Description Jon Hood 2007-05-08 17:39:46 UTC
The menuconfig command does not run during kernel configuration. A window looks like it's about to come up with something that may be a terminal, but immediately closes out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) advanced install
...
(additional bug: typo in instructions: "to us the URI browser" --> "to use the URI browser")
...
2) download stage3 from pair networks; use portage snapshot on cd
...
3) build your own (kernel) from sources
4) select gentoo-sources
5) use the kernel's menuconfig process
screen pops up and immediately closes
"Are you finished configuring your kernel?" (yes/no)
no
Repeat screen pop up and message.
yes
....
Your install has failed.

Clicking "view log" renders the same quick pop-up.

Bleh, that worked the last time I tested it (which was right after I implemented it). I'll take a look in a bit. At least this isn't a show stopper as you can use the default genkernel config.

Andrew, can you try to fix this for 2007.1?
Comment 4 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-16 21:32:53 UTC
Starting with 2007.1, the installer will be for networkless installs only,
which makes this bug moot.
