Due to bug #178147 I tried to use the dialog installer which does not have that problem (but uses the portage config/repository from the livecd instead) which worked fine until the kernel selection. After selecting "gentoo-sources" and "genkernel" (as there was no "menuconfig" support :( ) the install failed with this error: GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:54 - Starting emerge_kernel, package is gentoo-sources GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:55 - This is a bad thing. An exception occured outside of the normal install err ors. The error was: 'list index out of range' GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:55 - Traceback (most recent call last): GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:55 - File "/opt/installer/GLIClientController.py", line 122, in run func() GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:55 - File "/opt/installer/GLIArchitectureTemplate.py", line 755, in emerge_kerne l_sources if (len(kernels[counter]) > 6) and (kernels[counter][0:6]=="linux-"): GLI: May 14 2007 09:11:55 - IndexError: list index out of range With debugging enabled a different exception is thrown that might be more useful: GLI: May 14 2007 08:58:47 - Starting emerge_kernel, package is gentoo-sources GLI: May 14 2007 08:58:48 - This is a bad thing.

I believe you are hitting two separate bugs. one bug is in the verbose logging because that should be +str(kernels) instead of +kernels. I'll look into the other bug to see if i can diagnose it further.
The verbose logging issue has been fixed.
The rest of this bug doesn't matter since we're not building kernels anymore, since the 2007.1 installer will be networkless only.
