Thanks for the hint, right now I've got the i486 stage3 in a chroot and have changed both the CHOST and CFLAGS to i586. If that leads to problems, as you've described, I'll start over with only setting CHOST to i586 at first and then changing CFLAGS. Currently the build process is running fine, however, but I'm mentally prepared for difficults now. ;-) > > I guess that once I've "prepared" such an i586 stage3 manually, I can > > regularely let catalyst handle updating it, just as it does fine with > > the original i486 and i686 stage3's. > > I haven't used catalyst at all. You make it sound interesting & useful. I've found it useful in the sense that it has allowed me to download an original Gentoo stage3 way back, and then - say, once a month - I've let catalyst build a new, updated stage3 out of it which I then used for new installations whenever I had to do then. Of course, I could just have grabbed one of the official Gentoo stage3's that get updated weekly, but hey, somehow it just feels cooler to use a stage3 you've rolled yourself. ;-) I'll post again when I have my i586 stage3 available for download. Folks wanting to perform a new Gentoo installation on an i586 kind of machine could then just grab and use that one if they don't want to use Gentoo's i486 stage3 (and stay at i486 or change the CHOST / CFLAGS to i586 after installation themselves).
