in /etc/make.conf CHOST is set to "i586-pc-linux-gnu". I've tried several CFLAGS with -march=i586,k6,k6-2 -mcpu=k6-2 -Os -pipe and it always stops after configuring "gas" in binutils with error: "sed couldn't write XX items to stdout: broken pipe". What that means? a wrong CFLAGS?, version of binutils? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.extract stage1 2."emerge sync", edit /etc/make.conf and set CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" 3.cd /usr/portage and scripts/bootstrap.sh Expected Results: I would like to pass bootstrap with the most optimized CFLAGS My Hardware is: Mainboard Biostar M5ALC based on ALI chipsets AMD K6-2 500 MHz (no problems with overheating) 512 MB SDRAM (I've tested it with memtest a whole night. No errors occured) harddrive Maxtor 90422D2 4,2GB. I've made 1024M swap space 32M boot and the rest / partition. Before partitioning there was working windows 98.
Now I can pass bootstrap :} I've downclocked processor to 450MHz.
Now I can pass bootstrap :} I've downclocked processor to 450MHz (Acctually it was AMD K6-2 550 MHz plugged into mainboard which could work with max CPU speed 500MHz) .
OK, so it sounds like your CPU was getting a little toasty or is a little out of spec. I'm going to close this bug.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
