Hi List, Since a few days i'm trying to install gentoo on a kvm guest from edis.at. They support to boot from a gentoo minimal live-cd in order to install your own gentoo. The system has 5GB storage and 256MB ram. Actually that should be enough for a minimal installation. However, till now i couldn't get over that point where i'm trying to install the kernel sources...
The partition of the hd looks like this right now: 64MB /boot 256MB swap ~4,3GB / Swap is active and i also made sure there are enough inodes on / (i had to raised them). Even though there is enough space and 256mb ram + 256mb swap should be enough ram i can't install (copy) the kernel sources. They just stop suddenly. There is nothing in the build.log. Last view lines are: >>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-ac97.c >>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-pcm.c >>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa-ssp.c >>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-i2s.c However i'll get errors in dmesg and it seems i'll get out of memory while installing: [snip] [63599.551452] emerge invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_score_adj=0 [63599.551466] Pid: 12358, comm: emerge Not tainted 3.8.13-gentoo #1 . . .

From the docs 256MB should be fine so i don't know why it doesn't work? thx mmike
