Hi all, I'm having a problem. I had Gentoo installed on my laptop. I hadn't updated in in some time, so attempted to do that. I kept getting an error message - something about glibc and compatibility. I couldn't resolve it, so decided to start from scratch - no big problem, since I like doing stuff like this.
So, I did a Stage 3 install, like I've done on this laptop twice before. I used the same use flags in my make.conf as I always do. I got to the point where I chroot'd and started the kernel compile. The compile starts and then, the laptop shuts off on me. On initial start with the Stage 3 install CD, I started using 'gentoo dopcmcia nolvm2 agpgart acpi=on', but I also tried without the acpi=on parameter. The very first time I installed Gentoo on the laptop, the laptop was overheating on builds until I configured power management. However, this was after the initial installation when I was actually booted into my system. On the initial kernel compile in the chroot'd environment, I had no problem on the first two installs. In the situation that I am now describing, when the laptop shuts down on the kernel build in the chroot'd environment, the laptop isn't any hotter than when it is running normally. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I did not use nptl or nptlonly in my use flags, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. The kernel that I am trying to compile is the latest genkernel that is in the stable tree. Oh yeah! I also tried the live CD and it bombed on the kernel compile too, but the laptop didn't shut off. Anyway, I hope this is understandable. Any ideas or suggestions? Regards, Colleen. -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org -- [email protected] mailing list
