Hello,
I got 2xAlphaserver ES45 with 2x1GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 36GB HDD, 2x fibrechannel card, fibre ethernet and some AGP ATi card.
One of them have some problem with detecting memory, so I take it apart and made only 1 but with 4xCPU, 4GB 4-way RAM, 2x 36GB HDD.
I booted latest install-alpha-minimal-20121103.iso (kernel gentoo_nolsa)
But during boot I got few errors
| Code: |
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/run': file exist
failed to create needed directory /var/run
ERROR: bootmisc failed to start
|
I solved this deleting /var/run and mounting it to tmpfs
Next error was
| Code: |
Error creating persistent state file: filename='/var/lib/misc/syslog-ng.persist-', error='No such file or directory (2)'
|
Cause of this failed syslog-ng - runs OK after mounting /var/run and creating /var/lib/misc directory
Next error I got was when starting sshd
| Code: |
ssh-keygen: symbol lookup error: ssh-keygen: undefined symbol: EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name
|
From what I googled up there is some bug and I'm unable to fix this on Minimal install CD
Last what holds me back is that I'm unable to build kernel
make.conf
| Code: |
CFLAGS="-mieee -pipe -O2 -mcpu=ev67"
MAKEOPTS="-j4"
|
I gets this error: (sorry for photo but ssh wont work and it's too long for retyping)

Edit: Found that kernel compilation error could be a problem with size of kernel., but everything is stripped out or made as modules. Searching for -mlarge-text and -mlarge-data option
How will be performance affected when using this options?
Thanks for any help!
