I installed Gentoo 1.4 from Pentium3 Live CDs last night on my new laptop (yeehaa!) and I think I found a bug. After GRP install was done, I wanted to update the whole system. I connected to the internet, made an 'emerge sync' and 'emerge -upv world' to see what's new. Portage told me, that there is a new version and that I should upgrade it first. So I did 'emerge -upv portage'. It showed me some dependencies (e.g. a newer version of baselayout) and I started the upgrade 'emerge -uv portage'. After a while of compiling, emerge stopped with an error (I think it was at the point of installing the new baselayout .. but I'm not sure). It said something like "Could not write to /proc". I looked at my fstab and it says that /proc is mounted ro (take from the default-fstab extracted from the stage3-tarball). Then I remembered that there was an fstab-update some time ago when I was upgrading another system. I checked the other system's fstab and right, there it's mounted with option 'default'. Changed my fstab, rebooted (some errors - maybe because of a corrupted baselayout) and restarted 'emerge baselayout' and then 'emerge -uv world'. This time it went through without errors. Long text - short question: Is this a bug ? I think there should be a notice to update /proc in fstab before updating a fresh 1.4 Live CD install, right? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Stage3 install from 1.4 Live CD (Pentium 3) 2.Reboot 3.emerge sync 4.emerge -uv portage Actual Results: emerge failed because of ro-mounted /proc. Expected Results: Give the user a notice to update fstab so that /proc is mounted with option default. I installed Gentoo on the following system (although I do not think it is important for this bug): Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop Pentium M 1.4GHz 512MB RAM nVidia FX Go5200 Broadcom Lan Dell Truemobile 1300 WLAN
