This is my second Gentoo install, first one was built from scratch from stage 1 without error on a Celeron 733, X, KDE, everything perfect.
This one is on a dual PIII, and I am on my fifth install and its still not working. - First time, built from Stage 1. Got some errors so decided to use the PIII stage3 tarball. - As part of the emerge -u world at the end of the stage3 install instructions, I got "some config files in /etc need to be updated". Figured out that you still need to export $CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" as mentioned is stage 2, but it is not mentioned in stage 3. - Exported $CONFIG_PROTECT, re did emerge -u world, no more errors. However, portage was one of my emerged packages! This means every package *after* portage was built without the benefit of my make.conf! This is silly, emerge should be written to stop after portage at all times and prompt the user to re-edit the new make.conf - started over. This time, did emerge -up world > log and used that log to do the emerges manually one at a time. After I finished portage, I edited make.conf and did an emerge -u world with no errors (27 packages) *BUT* - mount is now all screwed up. Grub was one of the emerged packages, and it is in /boot. Also, a new directory tree exists under /boot, with unending levels of more boot dirs, each with a new copy of grub! SO, I cp the grub dir to /root, rm -r * in /boot, and cp the grub dir back to /boot like it should be. Now if I run mount (in the chrooted environment) I get a bunch of crap about XFS and TMPFS that *was not there before the emerge -u world*. If I open a virt console outside chroot, mount shows what it should show: /dev/hda1 on /mnt/gentoo/boot and /dev/hda2 on /mnt/gentoo can somebody help me here!!!!!!!!!!!!! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
