| Thanks. The .iso I dl'd today does not have any fb settings in grub. So I'll just add the no parameter and see what happens. |

You get an error message at 'make bzimage' point? What is that error?

Don't put yourself down 
Post your exact error, and post your procedures for building the kernel.
-----
# emerge archck-sources
# rm /usr/src/linux
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.X-archckx /usr/src/linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig (Load the CONRAD-Config file, or configure manually)
# make && make modules_install && make install
------
Hopefully it's something simple.

damn that archck kernel config u have is huge, and i disabled some stuff i didnt needed, but i guess a lot of other shit are still there i see a lot of Modules
anyways this installation process was more fun than the others .. guide is very easy to follow 
now I'm getting when emerging splashutils and splash-themes-gentoo
Unpacking klibc-1.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/klibc-1.1./work *It does not look like your cross-compiler is setup properly! .. ERROR : dev-libs/klibc-1.1 failed. Fuction src_unpack Line 67 Exitcode 0 .
CHOST= i686-pc-linux-gnu
I Looked at my usr and I Only found i386-pc-linux-gnu not i686

hello, currently doing a test install on an Xp box i have but was wondering if it is possible to convert existing system to this setup bu rebuilding everything?
i know i should just do fresh install but have duron 1100 with everything configured so would not want to go through that all gain but could leave it on rebuilding system for as long as required.
cheers

RobNYC, which architecture did you install as? Check make.conf to make sure it is, CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu, and NOT i386 - it installs from the x86 tarballs, which by default, use i386, but in the installation it is changed before it builds the toolkit and system to the appropriate make.conf for your architecture.

carpman, It is possible, do the following.
| Code: | # wget bfgraphics.net/conrad/0.5.0/athlon-xp/conrad-install-athlon-xp-part2.sh
# chmod +x conrad-install*
# mv conrad-install* /
# cd /
# nano conrad-install-*
Find the part where it says, emerge -e system, change it to emerge -e world.
then execute the script
# ./conrad-install*
Then it should execute everything, and the entire world will be the most up-to-date packages compiled by GCC4, and GCC4 will be the default compiler.
|
For the reiser4 FileSystem - You will have to copy all your files to a seperate partition, run mkfs.reiser4 /dev/hdx on the conrad install livecd, then copy everything back over, chroot, and re-install grub "grub" or "grub-install" command
Also if you copy your partition to a reiser4 one, you will need reiser4 in the kernel.
By getting a vanilla kernel and applying the reiser4 patch, or downloading a patchset, archck,acid,nitro,dark,love, etc

I'm sure you can do it by chrooting. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be possible.

I did checked. I'm gonna re-do anyhow. cuz i did follow everything, etc . then i was up to the splashutils step and later on got that prob

I haven't tested qemu - I know you can install it with vmware.
by chroot is strongly not reccomended, you may get compiler errors, and it's way faster to migrate to gcc 4 after booting.
Is there any particular reason you want to do it from chroot? you basically setup a basic bootable system, and once booted you migrate to the new compiler.
----
As I said, you can TRY from a chroot, but in my experience, installing from the chroot on the livecd will start giving you the following errors, on system packages like GROFF
Error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
Which happens offen when people upgrade their compilers to anything new, there are various reasons to this, however, I have not found the fix for this error in the chroot, it is just something not meant to be.
However, I find it better and way quicker (less ram-consuming) to do it as shown in the guide.

After I Finished doing script 1 it says..
DOne!
DEleting Stage3 Tarball and Portage Tarball...
Done!
Copying Mounts,mounting proc, and chrooting
When done, execute second script
mount: none already mounted or /mnt/gentoo/proc busy
mount: according to mtab, none is laready mounted on /mnt/gentoo/proc

by the way the conrad-livecd make.conf is i386-pc-linux-gnu, the pentium3 make.conf i got and mv is i686-pc-linux-gnu
when I'm emerging the archck-sources it says..
Adjusting permissions on ccache in /var/tmp/ccache
!!! Cannot create log.... No write access / Does not exist
!!! PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage
!!! Cannot create log... No write access / Does not exist
!!! PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage
but it goes on well though

Think you have some errors in guide?
The partiton layout/reference is not consistant:
In this section hd3 is / and reiser4
| Code: |
4.3 - Creating your partitons - Reiser4 for root, ext2 for boot, swap for swap
Code:
# mkfs.reiser4 /dev/hda3
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1
# mkswap /dev/hda2
# swapon /dev/hda2
|
In this section you are mounting hda3 (reiser4) as /boot which should be hda1 and ext2?
| Code: |
9.4 - Emerging Grub
(Very soon, I will change to how to install grub 0.97 with reiser4 support/splash, and setup the /boot/grub directory and inject grub-0.97 to tell portage it's installed)
Code:
# mount /dev/hda3 /boot
# echo sys-boot/grub ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge grub
|
In tis section you are again mounting hda3 as /boot
| Code: |
12.3 - Configuring FSTAB
Code:
# nano /etc/fstab
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/hda3 /boot ext2 noauto,notail 1 2
/dev/hda1 / reiser4 notail 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0
|
If i am correct and havenot missed someting then the grub setup also is wrong.
Also with kernel the method you use to build kernel installs it in boot as:
| Code: |
vmlinuz-2.6.14-archck1
|
but in grub you ref:
| Code: |
kernel-2.6.14-archck1
|
not big stuff but may cause confusion.

Once again .. i'm done with kernel, this time seems it took a lil longer but I even pretty much configured it manually well i used your config and then i checked .. done!
next i looked at /usr and i only saw i386 not i686 once again ... and im doing emerge splashutils splash-themes-gentoo
!!! Cannot create log.... No write access / Does not exist
!!! PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage
!!! Cannot create log... No write access / Does not exist
!!! PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portag
and in all my emerges that keeps showing
and once again the error of my cross-compiler

if your using the gentoo live vd your not going to be able to read or write in reiser4, you need a live cd with a kernel patch for reiser4 |

Carpman, I fixed that and added to install grub when /boot is on root, and when you have a seperate boot partition
Sorry, I don't use a boot partition :-p
RobNYC, Sorry about that error, mkdir -p /var/log/portage is the correct fix, I added after downloading the new make.conf about making appropriate overlay and log directories.
------
Edit * The conrad website is going up in a few hours, you can read the emotional story about why we used the name and logo of Conrad, on the "About"
And you can read about various other conrad gentoo projects, I wil post back when it is up

ok. i was gonna try the i686 instead of pentium3
but anyhow just ring me when is up so i can go ahead .. please review this guide to make sure its complete like somebody found some leaks
