 |
|
Ok... so I'm at the point where I need to install my kernel. I type in "emerge gentoo-sources" (like the handbook says to do) and I get a list of 14 choices.
1. Which one do I choose, does it matter and why?
2. HOW do I "choose" it?
3. How do I install it using emerge?
The handbook is as clear as mud on this!
The next thing it says for me to do is "ls -l /usr/src/linux" which doesn't work because there is no file or directory. That's just super now isn't it?

That doesn't sound right. Please post the output you're getting when typing "emerge gentoo-sources". Note that although there are currently 14 versions of gentoo-sources in Portage, | Code: | mercury ~ # equery list -p -e gentoo-sources
[ Searching for package 'gentoo-sources' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
* Portage tree (/usr/portage)

mercury ~ # |
when you type "emerge gentoo-sources", only one is chosen: | Code: | mercury ~ # emerge gentoo-sources
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

which is the latest version that isn't masked. That's why I need to see the actual output. Something screwy's going on.

Here we go:

perhaps I need to add a USE command?
I did have a Portage update message come up and I got the latest one. It said 4 files needed to be updated after the new Portage was installed. I believe I updated those 4 files correctly.

add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" or `amd64" depending on which stage u downloaded.
and put that in /etc/make.conf

That won't help. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is set by your profile.
However, it looks like your profile symlink (/etc/make.profile) is either invalid or non-existant. Can you please give us the output of "readlink /etc/make.profile" and "emerge --info" |

Okay, you've missed (or made a mistake in) a step in the handbook under 6.b. Configuring Portage. Your profile symlink is missing or invalid: it says so right on your screen. See "Code Listing 2.3: Changing profiles.". Make a proper symlink to an appropriate profile and you should be able to proceed.
