When trying to 'emerge system' during a stage 2 install (of both 2004.1 and 2004.2) emerge fails at same location each time. The final output is: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow Gentoo installation manual or Quick Install Reference 2. download and unpack stage 2 tarball 3. download and unpack portage snapshot 4. chroot to /mnt/gentoo 5. emerge system Actual Results: After successfully building first 4/5 packages glibc starts and after a bit the following output is displayed on screen and emerge stops. Computer will still take input and will output but if you try to emerge system again then it stops same place with the same error listing-- __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation filed (gfp=0xf0/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation filed (gfp=0x1d2/0) __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation filed (gfp=0x1d2/0) VM: killing process cc1 gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report.
