a dependency of gnome, IIRC, so this is rather critical

I will mention the checksum of the image in a second comment, can't eject the CD I'm running just now ;)
Comment 1 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-19 11:54:15 UTC
bah, i'm stupid. This is all about the livecd, not the installcd.

livecd's md5sum: 33d54f017e620ce7e49189cc6cf6e799

wolf31o2, this looks like it's due to a later change you made to the cdparanoia ebuild. the x86 livecd hasn't broken because I had a binpkg with the older ebuild that just had the check commented out together, and the installer uses the ebuild from vdb. in the newer ebuild, you have the check skipped if 'use livecd || use bindist', which works when building the livecd, but breaks when using the installer.

This is "fixed" in the latest build.

I'm going to reopen this one since we were discussing how to fix it properly for the future in #-releng...

Chris, what was the deal with this one?
Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-18 06:04:44 UTC
I honestly don't remember.
Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-13 17:18:16 UTC
OK.  Should we be pushing USE="bindist livecd" when installing the packages?  I think so, since we might have other things with bindist/livecd checks in a pkg_* function.  Hopefully, we won't run into any more issues, but adding this to the installer shouldn't hurt anything, since the packages were all built with these flags.
Comment 8 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-03 17:21:27 UTC
The installer is deprecated.
