The boostrap worked fine until during compilation of glibc a command .././scripts/mkinstalldirs stoped with (yes!): FATAL: kernel too old. An strace of the chroot command ends with the uname function call yielding the above results and returning 0. Then, the message is output and exit is called. Google did not give me any hints.

The solution is to use a newer gentoo boot cd. -- - Mark Shields

It means your running kernel is too old for the version of glibc in your chroot. Either upgrade your kernel or downgrade glibc in the chroot. You can probably do the latter by downloading an older stage3 e.g. 2006.0 (or possibly 2005.x...). -- Bo Andresen pgpd2fzBKzxCy.pgp Description: PGP signature
