The following documentation could use some attention for the sake of clarity. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 14.Final steps: kernel and system logger If you're installing a Gentoo Linux 1.1+ stage3 tarball, we've made things convenient for you and included recent Linux sources in /usr/src/linux. Otherwise, you'll need to merge Linux source ebuilds. Here are the ones we currently offer: gentoo-sources: Our own performance and functionality-enhanced kernel based on -ac (doesn't include XFS support) xfs-sources: A snapshot of the SGI XFS CVS Linux source tree; this is the kernel to run if you're using the XFS filesystem openmosix-sources: A stock Linux kernel source tree patched with support for the GPL openMosix load-balancing/clustering technology usermode-sources: A stock Linux kernel source tree patched with support for User-Mode Linux. ("Linux inside Linux" technology) vanilla-sources: A stock Linux kernel source tree, just like you'd get from kernel.org Choose one and then merge as follows: Code listing 24 # emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ---------------------------------------------------------------- First: I would suggest expanding on description regarding xfs-sources to be more explanatary as to what to do if you have mixed partition types (for instance when /boot is ext2-3, and your others are XFS). Second: "Code listing 24" lists a command that chokes when applied following a stage2-1.2 file being applied. The command that works is minus the "sys-kernel/" part of the string. Hence: "# emerge gentoo-sources" would be the command that works. I hope this helps. Thanks for everything.

Try emerge --pretend sys-kernel/gentoo-sources and let me know if you still have this problem. sherman
