How do I fix this, I am running 2005.1 with a live-cd install made by the glid installer [lates from terminal] The install went O.K.
-------------------------------------
I have this problem as well, I cannot figure out how to fix, & am worried I will make things worse. It says I have 16 config files to fix?
| Quote: | When Portage installs a file into a protected directory tree like /etc, any
existing files will not be overwritten. If a file of the same name already
exists, Portage will change the name of the to-be-installed file from 'foo' to
'._cfg0000_foo'. If '._cfg0000_foo' already exists, this name becomes
'._cfg0001_foo', etc. In this way, existing files are not overwritten,
allowing the administrator to manually merge the new config files and avoid any
unexpected changes.
In addition to protecting overwritten files, Portage will not delete any files
from a protected directory when a package is unmerged. While this may be a
little bit untidy, it does prevent potentially valuable config files from being
deleted, which is of paramount importance.
Protected directories are set using the CONFIG_PROTECT variable, normally
defined in /etc/make.globals. Directory exceptions to the CONFIG_PROTECTed
directories can be specified using the CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK variable. To find
files that need to be updated in /etc, type:
# find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*'
You can disable this feature by setting CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" in /etc/make.conf.
Then, Portage will mercilessly auto-update your config files. Alternatively,
you can leave Config File Protection on but tell Portage that it can overwrite
files in certain specific /etc subdirectories. For example, if you wanted
Portage to automatically update your rc scripts and your wget configuration,
but didn't want any other changes made without your explicit approval, you'd
add this to /etc/make.conf:
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/wget /etc/rc.d"
Tools such as dispatch-conf, cfg-update, and etc-update are also available to
aid in the merging of these files. They provide interactive merging and can
auto-merge trivial changes.

It seems that you dont have a kernel source installed or there is no link in source directory.
Nvidia drivers need the kernel source in order to build the module for the X
Check weather you have either gentoo-sources installed or vanilla-sources and
make a link in /usr/src directory of the sources you use as "linux"
e.g. if you have linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 linux
and try to reemerge the nvidia drivers |

I've been patiently working with Gentoo for about 14 hrs. This is install attempt, I think, #6 [some went not as far, others would not boot]
........I'm getting near the breaking point..........
.........I've got the killdisk floppy within arms reach..........  |

Please don't give up! Type:
Do not try to "emerge". This is a bash command to print sytem information. (If you want more information about uname, at the # command prompt TYPE: "man uname") I'm working on a simular problem.

Yeah, don't give up. There are tougher ones that this to deal with I'm sure.
And the forum and Gentoo is too good to let it go that easy.
I was doing a update of my whole system today, and had this same problem.
It happened because I had done an
| Code: |
emerge --sync
emerge -e system
|
with
| Code: | | USE="... symlink ..." |
in make.conf, which will create the /usr/src/linux symlink when new
source is emerged.
Then tried to emerg nvidia-drivers. This had merged a new kernel
source dir -r8, and the /usr/src/linux was updated to point to it.
So, there wasn't a .config in it and I got the error. I just fixed the
symlink to point to the kernel I was booting.
| Code: |
rm /usr/src/linux <== assuming that's a symlink, beware.
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 /usr/src/linux
|
You can find the kernel you booted with
as one already pointed out.
In my case it's
| Code: | Linux tortuga 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Thu Sep 14 21:44:28 NZST 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ GNU/Linux

Yes, that is sort of how I fixed mine as well. I just recompiled the kernel using the command at the root prompt (#) instead of manually changing the symlink. I had time. It's is a new install just for fun.
USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-source |
