hey i just got my nforce2 and im trying to put gentoo on it, but regardless of what stage i do 1, or 2, i have to emerge somthing several tiems b4 it actually goes all the way thru....for example i would run scripts/bootstrap.sh and it would crash around binutils telling me stuf about src exitcode, or even worse the kernel would get a panic and a ctrl c woudlnt even get me to prompt, so now im trying to do emerge system, and same thing python failed, so i ran emerge system again and it went thru now perl is failing....this is getting realy annoying
ive ran emerge sync several times with env-update, ive also changed my cflagfs to very basic flags...what should i do?
edit: i think i narrowed out the problem,i ran a low level format b4 i tried installing gentoo........you guys think that could be a reason? im going to use my utility floppy and set up the drive,which i never did

Your sig has the word "overclocked" in it.
Don't overclock with gentoo. Get your system back to some sane values, try again, if the problem remains you might get a useful answer.
There are many threads in this forum because overclocking and compiling doesn't mix well. So please, don't overclock. |

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you.
That being said, overclocking might work most of the time, but especially in CPU-intensive environments (like compiling) even mild overclocking can have devastating effects. Most problems with random segfaults etc. can be tracked down to faulty ram or overclocked hardware. Even slight out-of-spec operation can create these hard to track down errors. And don't say "not that aggresively", your 2100+ is what, 1800Mhz? Overclocked to 2100Mhz is quite a step. And especially those VIA-Boards... I had some experience with them that tells me never to trust that company again. hmmm...
And what makes you say that you don't want to use it at standard clock? I'm using an 1600+, not overclocked, and I'm quite happy with my performance !? |
