I too get errors trying to bz2 with a file over 2.5 gigs. File intergrity error.

gz is fine though.

I've got a spare HD. I'll try this puppy. With the vesafb option I should be good to go. The other releases using vesa-tng hung my system. Will advise. Thanks.

I just went ahead and reinstalled from scratch and compiled gnome from scratch. Serves me right for trying to take a shortcut. Everything is working as it should be now.

Which desklets did you install? I think the default one is just a starter bar.

well you still have to MOUNT them, just not MKDIR them.

Glad you got it workind. You should post a link to that topic so others can find it easily. Here it is

Make sure your symlink is pointing to the correct kernel sources as well.

I have a soundblaster card as well, Audigy 2zs, and if I run alsaconf from outside of X I get the exact same error as you do.

Just log into X and run alsaconf from the terminal window, it will work fine then. Worked fine that way for me over 3 installs.

Just letting you know this is possible and here is how I did it. Simply:

Follow the instructions for compiling your kernel in the gentoo wiki HOWTO_ATI_DRIVERS. Don't do anything else but compile your kernel.

Then, download the newest ATI drivers and do an automatic install

Add fglrx to your /etc ...

Cool. What is the link to your wiki?

EDIT: Nevermind, followed the link in your signature to the other forum which has a link to your WIKI. THANKS :P

The hard drive the backup is being restored to is a freshly partitioned file system so there is not an existing proc or dev directory. I'll try "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdaX" and see what happens. I guess that clears or formats the drive?

I'll let you know what happens. I just thought the backup ...

This was installed upon a freshly formated hard drive. I had guessed it was due to the my doing a full interactive backup. Since I used fdisk to delete and then re-create the filesystems, those directories should not have existed correct? Does doing the full, interactive backup save those ...

To be on the safe side I am repeating the restore process and will advise. Portgage is syncing right now. :P

EDIT: I noticed before and I'm sure I will again after the portage syncs that these commands:

10. mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc
11. mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
12. mkdir /mnt/gentoo/dev ...

Great script. I had a spare hard drive so figured, why not try it? Script ran perfectly, popped in new drive, followed instructions, seemed smooth till the portgage sync. Looked like it went all the way through however at the end I received this error:

did you enable this as a module in your kernel or built it in?

No one has a clue to help me out? :oops:

EDIT: Since my first post I have had time to totally reinstall Gentoo. Followed the GIH as I did b4 and have the same problem. So I thought, why not copy the i686 to a i386 dir in the /usr/lib/gcc/....

I was emerging totem with xine support and during the xine-lib emerge my cable died out. Now I have internet access again and when I try to re-emerge I get this error on xine-lib:

Thank you very much. Guess I had a mind-freeze.

Not to be a pain but it seems that all I would do is follow the GIH and substitue your stage 3 for gentoo's stage 3? I've done the GIH install on a number of machines so I am comfortable doing this is this is the case. Thanks.

I'd like to try it but I've searched high and low for the 2005.0 install booklet and can't find it anywhere. I've viewed the 2005.1 pdf on your site.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had posted this in the 2005.2 post by mistake. Sorry.

Sweet. ATI owners around the globe thank you. Reiser4 is apparently an FS to be reckoned with and I look foward to trying it. I'm now just on reiserfs so....

THANKS

@Cheater

No reason to appologize. You are DA MAN ! for making this release and the others you plan to do. I am saving a hard drive, or two, just for you and your releases so take your time. I'll be monitoring this forum.

Okay, using vesafb:off does not work.

Whatever kernel options you are using in the LIVECD appear to conflict with ATI cards. When your kernel switches resolution, which seems to be near the point of SMP, this it where is locks up. :(

Is there another .iso we can get with no graphics options ...
