The installation documentation states: #################################################################### "Code Listing 17: Copying over the Installation CD kernel config (Only do this if you are going to configure a 2.6 kernel) # zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 #################################################################### (Im a noob in Gentoo, so this might not be correct, but it helped me get a step further in my installation process): #################################################################### This is to be entered in a non-chroot()´ed console. It needs to get data from outside the chroot()´ed scope. (...and I beleave it should be:) # zcat /proc/config.gz > /mnt/gentoo/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 #################################################################### Plz mail back and tell wheter im rong or not. Thx for a greate documentaion btw. At that point, you have already chrooted and /mnt/gentoo... is no longer available. /usr/share... is the right path If /proc/config.gz was not available, I guess you forgot to mount proc on /mnt/gentoo/proc before chrooting. I have just tested in a chrooted environment (I'm busy doing installs) and it works. Marking as invalid, please reopen in required. See Code Listing 4: Mounting /proc and /dev in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap1 |
