 Ehh, this very well could be causing you all kinds of problems.

I have now tried running catalyst-2.0.5 natively from my amd64 system
(i.e. no chroot) and I still got the same error. Even with the latest
genkernel.

I emerged 2.0.6_pre9, but it crashed during action sequence clean on
livecd-stage1, complaining about that the chroot's kerncache directory
couldn't be deleted. I might file a bug for this later if I get time,
it's just that I'm really pressed getting catalyst to actually build an
iso as I have a release schedule...

You must have a really weird setup. Again, as part of the release cycle, many of 
us have been testing the latest versions of catalyst and genkernel, and we have 
not hit this issue, either. Kerncache has been functioning beautifully for me.

Re: [gentoo-catalyst] Build stage4 ssmtp conflicts with postfix.

 This is a portage bug and has nothing to do with catalyst. You'd encounter 
 this 
 same problem when emerging the same packages in a stage3 chroot.

No, it is a portage feature.  You cannot install two packages which
block each other.  If you want postfix in your stage4, build a set of
lower stages (you should *always* do this, anyway) with your
customizations (like virtual/mta being postfix) and then rebuild your
stage4.

The bug I was referring to was that portage will show a blocker when you do 
something like 'emerge vixie-cron postfix', even though postfix satisfies the 
virtual/mta that vixie-cron RDEPENDs on.


Like Chris said, the only way around this is to change the default provider for 
virtual/mta in the profile you're using in your snapshot.

Hi,

I'm new here but I have a little experience building livecd.

Today I completed a customized livecd successfully, using:
genkernel-3.4.10_pre3
catalyst-2.0.6_pre9
I use ~x86 

Before I had some problems with genkernel, but those bugs are solved in
the new releases.

Cheers,
István
