Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble installing Gentoo in a Virtual Box VM for testing. It is a x86_64 guest. I selected a hardened profile to test PaX, which means I selected 18 in 'eselect profile'.
I'm at "Configuring the Linux kernel" in the Handbook (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Alternative:_Using_genkernel). The part "emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" seems OK and does not report errors. The genkernel part fails. The specific error is: $ LICENSE_ACCEPT="*" emerge --ask --autounmask-write sys-kernel/genkernel 2>&1 | tee kernel.txt $ cat kernel.txt * IMPORTANT: 6 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating. Calculating dependencies * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files. ... done!

Here is the part about package.license: This will allow ACCEPT_LICENSE (see make.conf(5)) to be augmented for a single package. Format: - comment lines begin with # (no inline comments) - one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional licenses or groups Removing LICENSE_ACCEPT="*" and --autounmask-write does not help. The information provided in portage(5) and package.license leaves a lot to be desired. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
