Running the smp 2.6 kernel on a non-smp system (2.4 kernel panicked): I was following the quick installation guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml Arriving at step " env-update; source /etc/profile " it turns out that env-update fails with the following error: !!! Invalid token (not "=") is !!! ParseError: Invalid token (not '='): /etc/make.conf: line 6 !!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them. Looking at /etc/make.conf it shows: # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" Netselect is currently unable to handle ipv6, changing to Deep Test Problem obviously is in the last line. I just commented out the line and continued, hope this won't come back to haunt me in the future. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. The default 2.4 gentoo kernel did produce a kernel panic. I'm using smp 2.6 kernel now, even though I don't have an smp system. 2. Following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml, no other problems before this step. 3. P3 Celeron 600, 512 MB, Ethernet card, sound card, ATI 9600.
