Hello,
I'm new in Gentoo and got a Problem with the Gentoo Linux installation.

I did the following steps after booting from the LiveCD:

net-setup eth0
ifconfig
ping -c 5 www.google.com
<network works>

<Harddisk is sdb>

fdisk /dev/sdb

mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/gentoo/boot

cd /mnt/gentoo

nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf

<I edit>
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
MAKEOPTS="J4"
<PC got 4 cores>
<save>

cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"

<I'm now in '(chroot) livecd / # '>

emerge --sync

nano -w /etc/locale.gen
<choose 4: 2xus and 2xde>
<save>

locale-gen <this doesn't work>

ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime

emerge gentoo-sources

ls -l /usr/src/linux <Fehler: ls:_cannot access /usr/src/linux: No such file or directory, and this is correct, I checked, the directory doesn't exist>

emerge pciutils

lspci <doesn't work>
lsmod <works>

cd /usr/src/linux <doesn't work, because the dir isn't there, I cannot start 'make menuconfig'>



What did I forget to do? Shouldn't 'emerge gentoo-sources' make the dir availible?

Another question: my network card got the driver: r8169. Which setting I got to enable in 'make menuconfig' that the driver will get loaded at startup?

Thank you for your help.

I believe it should, actually. The /usr/src/linux symlink probably doesn't exist (because you don't have the symlink USE flag set) or else you missed an error message when emerging gentoo-sources. Look in /usr/src to see if you have a kernel source directory, which will include the kernel version. If so, then just do this:
Code:
cd /usr/src
ln -s that-exact-directory-name linux
Report back if you have any issues. :wink:

Regarding the network driver question, once you get into "make menuconfig", just hit "/" and type the name of the driver (in this case "r8169") and you'll be presented with a map to the configuration item to set. You can either make the driver built-in or make it load as a module. Even if you chopose the module route, loading it at boot time should now be automatic.

I'm back after installing for a few days. So the error was the line "MAKEOPTS="J4" in make.conf. Not sure why, but this line causes the emerge not to work properly. It shouldn't actually but it did. After I removed this line, emerge worked properly, added it back, it didn't work again. I also added "emerge --oneshot portage", but this wasn't the errors cause.

Thanks for the help.

It should have been "-j4', with lowercase 'j'.

gorkypl and alocacoc.

Additional one double quote to much if your wrote here precisely the same as into your make.conf:
Quote:
"MAKEOPTS="J4"

This confuses the sequence of all the following Lines too and could have the strange side effects you've seen.

Regarding the missing of the self creation of the symlink which should point to the kernel sources John mentioned.

I guess this version of the handbook seems a little unprecise regarding this. AFAIK in older versions its creation was mentioned.

Handbook should contain at least these three possibilities.

1.) creation by hand via ln -s that-exact-directory-name linux
2.) If the USE-Flag symlink has been set before gentoo-sources was merged, this symlink has been created by portage
3.) emerge eselect package, and check the symlink via eselect kernel list, set it via eselect kernel set [No.]

Furthermore much success for your installation from my side.

Andy.

No, it was:

MAKEOPTS="J4"

like written in the first post.

I had to add MAKEOPTS="-j4".

Thank you all for your help,
