Based on that, I think I'll stay away from the -9999's then. I was able to get 2.0.6.916 working with either of two work arounds, so heading off to git land for this is a bit more fun than I'm allowed to have... > On the /usr/src issue I would like to ask you to file a bug for it. > Copy-pasting from your original mail should be fine. Thanks for > bringing it up. Opened: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374297 Just for laughs (I've been told I have an odd sense of humor...), I went back and ran installcd-stage1 with gentoo-sources included (cleaned everything up from installcd-stage[12] first of course), and removed the mkdir I added in kmerge.sh. Worked fine as long as source was in installcd-stage1, so I've amended my bug report to reflect that. Also included the one-liner patch to make it work without source in installcd-stage1. One more minor thing I ran into: /usr/lib64/catalyst/targets/support/create-iso.sh: line 233: mkdosfs: command not found mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so `emerge sys-fs/dosfstools` of course fixed that right up. Is that something I should open against Catalyst itself in "Gentoo Hosted Projects," or does that go to "Gentoo Linux" for the ebuild? I've got a nice little ISO file built now. Time to throw a VM at it and see how much of a mess I've made of things... Thanks also for the pointer about udev. Anything that saves me a wild goose chase is always appreciated.
