masked by: missing keyword

[Ronen Itzhaki]

Hello dear forum

I've been trying to upgrade grub from 0.98 (on an old synced gentoo) to 1.98 (or 1.97-?), and receive:
"masked by: missing keyword"
Tried, w/o any success:
1. Removing the mask on 'sys-boot/grub' from any "/usr/portage/.../*.mask" file.
2. Putting it on /etc/portage/package.unmask.
3. Writing "sys-boot/grub **" to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords .
4. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="..." emerge ...

Any ideas?

You will have issues with severely out of date Gentoo systems, and yours certainly qualifies. Best advice is to get the installation up to date first. If that's not practical, then let's look at the type of masking that grub currently has in your out of date system. Please post the output of

@Ronen Itzhaki. I don't understand. It seems you are running amd64 stable, but there is no stable GRUB 2 available. And there is no 1.97 or 1.98 available either, but only 2.00-r1 (for ~amd64): http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-boot/grub.

Do you have access to the internet??

From your emerge --info you are way behind.
1.Portage 2.1.8.3 ( not even in portage )
2.app-shells/bash ( this either )
3.dev-lang/python: ( this either )

Just to mention three. The list goes on.

You need to do a emerge --sync to update
Then not sure how much trouble it will be but first you need to update ( Portage )
And I'm not sure if this can happen with the ( Python ) you are using.

Hello forum. thanks for your answers, but:


1. sync is out of question. Its a production platform so we move on with no syncs unless it's extremely critical.
We have a problem and assume Grub has a bug that cause it (Lilo works in the same disks environment and boot setup). Grub upgrade will probably solve it.


2. fturco: grub-2.* ebuilds are too far to fit. We received lots of missmatch ebuild errors, and unless we'll splice and change the ebuild it won't fit. We do that only if we must (and know what to change). I assume 1.98 and such are enough to solve the bug.


3. John: "equery list -p grub" output is:

2. We have a storage with 12+ disks, trying to writer MBR data to ALL disks (no matter why). Grub can't write to the higher numbered disks. It's not the controller's fault and LILO succeeds doing it.


thanks.

Congratulations DaggyStyle! that was it.
Just why doesn't it work if U put KEYWORDS="..." on commandline? is it being overridden by the ebuild's KEYWORDS= ?
