Bug 88097 – bootstrap stops at linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

[Description BlinkEye 2005-04-05 15:43:45 UTC]

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.

what a surprise it isn't working, isn't it? i tried to manually copy a working .config to that location while it is patching and building but it stops due to a changing .config.

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.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-04-05 17:26:01 UTC]

multilib bug

[Comment 3 BlinkEye 2005-04-05 22:34:39 UTC]

meaning what?

[Comment 4 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-04-06 03:40:32 UTC]

What stage tarball are you using?  What portage snapshot are you using, or are you using the latest sync?

[Comment 5 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-04-19 10:48:36 UTC]

No response.  Please reopen if you have further information.

[Comment 6 BlinkEye 2005-04-19 10:54:30 UTC]

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
