2005-09-23 Thread Chuck
ok i am firmly convinced never to touch cpan in guests. ever. it not only blows up every time as mentioned in earlier messages but it then proceeds to leave a file in the root directory of the guest that is unremovably linked to /sys. i spent hours searching google and the gentoo support forums

Hi, Does anyone has any experience running Vserver on a Gentoo AMD64 system? Gentoo advices one to only use the "gentoo-sources" kernel on AMD64, because of some AMD64 patches. My install uses the "vserver-sources" kernel, but my system definately have some troubles with oopses and processes gett

Hi Chuck, You need to run emerge metadata && eupdatedb I do not entirely understand what's going on but the index for portage is out of whack. I have the same problem whenever I esync my portage (I have the portage tree on a separate partition and share it on several vservers). After the esync r
