So, you expect us to ship you some RAM, or... ??? :=) no, really not :-) I think, 512MB RAM and 1GByte of swap should be enough. I don't really know, what's the reason. Everything is fine with all the emerge processes. When the final installdir command is in progress, you can watch with top free memory is going down, until all the swap is used, and then the process stops. df -h and mtab info please merlin ~ # df -h Dateisystem Gr merlin ~ # df -h Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/hda3 19G 1,7G 17G 9% / udev 252M 104K 251M 1% /dev /dev/hda1 38M 2,6M 34M 8% /boot none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm mtab: /dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 rw,noatime 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0 worth a shot. You're not the first person to report this problem - but the solutions in each case have been unique (in one case the user needed to start the install over, in another it was locale settings stomping in, bad memory, etc.). I'll keep researching as best I can. (In reply to comment #5) > worth a shot.

I'll keep researching as best I can. > don't think it's a simple solution. To your solutions: 1. It's my third try with this computer, starting each with an empty harddisk. The problem didn't occur on another system. There is also a strange python problem (math error occurs. I had to replace the _SQRT(2.0) with it's value in random.py) 2. The problem occured on a fresh install, just with the first emerge -ua world on the system. So it seems, that it is not a locale problem. 3. Just tested the memory already more then three hours with memtest86. No errors at all. 4. The computer is running under windows xp without any problem :-(. I still have three different Gentoo-server-systems running. No problems at all (ok, hardware is newer). Only on my home-system ... :-( Any more hints? Is there any loop in installperl, that might cause the problem? Closing a dead bug. |
