 |
|
I'm doing a fresh install and at the part where you install the boot loader aka Grub2
Following the steps as correctly as I can..
These is what I've done so far..
root #echo 'GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf
root #emerge --ask --update --newuse --verbose sys-boot/grub:2
As it started sys-boot/efibootmgr-17::gentoo
Fetching files in background.
To view fetch progress, run in another terminal:
tail -f /var/log/emerge-fetch.log
and cursor just blinks.. I've tried multiple time and this time let it set for over an hour..
My hardware isn't that great but it's fairly new being a HP Zbook Firefly i7..
Any idea's thanks.. |

Because Portage is downloading the source files in the background, it is not clear whether that's hanging, or if it's something else. I'd say try fetching the files first:
| Code: | | # emerge --ask --fetch --verbose sys-boot/grub:2 |
And see if that succeeds. If it does, then try installing GRUB and report back:
| Code: | | # emerge --ask --verbose sys-boot/grub:2 |
Don't use --update for this step, that's only for regular updates. You are doing the first install now, so it doesn't apply.

I just did a new install and ran into this multiple times, and ctrl-c would get it to move on, then it would stop again.
I figured it was a downloading problem, because I could see it trying to download the two files needed multiple times.
i believe the default timing out period is too long before it moves on to your next selected mirror.
In my case, the first selected mirror was the pair.com (?) system and when I edited out the pair system mirror in /etc/portage/make.conf,
everything started downloading at the proper speed. Also, it was Saturday night and maybe the pair people were doing some maintenance.
The time out period is w-a-y too long, whatever it is, imo.
