This sounds like you either missed the following from Step 8: # tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-yyyymmdd.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr or something went wrong with the stage3 tarball extraction and your missing a symlink at /etc/make.profile. After chroot'ing, check with "ls -l /etc/make.profile" and if it's missing (or different) fix it with: # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4 /etc/make.profile Hope this helps.
