Possibly, you are hitting an issue caused by a feature lacking in that kernel. What did you boot your machine with prior to starting the installation? Please also include the version and URL where you downloaded this from. > I didn't try your advices as I don't now how to try them. How do I > deactivate sandbox? Michael "grimlog" Schreckenbauer actually already told you how to do this: ** If you cannot upgrade your kernel right now, you can disable the sandbox FEATURES="-sandbox" in /etc/make.conf (I do not recommend this) ** The "sandbox" is a security feature. If you disable it to get the install working and a newer kernel-version. Please undo this change after the first boot into the new kernel. > > I tried to search for > "touch: setting times of" gentoo > but I don't understand how this is related to my problem. > > Yahoo reply broken?

A good Email client will allow you to send non-HTML email. Puts "quote" marks in front of the lines and add a "bladibla wrote this" or similar line. It should also allow you to easily put your reply at the bottom of the email. GMail has been mentioned a few times as doing things wrongly. I won't even mention the many ways in which MS Outlook does things badly and Thunderbird wants to be a copy of MS Outlook. > Now I'm at work, but when I will get home I will try your advices.

Using the current live-cd from the gentoo website, I managed to install Gentoo without problem. If you are using an older kernel-version, you are likely using an older live-cd / host-environment. For this, there are usually work- arounds, but it might be an idea to start with a more current live-cd environment. -- Joost ---- Dear Joost, thank you! Indeed this is the problem, my LiveCD is an old one. I'm not at home right now but I can bet it will work if I will create a new LiveCD. I haven't take that into consideration as I thought that it won't be a problem since I download the kernel. Anyway, thanks! I will send a new email in the this evening with solved.
