Hi, Ok devs, don't kill me. I know, this is a local problem. I don't have a /usr/src/linux link. Well, if I set the link to an old kernel sourcetree with .config, everything works fine. 12-r4 works witout a linux link.

Looks like a portage bug
post your .config as an attachment
well, I have an empty /usr/src. So there is no .config If I have a configured source tree in /usr/src/linux, everything works find.
You are saying you had a completely empty /usr/src when installing these sources? There appear to be numerous places where this call would fail without that directory... def ExtractKernelVersion(base_dir): lines = [] pathname = os.path.join(base_dir, 'Makefile') try: f = open(pathname, 'r') except OSError, details: return (None, str(details)) except IOError, details: return (None, str(details)) If you have no ${ROOT}/usr/src/linux/Makefile the call returns false, so you needed to have one of those, or Python is returning the wrong exception ( doubtful, but who knows ).
do: rm /usr/src/linux emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6 I'm sure, this will trigger this bug.
I cannot reproduce this, the merge finishes fine. There must be something odd on your machine, have you checked the filesystem that '/usr' is mounted on?
I had a max mount count 2 Days before. But my system crashed, and I switched to suse. I had inconsistences in /var/db a several times.
the inconsistancies in /var/db/pkg I'd wonder about also...
Obviously your system was having issues at the time, I can't really begin to blame portage for this when these issues are present. You said there were /var/db/pkg issues, and too many mount issues, and the code looks solid at first and second glance. If you can reproduce the issue please re-open.
