<sigh> ... Well I guess there's always a first time ;) Nah, seriously, first time I've seen it too. > Let's first establish where you are at in the installation. > > Are you following the Installation Guide at gentoo.org? Yup, followed the guide. Just FYI, I have an Asus R2 system running Gentoo in which I haven't had this issue and now I just installed an MSI Wind netbook in which I'm having this issue :( > If so, what point in the guide are you at?

Everything (seems) to work OK, except for revdep-rebuild and the qca compilation. Right now I was going to install KDE and all the needed software to get a useful desktop up and running so it's a minimal system. > Do you have any personal customizations in your shell environment?

Thanks for your time !!! Rafa
