Looks silly question, but I'm trying to get Gentoo on my new Lenovo Thinkpad E530. So far it isn't working out very well.
I wiped the disks and following the guide I'm at the point of installing GRUB. But the emerge fails. Now I cannot see how to get the info out of the laptop on the net as the laptop. No way to cut-paste between the laptop and the desktop I'm afraid. Also I never managed to pipe the emerge output to a file.
Problem seems to be autoconf:
* The specific snippet of code:
* die "Failed Running $1 !";
Any ideas?
Must say this is the hardest Gentoo install I ever had. Normally they work straigth through the handbook. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

Do you have a working network connection? If so, use wgetpaste. Get it from Portage. Inside your chroot, justAfter that, you can use wgetpaste to paste a log file to the internet. You get back a simple short URL that you can copy down by hand and post to the Forums for help.

Ok, good to know.
But it appeared to be a stupid user error. Forgot to add grub to the use variables. Now I added it it emerges.
But it still doesn't boot _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |
