Well it probably depends on what, but I just tried going with adding =sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2-r2 ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords, and bootstrap picked up on it , still didn't get through, but it should be working

As for the spell check, Sure Mate! :D
Also Simba7, thanks for all your support, the system is working perfectly now.
I am writting this guide to help people set it up, and there is going to be an compression section. Actually there is going to be a section for every plugin I found.
Hope to get it ...

Hello.
I am writting the wiki guide to reiser4 now, so you can check it out here http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Reiser4

Yeah the box is up and running. I am going to make a wiki entry for this anyway. But just a question, did you configure the kernel by hand?
If yes, make sure your device drivers are ok, and "sata" don't use ATAPI. Atleast this is what helped me. Also, check the kernel-hacking, for "use 4 Kb stacks ...

Nice thread, I thought I'm gonna join the party!

I've been into linux for almost 6 years now, been drifting around the distros like a mad man, every 1-2 days had a new distro on my PC.
Well, app 5 years ago I came to Gentoo. I still tried some other flavours (curse me for that :D) and allways did ...

Hey folks!

I just did a stage1 install on one of my PC's (acting now as a server :D).
It's pretty easy and straightforward:

1)Follow the gentoo handbook, until you reach the chapter about the kernel.
2) do:
-: cd /usr/portage/scripts
-: ./bootstrap.sh (or "sh boostrap.sh")
3)do:
-: emerge -e ...

Hey folks!
sorry for not updating much, but I had no time :D
so, yesterday night I went and compiled the kernel, it's working (atleast it booted).
System seems to be fairly stable too, there is just one more problem I run into.

today when I woke up I looked at the system, to see a kernel-panic ...

yes, I am chrooted

EDIT: Ok, I patched the 2.6.27-r5 kernel by hand (not really a big deal )
Gonna try to get it to work tday or tommorow.

hmm, can anyone tell me what is wrong with this? I downloaded the ebouild placed it in /usr/portage/sys-kernel/reiser4-gentoo-sources/
tried "ebuild reiser... digest" and got this:

sysresccd reiser4-gentoo-sources # ebuild reiser4-gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r5.ebuild digest
: command not foundrnel ...

Since I never did an overlay, can someone just post me what I have to do to get the "right" overlay?

Sorry once again, It's been a time since I installed a system :D
Also when I was looking around I didn't need any overlays, actually at that time they didn't even exist (atleast not in these way) :D ...

Thanks a bunch mate!
It's nice to see that people ARE still experimenting around here :D

It's been a year since I had gentoo on any of my machines, but once one is here, it is impossible to leave :D

Anyway, doing bootstrap ATM (got a corrupted filesystem, doing things now with the SysRescCD).

So ...

Hmm, ok...seems that I found the problem...
the install CD I used had some outdated reiser4 tools + I did the patch myslelf...
so I just ended with a corrupt filesystem... damn that is crazy....
but anyway...I downloaded the SysstemRescueCD and am going to do a new install, can you do me a favour ...

nope, not really....Stage 1 is officially not supported anymore, it's still there, and actually it is just as fresh as it can be, since you compile the whole system...and if you do an emerge --sync before that... :D

Also, I tried to mount /boot as root now, and it breaks in the same way...assuming ...

boot config:
BOOTLOADER: LILO

LILO.CONF:
boot=/dev/sda
prompt
lba32
timeout=50
default=gentoo

image=/boot/Kernel-2.6
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/sda2

DMESG (atleast as much as I can copy/paste from putty):
[ 0.964747] Freeing initrd memory: 5666k freed
[ 0.965023] Simple Boot Flag at 0x3a ...

Hey folks!

I'm working on a test box here, and wanted to use reiser4 for the FS.
Did a stage1 install without any problem, then merged gentoo-sources 2.6.27-r4, patched that with the patch from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/edward/reiser4/reiser4-for-2.6/
I have reiser4progs merged ...

Hi all, thx for your time!
Well, I got a some (I guess total beginners) problem here.It's wierd, when I want to start a .exe file I get this:

LostSoul hawk # cedega /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/Point2Play_gui.py", line 2668, in ...

I maybe found something, The Ultimate Boot CD, sounds like the progs on it, could fix my problems.

I´ll give it a try

Hmmmm, which FS format you got on that partition?
Got the Partition FS loaded though the Kernel?

Hi,
As the titel shows, I accidently deleted a ReiserFS partiton, or to say it correctly 2. of them.....
My Configuration is:
40 GB ---> Entirely for Linux (Gentoo), its all ReiserFS
200 GB ---> For Videos, Music, etc.

I deleted the 200 GB Disk, it was like that:
/dev/hdb1 ----> 200 GB Extended ...

OK, I solved That Problem MySelf,
If it interests someone how I did that:
I just emerged the NEW ATI drivers 8.10.x
it works all....dunno, thx all anyway

maybe you should try this side, since I dont have this graphics card Im not sure to tell you what to do.Link: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/rchau/top.html
But I read something...It was for the /etc/make.conf
......cant find it anywhere, sorrrrrry....I just know it was something like:
GRAPHICS_CARD ...

Maybe I can help you,
Ive got an:
ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB
1. Did you install/emerge the ati-drivers?
2.Did you emerge them with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"?
-Thats for the new versions, experimental status.
3. If you done that, login as root and make fglrxconfig.....answer the questions
then move (mv ...

Yeah,
maybe I got one!
