See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=57754 for background info. The livecd-ng script references versions of BusyBox and Cloop which aren't available and the versions are hard-coded in the script. These variables need to be factored out into the gentoo-basic or custom profile somehow. BusyBox is incorrectly referenced as a bz2 archive when it should be a tar.gz. Also, the default emerge livecd-ng should included a dependency on Busbox, Syslinux and Cloop to ensure that theses are installed in the /etc/livecd-ng/archives directory automatically when livecd-ng is emerged. The cloop specific issue is addressed in the seperate existing bug, number: 21411. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run emerge livecd-ng 2. set gentoo-basic profile settings 3. run livcd-ng gentoo-basic fetch build initrd clean cloop isogen umount 4. view script warning/error messages which appear for Busybox/Syslinux Actual Results: The livcd-ng script failed with errors relating to missing/incorrect BusyBox, Cloop and Syslinux references. Expected Results: Generated the ISO image with no errors. Machine: Dell Latitude C640 Laptop - fairly standard and upto-date Gentoo based system with KDE.
