System bootstraps when I use stage1-ppc-1.4_final.tbz2 I'm guessing the 2004.0 "universal" ppc isin't exactly universal then, since it must have been compiled for either G3s or G4s I was getting similar errors on my system: IBM RS/6000 43p-140. PowerPC 604e@233MHz, 256MB RAM. 9.1 GB SCSI HD. LiveCD 2004.1 I didn't get the error on EVERY package, I could emerge something simple like bzip2, but gcc and python would fail. I wanted to take a look at the assembly being generated, and so I removed -pipe. Guess what? The problem went away. That said, I *am* using a non-devfs kernel I downloaded from somewhere else since the livecd doesn't have a PReP kernel on it. As soon as I can compile my own kernel I'll try -pipe again. CFLAGS="-mcpu=604e -O3" gcc 3.3.2 seems to fix my compiler woes. Don't use gcc 3.3.3 if you are using a 2.4 kernel or your modules will be broken. The livecds and grp were compiled using -mtune=powerpc -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing I know this is a crazy request, but if possible could you guys check out a gcc-3.4 compiler and feed us the results? Closing the bug. |
