G'day I've been trying to install Gentoo on my work's PC, which is a Dell GX270, P4 2.8ghz HT, 512mb of RAM, 40gb WD drive, the usual integrated stuff. I get the following segmentation fault when running scripts/bootstrap.sh-2.6: ============================================= >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.12-r3/image/ >>> Merging sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.12-r3 to / scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh: line 217: 12047 Segmentation fault emerge ${STRAP_EMERGE_OPTS} ${myOS_HEADERS} ${myTEXINFO} ${myGETTEXT} ${myBINUTILS} ${myGCC} ${myGLIBC} ${myBASELAYOUT} ${myZLIB} cdimage root # ============================================= This always occurs on what I believe to be the last package of the bootstrap sequence (13 of 13). As far as I know, this doesn't seem to occur under the scripts/bootstrap.sh I have to do an emerge-webrsync since I'm behind a firewall, and I do the emerges with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". I have ccache in my features, but since it isn't emerged it doesn't seam to effect things. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As above. Actual Results: System sometimes locks up, with top reporting loadtimes of 10+ before connection is lost to the remote box we're installing over SSH. Sometimes it just stops there, leaving me at a console to work out what went wrong. However the next command that is entered kills the system. Expected Results: Completed bootstrapping as per normal. Unable to do so, since the machine locked up. Its ~x86, i686 however, using emerge-webrsync sources.
_Don't_ run bootstrap on x86 with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 set. The install manual warns not to do that too.
I see. I had a quick look over the online install guide but didn't see it for myself. Perhaps a warning could be added to the bootstrap.sh to check for ~x86?
Marking as invalid, since ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" shouldn't be done before bootstrap.sh is finished. This is also mentioned in the installation guide ;)
