I installed gentoo on my newly built Haswell PC (i7-4470) using the above stage3, which really helped a lot, so thanks to the OP.

I'm using CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe", no problem in 3 weeks of gentooing.
I'm using default desktop profile with xfce4, firefox. Didn't run in any build problems ...

Strange. Can't complain on my side. I run amd64 desktop stable (-kde) and do weekly emerge --newuse --deep word followed by emerge -av --depclean and revdep-rebuild rebuilt maybe ~20 packages in total in the last 12 months or so. 90% of the time it just reports everything is ok.

....
Then copying the gentoo-source to /usr/src/ would do make menuconfig.

Don't do that. Let portage install the kernel sources. emerge will fetch the 3 archives cach0rr0 posted above and save them into /usr/portage/distfiles. If they are already in /usr/portage/distfiles emerge will not ...

Big problem now, I cant run a gnome session. The only thing I see is a shell. How can I run gnome?

assuming you already set up /etc/rc.conf to use Gnome as the default XSESSION?

startx

but my "a" key, is broken. I can't type "startx" :(

*face palm*

Sorry about that.

I think the GeForce FX 5700 was dropped from the newest nvidia-drivers, you may need to use an older driver version.

Ok, that explains why --depclean just unmerged

x11-apps/xsm
x11-terms/xterm
x11-wm/twm

on my system.
Bye bye twm, I'll miss, you little buddy.

I had some similar problems recently when I compiled XFS into the kernel instead of as modul, yaboot refused to load my kernel, the kernel was to big. Apparently yaboot only supports kernel that don't exceed at certain size (<14.X MB). Thus my first guess would be your kernel has become to big. Did ...

No, that is not NUMA. NUMA is used on much larger boxes. It's very uncommon on anything you would put in a home. I don't know of it being used on any box worth less than, say, $250K. I don't know what that AMD mode thingie is, but it definitely isn't NUMA. Maybe your BIOS settings say something ...

I recently had some problems when coding C which turned out that special characters were inserted in my C code which the compiler didn't like.
When investigating I realized that the characters come from nobreakspaces. Apparently when using shift-space I insert nobreakspaces. After looking around a ...

Hold the horses, I found the problem. You were right, I did something wrong even so I did nothing wrong.
After an unsuccessful try with kernel-2.6.32-gentoo I reinstalled gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r8, applied the patch again and voila, I didn't work. 8O
Now I had two identical kernels with exactly the ...

Can you give me the exact kernel revision you use from unstable then I will try that.

Hm, what did I do wrong?

I think one might contact Benjamin Herrenschmidt, he wrote the thing. I guess if it's two people having this problem already, it might be worth adding two lines of code, if it doesn't break anything for anybody else AND is actually a "fix" and not just masking the problem somehow (I can't claim I ...

Glad it worked.
As I mentioned in my last post, if you want to know more about how to configure mouse and keyboard via hal/evdev, then the sticky thread in the Desktop environment subforum is the best place to look at.

I don't know about the chroot ...

Ok, to switch to nvidia GLX do

eselect opengl set nvidia

Then I see hald is running, that's good. I saw in your make.conf from the last page you don't have the hal USE flag set, if not you should add it to your make.conf and do again.

emerge -uNDav world

EDIT: Especially double-check that your ...

What is the output of eselect opengl list?

opengl should be set to nvidia to use the GLX from the nvidia-drivers.

eselect opengl set nvidia

Then restart X. Hope that solves the GLX errors.

Now to the keyboard mouse problems. There should be a message LoadModule "evdev" in you Xorg.0.log which is ...

The evdev is pretty important, because the new hal config works with evdev.

Make sure that you have this inside your kernel :


Device Drivers
->Input device support
->Event interface


That's all that is needed kernel-wise for evdev to work. If you don't have it, enable it and rebuild ...

As an addition to all the above, don't forget you always have to reinstall nvidia-drivers after upgrading a kernel.

emerge -av nvidia-drivers

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-79 ... yout2.html

Remove the device-mapper script from the corresponding runlevel. It's not needed for baselayout1.

First, I agree that you should first get udev working again, maybe a newer kernel will already achieve that. The other errors may not go away so easily because you have tons of 18 month old outdated packages currently on your system.

As people told you maybe a bazillion times revdep-rebuild will ...

Two things.

1. Did you start hald? (happened to me, without hald evdev doesn't work)

#/etc/init.d/hald start
#startx

2. Have you evdev in your INPUT_DEVICES section of make.conf?
If not add it and emerge -uNDav world

The flags are like switches, options that the package provides.

aflag behind the emerge package means the flag is on.
-aflag means the flag is off.

Looking at you opera line, the current flags that are set in you example are gnome and qt3. All the other flags and the LINGUAS are not set, thus the ...

Also, make sure you run a recent kernel, because from portage log:

* udev-146 does not support Linux kernel before version 2.6.25!
* For a reliable udev, use at least kernel 2.6.27

So you have 267 outdated/missing packages on your system? I call that hardly up-to-date. :P
Why are you running revdep-rebuild???

Well, I already told you that revdep-rebuild is designed to be run on an up-to-date system. Trying to use it at any other time can create a deluge of phantom issues ...

Hm, one problem:

%du -cshx /usr/portage
250M /usr/portage

without distfiles.
