Dear Gentoo-users, I want to install gentoo on my brand new quadcore, following the amd64 handbook install manual. $emerge gentoo-sources fails:
>>> Preparing to unpack ... ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /*G??Zn?W??%?? Where ? is actually a white quadrangle.. Next: /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7/tmp/environment: line 1: blabla (unreadable): Permission denied, and next an unexpected EOF message. Next: an error on ebuild.sh line 1641. I discovered that the tmp/environment file seems to contain some binary data at the first four rows. $ dmesg shows a lot of weird characters, and after that I can't use this console anymore. Also the /var/log/sandbox/sandbox-?????.log file seems to contain binary data. What's going on? My system is a Q9300 and I use two similar disks in raid-1 (/boot) and raid-0 (/). My problems seem to be identical to the ones mentioned here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236641 BTW, irc.freenode.org doesn't seem to be alive, is it down? Thanks in advance! Martin
