Yo-kayyyy, I think I have the oddest install muck-up I've ever seen.

Booting into my fresh install simply hangs at "Mounting proc at /proc".

I am at. A complete. And total. Loss.

I've installed Gentoo x-hundred times. Never seen this.

Any ideas? 8O 8O 8O

No keyboard - everything freezes. All I can do is hold down the power button to turn it off or reboot.

Anything interesting in logs after lockup and boot from CD?

I have grub.conf and fstab set to use /dev/sda. When I changed fstab to use hda, it went a little further but stopped at "waiting for uevents".

There don't appear to be any relevant logs in /var/log.

Gonna try the install again.

Fail!

My system still hangs at "Waiting for uevents to be processed..."

I would really appreciate any advice! :cry:

Maybe you are missing a kernel option.
What does grep '^[^#].*PROC_' /usr/src/linux/.config return?

I found this:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=230807

So I'm seeing what happens if I upgrade udev (and maybe world while I'm at it) while chrooted.

I'll check that command when the current emerge in chroot is done.

If those are back ticks, I get a command not found. If those are single quotes, nothing happens and I have to hit ctrl-c.

It's a no-go on updating udev. It hangs at "mounting proc at /proc".

Guess I'll try a world update in chroot and hope *something* gets fixed.

single quotes, but you don't need them
Code:
grep ^[^#].*PROC /usr/src/linux/.config

or even just this
Code:
grep PROC /usr/src/linux/.config| grep -v \#


Here is what I get
Code:
# grep ^[^#].*PROC /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y
CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR=y
CONFIG_KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS=y


I think these are the important ones
Code:
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y
CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR=y

Thanks for clarifying. I tried again and I got the important ones and a bunch of others.

Trying the world update now. It looks like baselayout2 and openrc come in, as well as coreutils, gcc and other stuff. Then I'll switch over to the new gcc and run python-updater and try to boot into it again.

you run ~amd? and it brings in baselayout2??
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml may merit attention.

No, ~x86.

I'm filing a bug. It now hangs at "mounting /dev...".

There is this that you could try

I rather think it would be in the stage3.

With nothing to lose, gonna give the stage3 from funtoo a try. 8)

Do I need to start the install over, or can I simply unpack the file?

backup your /var/lib/portage/world file

you can unpack the stage3 file on /

restore the world file

then you still need to edit the configs: fstab, hosts, hostname, locale.gen, make.conf, resolv.conf, and so on... all of them

and
    emerge -e world
    perl-cleaner all
    eselect python set python2.6
    python-updater
    etc-update
    emerge -1 libtool

Thanks! I'll keep that info handy. In the meantime, since this is a fresh install, I'll just do it over but use the funtoo stage3.

And yeah, it wasn't the sources, but just trying to troubleshoot...

Thanks, Mike, for the stage3 funtoo suggestion. There must be something wrong with the current official stage3 because this one worked! :D

Yep. If there IS something wrong, I hope the devs look into it. I did file a bug and pointed them to this thread.
