| Pentium-M support appears to have been added between stable gcc and gcc3.4, thanks for pointing me in the right direction |

I finished this install method with complete success a little over a week ago as far as I remember, just had to come back and share the success I "definately" could not have with you.
Kimchi_sg
You will be shocked to hear that not only did I complete this installation method using genkernel, but my system runs great. And I did run into that perl bug stopping emerge -e system from completing. And somehow, even though I don't compile my own kernel, I manage to fix that without any trouble, manually editing the file which had references to previous kernel versions, commenting out 3 lines did the trick. After what you said about genkernel users being inept fixing that perl bug made me feel like a super genius. |

Let me know what you think |
hmmm. there have been lots of reports of problems with the glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1 ebuild. did you try compiling an older version of glibc as you had thought about doing? to do that, you could just make the glibc line in package.keywords look like this:
| Code: | | =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20050125 |
that would force your system to use the version of glibc that is currently the penultimate version of glibc in the portage tree. its the equivalent of adding the current -r1 version to the masking file.
just a thought...
btw, if i were working on that box right now, i'd set the makeopts value to j3.

I have another problem. This time I did read through the thread and did a search to see if anything came up. I'm sorry for my previous post. :/
I'm at the part where you have to cd /usr/src/linux. When I do this it says that there is no such file or directory. However, if I do ls /usr/src/linux, it says it is there, and if I do mkdir /usr/src/linux, it says that the file already exists. Gentoo seems to be contradicting itself here, and I'm not sure what I should do.

Apparently, not enough of a "genius" to know your own hardware. Or simply to write down the output of lspci and lsmod and use these to make a kernel. 
So the score is still kimchi_sg 1, kamisama 0

You don't have an actual /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r2 directory.
Do an and see what is the actual kernel source directory.
One of the lines in the output should look similar to the following (XX and Y are numbers).
| Code: | | drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1248 Mar 21 09:00 linux-2.6.XX-gentoo-rY |
Then based on the about output, remove the broken /usr/src/linux symlink and create a new one to the actual kernel directory that you have.
| Code: | rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.XX-gentoo-rY /usr/src/linux |
Remember, XX and Y are to be replaced with the actual numbers based on the "ls" output. |

What exactly do the dnsdomainname and nis.domainname settings do? Also, what does the hostname do? I semi understand that the hostname is what the comp will appear as on the network. I have a router with DHCP, and I can ping google.com, I'm just wondering why I have to set the dnsdomainname when I already have set my DNS servers in the resolv.conf file? Should I even worry about setting these?

Come on... here we just need to write the output of a command on a piece of paper then read it back when doing the kernel config.

Actually, you can skip the dns and nis domain name setup. Not the hostname though.
But if your ISP does not assign you a domain name via DNS, it will be set to something ugly like "localdomain", which is the reason you should set one. NIS domain name is purely unnecessary if you do not know what NIS is. |

I didn't know we were keeping score.
And if we are I'm curious as to how I'm the one with the working gentoo system you said I would "Definately" never have.
"Go back to the standard installation handbook"
If thats what gentoo users have to say to people to score points than I'd rather not score any. |

the only thing different this time is i'm building this on a P4 but targeting a via 586 class chip (with mmx and 3dnow) and i guess that could be the cause since a P4 does not support 3dnow but rather sse. only reason i didn't immediately suspect that was it compiled linux26-headers, gcc-config, glibc and binutils just fine before it blew up doing gcc itself.

i'm going to try doing the install on the target machine itself to see if it makes any difference, but it might take awhile as its a 800MHz via ezra.
btw my other 1-on-3s are working great and fast as hell!
[SOLVED]
OK, i tried doing the install on the actual machine instead of a compile-surrogate P4 and it worked fine.... started it last night and now its successfully completed step 7.1! took a lot longer, but it worked.

building on one machine for a totally different architecture isn't covered in the guide, so i'm going to have to give you an answer of "unsupported." actually, this flag is so wildly deviant from the Guide that i should give you a penalty flag on this one.
your flags are wrong if that's what you're trying to accomplish. this question really deserves its own thread.

I don't know if the entry to the one below my previous one is in reply to mine or not, but df -h gives me:
| Code: | | df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory |
as for free, it tells me that my total memory is 126016, with 51032 used, and 74984 free. 0 is shared, 17744 is buffers, and 19248 is cached.
the -/+ buffers/cache has 14040 used and 111976 free.
0 for all on swap.
so i got through the initial emerging of glibc by removing some cflags in my make.conf.
but, it happens again, and i get the exact same error message about being out of memory or something.
note that this is a pentium 3 laptop with 128MB of ram. i know, its not much, but i didn't think i would need that much.
this will be the third time that i will emerge -e system, and this time i will get the exact error message.[/code] |

@Bob P:
Please, please include the cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab step from the standard Installation Handbook into your tutorial. It is the cause of the silly error message quoted above.
| Code: | # mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab.bak
# df
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory
# mv /etc/mtab.bak /etc/mtab
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 39149200 3819160 35330040 10% /
udev 452696 532 452164 1% /dev
none 452696 0 452696 0% /dev/shm |
In summary, the arguments FOR and AGAINST including this step are:
Arguments FOR including "cp /proc/mtab /etc/fstab":
- It is in the original Gentoo Installation Handbook.
- It prevents possible boot errors on some SATA, SCSI and maybe even IDE drives.
- It prevents annoying "Can't create lock file /etc/mtab~623" error messages from being shown when booting on ALL systems.
- It prevents df from bombing out with the error message quoted above.
Arguments AGAINST including said command:
- We want to be as different from the original Gentoo Installation Handbook as possible. Hopefully Sven Vermuellen will notice us and incorporate this into the Alternative Installation HOWTO.
- We want all those silly people running SATA drives not to be able to boot when following this tutorial. The tutorial is written based on a Pentium classic with IDE drives after all. Who told these chaps to burn themselves trying the latest and greatest unsupported hardware?
- We love scaring n00bs with scary-looking "Can't create lock file" messages. This is an advanced installation tutorial after all, so those n00bs better keep their hands off.
- We want people to stop checking the free space on their mounted filesystems using df. In order for linux to look like a typical powerful OS straight from the '70s, all users must use a calculator to sum up the total size of each and every file, then deduct this from the size of the filesystem to get the free space on each one.
Have I driven my point across?  |
