Seems theres a problem either in the 1.2 boot cd or the bootstrap script that makes it die with too many open files.. I've hacked the make.conf to use only -j1 in makeopts, but that shouldnt be necessary and not something that the user appreciated.
just confirming that i'm experiencing the same thing here.
# echo 10000 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max And try again ?
Is this still an issue? Anyone?
this is an issue until the bootscripts on the cd has changed to include something like the fix below.
I saw this error message once, when building on a brand new pc on which system date had not been set. (It was then a few months in the past.) Setting the date fixed the problem for me.
The 1.4_rc1 and later livecds "up" the maximum number of open files to address this issue. Closing this bug. Thanks for the bug report :)
