 |
|
I just did a successful install and wanted to note some things where I needed to deviate from the guide to get things to install.
1) I booted off the standard Gentoo 2008.0 minimal X86_64 CD, so tar doesn't support lzma. I downloaded the portage-latest.bz2 instead
2) As of 29 Dec 2008, the funtoo stage3 64-bit tarball has udev configured in a way incompatible with this install. The result is (sometimes) a nonworking console keyboard and all kinds of initd restarting too frequently messages (and a /dev directory that is minimal and dysfucntional).
The fix is, before rebooting, to:
| Code: |
rc-update del udevd sysinit
rc-update add udev sysinit
|
The result should be the following udev scripts in /etc/runlevels:
| Code: |
# ls -l /etc/runlevels/*/*udev*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec 30 10:42 /etc/runlevels/boot/udev-postmount -> /etc/init.d/udev-postmount
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 30 10:42 /etc/runlevels/shutdown/udev-save -> /etc/init.d/udev-save
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 30 18:29 /etc/runlevels/sysinit/udev -> /etc/init.d/udev
|
3) In setting up paludis, I needed to do things in a slightly different order than the guide suggests. Also, the guide does not specify when in the process the portage2paludis.bash script should be run. The order that worked for me was
| Quote: |
(1) Downloading the portage2paludis script
(2) Making directories for paludis
(3) Emerging paludis
(4) Using chown to change ownership to paludisbuild > portage
(5) Run portage2paludis.bash
(6) Syncing paludis
(7) Regenerating cache
(8)paludis -i dev-util/git subversion cvs mercurial
(9) Configuring paludis
|
Also, to rebuild world and to get X, qt-gui, and kde to build, I had to add some USE flags to /etc/paludis/use.conf. Resuming was no problem, by cutting and pasting the paludis resume command into a script and running the script once the USE flags were updated.
All in all an excellent guide--the best I've found so far. Thanks for all your hard work, and for sharing the results!

| Ah, thanks jeans, I just ran into that udev issue. Your suggestion worked perfectly. |

Need the build error, that tells me nothing.

It really isn't supposed to be in environment.conf, but in the actual environment itself.
Either /etc/env.d , ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, etc

I'm installing new machine right now and I think section 5.1 could be improved a bit by changing URLs to symlinks to up to date files. For amd64 it would be http://www.funtoo.org/linux/funtoo/~amd64/stage3-~amd64-current.tar.bz2. Also for unpacking I prefer this one-liner | Code: | | curl http://www.funtoo.org/linux/funtoo/~amd64/stage3-~amd64-current.tar.bz2 | tar jxvp -C /mnt/gentoo |
In 8.3 paludis -i --dl-reinstall if-use-changed should be sufficient. |

I can pretty much promise you.. this project is dead.
Cheater and I have lives.. we no longer really have time for this project..
Gentoo is not my style anymore..
But I think most of you can see that, since there's not been a new release in almost a year.
Have fun all.
