Downloaded stage3-20040117 and portage-20040121. I can emerge any application, except any kernel. Problem seems to be solved by emerging hotplug before emerging kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please provide more Information: - what machine (maybe PCMCIA-Hardware?) - what happens / doesn't happen exactly) - maybe post some output
Sorry, it was late this morning. HW is: Acer Travelmate 313T (p266mmx). Network is on a PCMCIA Card. I booted from Slackware bare.i+install.*+pcmcia.dsk Floppy. Network is functioning, I've downloaded stage3, portage, bzip2, etc. Everything is fine with stage3-20030911 and any portage. With latest experimental stage3 I found problem (used 2 portage - 20040120 and 20040121 - and emerge-webrsync too). If I launch "emerge -k gentoo-source" before emerging hotplug, dependecies check failed. After emerging hotplug I was able to emerge both gentoo-source and gentoo-dev-source. Just now I'm emerging genkernel.
Did you apply any USE-Flags? Please post the output of "emerge info"
I didn't modify any flag. (I'm quite new to Gentoo) Actually notebook is emerging latest package... I will post later more info.
What a shame, kernel ops after reboot... Ok, let's go back to official stage.
Looks like a GRP problem to me (emerge -k). Were you using GRP to install the sources?
Using "-k" is an error: I don't have GPR available, I download and compile everything. BTW, I've abandoned the problem: actually I don't have the time...
closing then ..
