I'm trying to build the stages of Gentoo with Catalyst.
Can not get pass

Code: Select all

CatalystError: Couldn't mount: /var/tmp/catalyst/snapshots/gentoo-01c19c36fe8f522ecd49c5d85703671b95c204dd.sqfs, No such device
The snapshot is there with the lock file.

Do I need to specify a ROOT and populate it with sys-apps/baselayout before hand ??

Here is my catalyst output

Code: Select all

catalyst -a -f releng/releases/specs/arm64/stage1-openrc-23.spec -v
