I have finally taken the first step in leaving RedHat. (I wont go into the details of why. ;-)
So, looking for another distro, I stumbled over gentoo, which to me looks to be a wonderful alternative. Or at least, if I will manage to get it installed. ;-)
Hardware in the test rig: P166 (IBM) (old stuff) 2 * 1.2 GB disk IDE CDROM 64 MB RAM
Software:
The latest /pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc4/x86/x86/livecd/gentoo-3stages-x86-1.4_rc4.iso
Achievements so far:
- Got the PC booted with SBM (this old chap wont boot natively from a CD-ROM, SBM made my day. ;-)
- Decided to go with a stage1 installation (I have the time for it).
- Successfully performed stage1, including repartitioning the disks, chose EXT3 for /boot and ReiserFS for /, /var, /home and /tmp.
- Successfully performed stage2
- Successfully performed stage3
- Setup timezone and adjusted the clock. (Pushed the clock *forward*)
Failure: Installation of the kernel.
Details:
# emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ... OK
# cd /usr/src/linux ... OK
# source /etc/profile ... OK
# make menuconfig ... (Lot's a thinking and wondering here. My first kernel compile) ... OK (I think, no errors indicated)
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install ... Failure!
After about one hours work of compiling and such, I got the error messages:
# ipt_realm.c: In function 'match':
# ipt_realm.c:29: structure has no member named 'tclassid'
# make[2]: *** [ipt_realm.o] Error 1
# make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net/ipv4/netfilter'
# make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_ipv4/netfilter] Error 2
# make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5/net'
# make: *** [_mod_net] Error 2
So, what do I do next?
*Any* hints, ideas or RTFM's highly appreciated.
