for christ sake's, what's wrong lately? first, the amd64 gentoo 2005.0 minimal boot cd has some buggy raiddrivers which forced me to use a 2004.0 and now not even bootstraping finishes. i tried a lot, for example i moved the linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2.ebuild to linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r4.ebuild but it's not working neither: IT SETS THE WRONG CPU in the .config, simple as that. * Cryptographic options * Cryptographic API (CRYPTO) [N/y/?] n * * Library routines * CRC-CCITT functions (CRC_CCITT) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) n CRC32 functions (CRC32) [Y/?] y CRC32c (Castagnoli, et al) Cyclic Redundancy-Check (LIBCRC32C) [M/n/y/?] m SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/* CC scripts/mod/empty.o scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2 make: *** [scripts] Error 2 !!!

don't get me wrong - i'm just on the edge because i tried a lot and a long time but couldn't solve the problem.
multilib bug
meaning what?
What stage tarball are you using? What portage snapshot are you using, or are you using the latest sync?
No response. Please reopen if you have further information.
i'm sorry i forgot to post back. i used a stage1-amd64-2005.0 tarball and the latest sync. the problem was i used CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" instead of CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" in /etc/make.conf. so, problem solved
