I have a K6 with 32 MB ram a Matsonic MB. Redhat and Mandrake install fine. Gentoo install CD boots. Tried to install with x86 install cd and x86 tarball. Tried compiling the system set as a 586. fails to compile. Tried compiling with no optimizations and with 586 optimizations. I even tried as a 686. They all lock up or die on the glibc compile. Sorry, about not having more information. I needed to get the system working and didn't copy down the exact location. I put a mandrake on it. gotta go and finish configuring the system as a router. Bummer would have preferred gentoo on the box.
Are you running out of RAM? Running out of swap? Running out of disk? Overheating? Without more information, resolving this will be impossible.
No, not running out of memory. Or at least I don't think so. 128 MB of swap, No not a swap or disk error. /dev/hda1 /boot 100MB /dev/hda2 / 1.5GB /dev/hda5 /usr 2.5 GB /dev/hda6 /home 2.2GB Sorry, guess you'll just have to close this one. I have no intention of trying it again on that box. It is now up and configured and serving the LAN access to the internet and firewalling. Albiet it with a Mandrake install. I will be trying to install it on my Duron though.
I have a k6-2 500 with 256MB ram and 256 MB swap. When I run "scripts/bootstrap.sh" I get an error, something about an unknown/invalid instruction when it is emerging glibc-2.3.1. I tried to emerge glibc-2.2.5-r7 by hand and gives me a totally different error(copied by hand): ../linuxtheads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sigthread.h:36: storage class specified for parameter 'type name' (and it goes down hill from there.) If you want I can try to run "scripts/bootstrap.sh" again and get the real error from glibc-2.3.1. I don't think I am overheating, but I will see if I can try some memory tester to see if maybe it has some crap memory. Let me know if you need any other info.
Nobody asked for it, but here is the error I get when I run "scripts/bootstrap.sh" and it gets to emerging glibc-2.3.1. This looks strangely like 7110, except that it was glibc-2.2.5. make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.1-r2/work/glibc-2.3.1/buildhere/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.stmp] Illegal instruction
Have a look at comment #23 of bug #14212: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) To be on the safe side, installation of Gentoo should be done with a reccomended total memory (RAM + SWAP) of 640 megs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, try to update to gcc-3.2.2_pre20030131, as it fixes a loop optimize bug with the k6.
Latest gcc+docs should be updated by now.
