Ok, it definitely is a bug in the portage

I just reextracted the portage tarball from the 2004.1 livecd and now it works

EDIT:
I was too quick...

now I get an error while configuring gettext-0.11.5

Thought so, I'll do that later this evening and install overnight.. Thanks for the confirmation

EDIT: Gah!!!

I just wanted to chime in and say that I get the same error as SiggiS while emerging portage during bootstrap.

Then I tried installing from Stage 2 and got the, apparently "infamous," segfault. Will emerging gcc-3.4 before emerging system rid of this on a stage 2 install?

I just built my amd64 machine yesterday. I am coming from using Gentoo on PPC. I thought that life would be easier on an x86* mahine, hah! Oh well, I love a good hack!

There seem to be huge problems with the whole install procedure at the moment. I could never get a 2004.1 iso image that actually booted (and i tried two with the same date from two different mirrors, and the attached .md5 files contained different md5sums to each other!), so I've been using the 2004.0 livecd. It's been working for me, and it seems that other people have used this to get round the segfault issues as well.

It's easier on x86 definitely!

Unfortunately, amd64 seems only for the brave at the moment!

The irritating part is that I had it working, but I went back to 32 bit so I could play some of my games that didn't work in 64 very well.. And one tiny glitch in the nvidia drivers (which probably won't be fixed for ages) has completely destroyed any hope of getting 3d acceleration on my specific motherboard..

I have exams on Monday, so I'm going to leave this for now and sort this out next week when I have study leave. Good luck getting this working, guys..

@motzky I tried livecd2004.0 with stage1 2004.0, too. So I think it wont help you.

Hopefully any of the developers notice this thread, or any other can submit this bug!

Here's a little update from me:

I started over using the 2004.1 LiveCD. I untarred stage1 and the snapshot from the LiveCD. I did NOT emerge sync. Bootstrapping worked fine then, but the install fails between stage2 and stage3 (those damn seg faults again).

So, although I'm still not able to complete the installation, I can get past the portage failure. At present I'm trying to find a workaround for that...

Noet that as soon as I have a complete installation I can always do an emerge sync && emerge -uD world to get my system up to date.

WTF? So I am in the process of filing a bug report on this little portage issue and I have it all outlined on my laptop while I go through the pre-bootstrap process on my amd64 machine to reproduce the error. I am redirecting the output of bootstrap.sh to a file to include in the bug report and the wgets are still displayed on the console.

Now, what happened the three previous times I tried this was bootstrap downloaded portage and then barfed, only this time bootstrap kept on downloading files! So I ctrl-c and re-bootstrap without redirecting the output and to my astonishment portage has emerged and my bootstrap is still going!

This is, mind you, AFTER an emerge sync and with portage-2.0.50-r6. So whatever problem I had before seems to be gone now, Yay!

I can't think of anything I did differently this time except that I didn't edit my make.conf AT ALL except to add the namerica rsync server, though before I hadn't reallly edited it either--I never even changed the CFLAGS. I don't get it?

The devs probably changed something without making it a new -r?, and discovered it didn't work fairly quickly, so changed it again! Does it work for anyone else now?

Is this weird problem solved ?

It is solved. The complete System is compiled with gcc 3.4 and it works fine
