Hi, After looking into a problem with Evolution it appears that a few people solved the problem doing an 'emerge -e gnome' so I decided to give that a try. It ran for 4 hours and got to item 104 out of 260 and then failed because for some reason portage wasn't smart about the alsa-driver and 2.6 kernels:
>>> emerge (104 of 260) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) alsa-driver-1.0.8.tar.bz2 * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options * ALSA is already compiled into the kernel. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. !!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8 failed. !!! Function check_extra_config, Line 439, Exitcode 0 !!! Incorrect kernel configuration options !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Why does portage do this? Anyway, if I have to restart this is there a way to pick up from here? How can I start emerge -e gnome with item #105 (whatever that might be) and not lose 4 hours of work? Thanks, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
