 |
|
Hi all,
yesterday I get my fresh new notebook (Intel Celeron 1200, 128 MB RAM minus 8 MB for graphic card, sis900 network card, ...) and - of course - I want to install Gentoo on it.
After booting the CD, configuring network and creating partitions (everything went fine) I have to TAR the stage1-file. While untaring the computer hangs, everytime, but always at another file in the archive. And there is no soft reboot possible. It seems to be a problem with BZIP2, because I tried to bunzip the stage1-file, and the computer hangs there without the TAR command.
I've tested to open the tbz2-file with WinRar under Windoze, everything's fine, no crc errors or something like that...
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a hardware issue. Are you overclocking? Does your cooling system work? (bzip2 is a hard algorithm...)

I do not hope so. I've put the fresh notebook just out of the box, so I didn't overclock anything. The cooling system works, I think so, because of the funny noise from the bottom... 
But if it is a hard algorithm, why can WinRar decompress it and bzip2 not? Doesn't feel logical for me...
By the way, I can decompress it with WinRar and can put it on another pc in the local network. But if I do so, how can I mount shares via smb or nfs? I'm afraid, there is no smb support built into the gentoo-install-kernel...  |

Is WinRAR running on the same box?

Yes, I installed the "hardware-diagnostic-tool called Windows" plus WinRar on a small corner of the harddisk... I'm really sorry...
WinRar and bzip2 are working under the same conditions (if I can say so, because of the different operating systems)...
Could it be a hardware setting, especially for Windows on notebooks?
I can feel it... I'll go crazy... |

Oh my god... it's done! I got it! It's a wonder!
All I did was
| Code: |
bzip2 -dfv -v stage1-ix86-1.2.tbz2
tar -xvpf stage1-ix86-1.2.tar
|
and the stage1 system was on my disc...
In my opinion, the verbose mode ob bzip2 was the saver of my soul...
...but I don't know - not a little bit - why and how!
So I post here what I did, if anyone is getting a similar error, you should try the code above... good luck! |
