Hello:
I used the Athlon XP v1.4 (dated 9/11) Live CD disk 1 to do a Stage 3
install of Gentoo. Everything *seemed* to go okay, until reboot, when
Grub couldn't find the kernel.
I used the Live CD as a rescue disk, looked at my install drive, and, sure enough, no kernel was installed! Also, the /lib/modules directory tree was empty.
Now, I'm not (completely) crazy; I specifically remember (during the
initial install) doing an "emerge -k sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" then a
"emerge -k genkernel" and finally running "genkernel --config". I
made a few minor configuration changes to the kernel (mostly removing
unneeded modules), then waited while it built bzImage, modules, did a
make modules_install, etc. It took a while, so *something* was going
on :) Unfortunately, I don't remember if it exited with an error code
(I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that though).

I'm trying to build the "nvidia-kernel" modules, but when I do this, I
get the following error:
(snip)
In file included from nv.c:14: nv-linux.h:24:31: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory nv.c: In function `cleanup_module': nv.c:861: warning: unused variable `i' make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
And it's true, I don't have a /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h file.
Basically, it looks like you didnt do the symlink from your kernel source to /usr/src/linux .
xmms also fails:
>>> emerge (40 of 54) media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r20 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) xmms-1.2.7.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking xmms-1.2.7.tar.gz to >>> /var/tmp/portage/xmms-1.2.7-r20/work * Applying xmms-jump.patch... [ ok ] * Applying xmms-sigterm.patch... [ ok ]

!!! ERROR: media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r20 failed. !!! Function epatch, Line 182, Exitcode 0 !!! Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!
This i dont know. try emerge sync'ing again and see if the problem still exists.
