Hello, Previously I had a long thread going about resizing an NTFS partition. Without success, I decide to just reformate and leave a 30 gig NTFS partition at the beginning of the drive. I'll worry about XP later.
I started (this) new thread about debugging the amd64 installation(my first). I just used the amd64(experimential) livecd to attempt an installation. I went throught the menu and all seemed fine. Here's where it failed: <snip> Make.conf configured Chroot environment ready. Portage tree sync'd MARK Stating bootstrap. Exception received during 'Performing bootstrap: Stage 1ERror: FATAL: stage1: Boostrapping failed! Traceback File "opt/installer/GLIClient Controller.py" line 165 in run self_install_steps File "/opt/installer/GLIArchitetureTemplate.py" line 224, in stage1 I guess I know why the livedCD for amd64 is under experimental? Should I just follow the instructions, the old fashion way, in the Gentoo Handbook for amd64 or is a an installation(menu) system that works? The only place I really had a question was when the installation CD asked for the URl of the stage one tarball. I gave it: http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/experimental/amd64/vserver/ stage1-amd64-20060317.tar.bz2 Any better/more_current stage 1 tarballs to use? Should I have chosen another option other than the stage1 tarball? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
