I have a Hardened Gentoo running on my laptop. I am going to install a new Gentoo system on my mobile harddisk, and using a Hardened 20090630 autobuilt stage3. While I updating its glibc, I met the problem. Grsecurity blocks me from chmod in chrooting system, and unpacking glibc failed. /var/log/kernel/current and build.log will be on soon. Since nobody tell me this, I think there should be a workaround or a notice like "Hardened Gentoo is not suitable for a new chroot installation of Gentoo Linux" in handbook. Thank you for your answers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a working Hardened Gentoo with GrSecurity enabled. 2. Download a stage3 and chrooting. 3. emerge -1u =glibc-2.9*.
You can install Hardened Gentoo in a chroot on 'normal' Gentoo without issue. When using chroots on a host with a grsec kernel you may need to loosen some grsec chroot restrictions. I think this is all pretty self-explanatory already in grsec Kconfig help and grsec documentation.
