Hey Cheater, I'm fairly new to this, but I was able to get vmlinus-2.6.15-no4 kernel to run on first attempt per your guide. Problem is that emerge of xorg-x11, nvidia-glx, ivman or any others that require "fontconfig-2.3.93.20060210.tar.bz2", abort downloading stage because file cannot be found on web. Any ideas? P.S. I'm very impressed with the speed increase.

The fonconfig-overlay has been updated so the distfiles it tried to download are not there anymore. I had the same problem. You need to update the fontconfig-overlay http://web.telia.com/~u18221075/linux/f ... ay.tar.bz2

Install went great 'till attempting Xorg install. After correcting fontconfig install fail with nxsty overlay I'm now getting openmotif-2.2.3-r9 fail

"Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!"

Any ideas

Opps, posted too soon on that problem. After doing emerge sync things seem to be clipping along nicely now. Thanks for geat guide!

Hi, thanks. Updating fontconfig-overlay fixed it. Ivman and nvidia-glx emerge OK. xorg-x11 emerge no longer fails from fontconfig-overlay issue, but now fails with:

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1949: Called dyn_preinst
ebuild.sh, line 1297: Called pkg_preinst

!!! ERROR: /usr/X11R6 is not a symlink to ../usr.

any ideas on this one?

Wow, I got some split kde ebuilds running and this box smokes! I can't believe how fast it compiles & runs stuff.My last Gentoo install was a stage 1/3 (reiserfs3.6) on a 2.8g p4 & this install is on an older XP2500 based board- it runs waaay better! Thanks again for a great guide, your root overlay works wonders.

hiz and first of all a big thanks for this spectacullar guide!

I just have one question. Does anybody have tried to prelink after following the guide?

After had i completed the basic installation like a charm and also installed kdebase & fvwm i tried to prelink and everything went wrong!! prelink finished with an error msg about libc.so.6 (dont rember rigth now the exact msg) and after that nothing was working. I restarted and got a kernel panic with an error msg smth like "out of bounds madness ... /lib/ld-linux.so.2: undefined symbol : _r_debug". I even tried to chroot using the cd but i got the same msg again. Now i am installing rigth from the beginning!!
I suspect that the problem has smth to do with prelink and glibc but i am not quite sure.

Anyone has any clue?

I would never prelink

Expecially when using this guide.

The LDFLAGS are linker flags, and particulary the -Bdirect flag is a way better method to prelink. It is not pre-linking but it is like it. When using LDFLAGS, don't prelink

Particulary with -Bdirect, there is no need to prelink. (prelink is a myth :-p, ldflags are not)

NOTE: The conrad guide 2.5.0 is coming on monday, it will feature gcc-4.1/snapshot, glibc-2.4, and much more

Hi
Thanks for this great Conrad guide. But I've run in a problem here

.

Code: Select all

daTenSchLeuDer ~ # emerge --emptytree world
Calculating world dependencies... done!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3263, in ?
    if "resume" in portage.mtimedb and \
KeyError: 'mergelist'

I have portage 2.1_pre6 installed here and did a emerge --sync before.
Do you have a suggestion, because I can't update portage either (same problem as above).

Looks like you somehow broke your portage :X I am unsure how to fix that specific /usr/bin/emerge error, I would look for a .tbz2 of portage, and extract it in / and see if it fixes it.

So you can't emerge anything right? In that case you may need to reinstall :X (from 2.5 guide coming later tonight), or somehow find a .tbz2 of portage-2.1

Figured it out - too many use flags

-OutDated+Unsupported- CONRAD Install Guide 2.0

xorg-x11, nvidia-glx fail to emerge

fontconfig-overlay fixed
