 Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 7:26 pm Post subject: Emerge System yields no packages |
 |
|
Hi there,
I'm in the process of doing a stage 1 installation on a dual 400 E250 with 2GB and 4x32GB disks. I have the system bootstrapped and all is well, till I go to emerge the system.
| Code: |
livecd src # emerge -p system
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating system dependencies ...done!
livecd src #
|
Couple of strange things that could be the cause.
1: I am chrooted to the env, yet the system name appears to be "livecd". Possibly this is because I am connected via ssh and not on the local console.
2: The disk layout is as follows
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 35005248 72392 33154680 1% /mnt/gentoo
/dev/sdb1 35562492 32840 35529652 1% /mnt/gentoo/home
/dev/sdc1 35562492 3675572 31886920 11% /mnt/gentoo/usr
/dev/sdd1 35562492 49700 35512792 1% /mnt/gentoo/var
|
This should not be a problem.
3: Using linux26-headers.
So am I missing anything here? Is there something different about sparc that is not in the installation handbook (I have done numerous x86 and PPC installations).
Thank you for your time,
Frank Russo |

1. I assume you did env-update etc. ?
2. if that is your disk layout now, someting is definitely wrong...

1: Yes, and sourced the /etc/profile
2: That is the disk layout from the livecd environment and not the chrooted env.

Repeating the install procedure from scratch gives the same. Will attempt do a stage3 installation to work around the issue. Regressing a stage 1 install on x86 seems to work fine, so this problem appears to be limited to 2004.3/sparc.
Thank you for your time,

What does everyone else get when they do an "emerge -pv system" on sparc?
