Hiiiiii,

Im installing a Gentoo 1.4 on a 486Dx2-66. (ok ok laugh at my slow firewall :( )Coz of limited HD space I use a stage 3 tar-ball.
All went well untill I had to emerge the kernel via the command :

emerge sys-kernal/vanilla-sources

All seems to go ok but after downloading the tarfile, it just stops ? No errors, it just falls back to the prompt ? The last line it gives is :

>>> md5 ; -) linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2

I exerimented a bit more, seems I cant emerge ANYTHING ! What can that be ?


gggggrrrrrrrts...

Time to compile your kernel to suit your needs.

Quote:

Code listing 14.1: Emerging Kernel Sources
# emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources

Code listing 14.2: Compiling the Linux Kernel

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig
[if bzImage already exists]
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

If you are saying that the kernel sources are not there after you are dumped to the command prompt in the middle of your emerge sys-kernel/vanilla-sources, then you should emerge rsync and then try to emerge the kernel sources again. Remember which mirror you go to and try different mirrors if you continue to get this error. What version of portage are you using? (emerge --version) Also, I don't know if this was simply a typo in your post or if you were actually using that as your command, but it should be
Code:
bash $ emerge sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
Note the spelling sys-kernel.

Aloha !

Sorry for the late replie... I think you misunderstood.... (Or I didn't explane well enough....)

If if emerge ANYTHING.... really ANYTHING, it gets the tarball (I check if it is really on disc and it is...) but then it stops...

emerge vi -> no ffect
emerge seti -> no ffect
emerge lilo -> no ffect....

I have the lates version of emerge (I downloaded stage 3 tarball for i486 ????

Just to be certain, what does emerge -V output? 2.0.44 is the current version of portage.

I have typed an emerge -v on the prompt and is says :


Portage 2.0.36

It is not the latest but I think that is ok ?

Well, I would say that you should update your portage version anyhow, just to be sure, but I don't know what would happen if you did a 'emerge portage' on the commandline. Does that just download the tarball or does it actually update?

Yes.

What I meant was: "Does it download the source and then actually install or does it download the source and then crap out like vi, seti, and everything else that jecepede has tried?"

Ehhrrrr

As I already told, and "emerge sync" or an "emerge portage" goes well, NO ERRORS...

Then when I try to install for example the kernel sourcs, all seems to go ok but after downloading the tarfile, it just stops ? No errors, it just falls back to the prompt ? The last line it gives is :

>>> md5 ; -) linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2


The linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2-file is REALLY downloaded and I can even unzip/untar by hand but that is not the idea of emerge right ????

Ok, try this:

1. cd /usr/portage/distfiles
2. tar tvjf linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2

If this does not show you a file listing or you get an error from tar, it may be because the tar program was compiled with a compiler option that is not recognized by your processor.

If it gives you a file listing, try:
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/vanilla-sources/vanilla-sources-2.4.19.ebuild unpack (and if successfully unpacked, substitute unpack with qmerge and run it again).

If this fails, paste in the errors here and we'll take a look at them.

Okie...

I tried untarring and now it says "-j illegal option" I have to bunzip first and then untar but that works ?


I didn't try the e-build (yet)



Jessy

NB, I made a typo : -xvkf
Then I tried -xvjf and then it worked.....

I'm now looking what happens if I type the ebuild command....

NB2: OI!

An ebuild gives :
ebuild: this ebuild generated output during the depend phase (bad)
