Wouldn't that require mirrorselect to be added to the stage1 tarball
so that it is available after you chroot.

If i remember correctly (recently did an install) mirrorselect is run
before chrooting because you don't have access to it after you chroot.

As I said earlier, in order to use mirrorselect after your chroot
surely it needs to be included in the stage tarballs? and the
dependancies would require you to be able to download packages before
being able to emerge mirrorselect giving the chicken and the egg
senario.

I don't have gentoo in front of me at the moment to check what options
mirrorselect has, but does it have an option to force IPV4 version
selection? i.e. to override the default use of whatever IP protocol it
detects is supported. If so, the docs should just be updated to
reflect use of that when starting off, instead of just using the
default option. Otherwise the option should probably be added to
mirrorselect.

  OK folks, here is the *ROOT CAUSE* of the problem.  The install LiveCD
boots up with IPV6 enabled.  That's when mirrorselect gets run.  It
finds IPV6-addressable servers.  But when you chroot later on in the
install, you lose access to the IPV6-enabled binaries.  Is there a bug
report on this somewhere?  I think the correct procedure should be to run
mirrorselect *AFTER* the chroot.

  OK, so much for the screwup in the install scripts, your solution is
to comment out the GENTOO_MIRRORS line in make.conf and re-run
mirrorselect *AFTER CHROOTING*, which will give only IPV4-addressable
servers in the MIRRORS line.

  The real solution is to get the developers to fix the b0rk3n install
routine.

It was the framebuffer. I compiled 2.6.10 w vesafb (and not vesafb-tng)
supposrt and it worked. 

I then placed the vga=xxx parameter to the kernel command line and it
got me a nicer/bigger console.

Sweet.

Thanks to those who helped solve this stupid problem.

I think so. I was re=config'ing the 2.6.9 kernel _yet_ again. And saw
the bit about vesafb-tng and vesafb.

Just for the heck of it (and before running up another 5 flight of
stairs (UP) I'm re-compiling it w/o any frambebuffer support.)

Hope it's OK. Else it's another 5 up and 5 dn flight of stairs.

Hmm.. I didn't think much of this. Funny though since there was
_another_ box in which gentoo was installed and I did no such vga
passing to the kernel.

For the record. I also tried noapic and nolapic.

But once it finishes compilation _yet_ again, I'll try it out and see if
the vga=xxx works.

I had similar problem on my notebook. With the 2.6.10 kernel, framebuffer
doesn't support unusual display settings like 1280x800 any more. Switching
down to 1024x768 did the trick for booting. X itself has no problem with the
higher solution. If that doesn't help, give the pure console a try. In other
words, disable framebuffer.

What kernel source are you on?

This may not be the Solution but it might be worth a thought. :)

Does it have the vesafb-tng patch?  If so the setting in grub may look
something like:

video=vesafb:ypan,[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check Spocks website for info on it:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/

If you dont have the vesafb-tng patch how do you set your vga in grub?

example: vga=791

Here's a table showing frame buffer vga modes:

Color depth  | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
-+-
256(8bit)|769771 773775
32000 (15bit)|  784787 790793
65000 (16bit)|  785788 791794
16.7 Mill.(24bit)|   786789 792795

So if you wanted [EMAIL PROTECTED] Million colors:

grub.conf:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-r4 root=/dev/hda3 vga=795

Hope it helps

Re: [gentoo-user] New Install Trouble w/ Boot and GCC Update

[Douglas James Dunn]

About the OK's are they just not there? like missing?  if your using an
lcd monitor I've noticed that sometimes when my monitor and previous
monitors switch between like your boot screen and X and other stuff
sometimes it displays the screen shifted to the left or to your case
possibly the right.  It sometimes cuts off the top 3-5 lines causing the
login prompt to not show on the screen or other things like that.  I
know some LCDs have an auto align button that should clear that up.
Thats really the only thing i can think of that might cause that.

Okay -- someplace to start looking.  I'm in the middle of an '--update

Is there anything specific that I should be looking for when I looking

Well, in large part you can't. OK, maybe mirrorselect could be fixed to 
cull some of the dead mirrors-- if they are in fact dead, rather than it 
being a node problem where those mirrors happen to be unreachable for 
you at this time (but on Monday, they'll be fine)-- but other than that, 
there's nothing much you can do about "host not found" other than choose 
different mirrors.

Similarly, 404 errors mean the file is not on the server, and there's 
nothing you can do about that either, other than wait for the server to 
sync up. I notice that db at least seems to have a mirror restrict to 
the source URI, insofar as I suspect that sleepycat.com is the project's 
site, rather than a Gentoo mirror. And if that is the case (you must 
download the source from the project, rather than from a Gentoo mirror), 
then there's really nothing we can "fix"-- if the files aren't on the 
project servers, there's nothing anyone can do but wait till they get 
there. Of course, if the 404 is because the files have *moved*, you 
could always track them down, and submit a bug to correct the ebuild.

But these are really issues for another day. Get the system installed 
using the manual downloads, and then you can clean up your mirror 
situation in somewhat more comfort ;-) .

Re: [gentoo-user] New Install

[Ivan Yosifov]

It seems mirrorselect has chosen br0ken mirros. Try removing
GENTOO_MIRRORS from /etc/make.conf and running the emerge again. Using
the default mirror should be slower , yet correct. If it is too slow for
you , you may look at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
and set a mirror manually.

As for the next guy... I suggest you file a bug , reporting mirrors
X,Y,Z are br0ken so that they are removed from the mirror list
mirrorselect uses.

I found the best way to use mirrorselect was 'mirrorselect -i' then pick 
likely mirrors from the menu. In the UK, I had best results with German, 
Belgian and Swiss mirrors (avoiding the IPv6 ones) until my own ISP 
(BlueYonder) became a mirror - now I use BY and get 480K/sec downloads. :)

Be lucky,

Re: [gentoo-user] New Install Trouble w/ Boot and GCC Update

[Nicholas Pappas]

	It is not just the OKs that are missing -- it is the entire line that 
would normally display the OKs.  I'm using the same monitor (it is LCD) 
as I was using in my past install, but always received those lines in 
the past.
	When booting, I see that weird warning towards the end.  Here are the 
last 5 lines of my boot screen, before I get the login prompt:

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 212k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Adding 1028152k swap on /dev/sda3.  Priority:-1 extents:1
	That "Warning: unable to open initial console" seems awfully fishy to 
me.  I just have not clue why it is suddenly showing up or how to fix it 
(if it is indeed the problem).
	Everything appears to loading correctly.  My network, for example, is 
up and running -- despite the fact I never see the "OK" output telling 
my that the system is trying to bring it up, and has then succeeded.

Thanks for the help!

Re: [gentoo-user] New Install

[Douglas James Dunn]

I know this happened to me before.  though not an instillation problem
It happens to me a lot trying to emerge cups, its been forever ago but i
think it happened to me when i first installed the OS with cups.  with
cups a lot of the time it is indeed on the mirror though not in the
distfiles directory rather its on a different directory in the mirror.
maybe a symbolic link on the mirrors could fix that and others like it.
though i didn't look into this current example.  Though sometimes
increasing the mirror count with mirrorselect pulling in and using maybe
30 or 40 mirrors instead of 3, may help, especially when the mirrors
might be slightly out of sync with recent new versions and such.  It
shouldn't take any longer to mirrorselect it and the only real drawback
to 30 or 40 mirrors is a bigger make.conf file. you still get the
fastest at the front of the list when it does 404 you keep going to the
next mirror.

About the OK's are they just not there? like missing?  if your using an
lcd monitor I've noticed that sometimes when my monitor and previous

sometimes it displays the screen shifted to the left or to your case
possibly the right.  It sometimes cuts off the top 3-5 lines causing the
login prompt to not show on the screen or other things like that.  I

	Ubuntu.  Heard some good things about it, so I thought I would give it 
a try.  Guess I'll have to wait a few months for the next major release 
comes out to see if it will actually work for me.  :)   The trouble was 
the installer loading the 'sd_mod' module, which locked the installer up.

Why does it fail ( connection error ? , not found on server ? ) ? Are
you using the portage snapshot from the LiveCD , or have you downloaded
the current tree with emerge --sync ? Which LiveCD are you using
( 2004.3 ? ) ?
Are you using some sort of local mirror for downloading sources ?

   Maybe you could take a look at genkernel. Although it's a bit

have to edit the grub configuration file with the parameters provided by 
genkernel.

   About the kernel being corrupted, are you sure you are pointing grub 
to the right place? Maybe you have copied the wrong file? Don't worry 
about the size of the kernel, it depends on the things you compile into 
it, the more options you include, the bigger the kernel.

   Regards

Jose,

I am using a manual compilation. It creates the kernel and System.map.
I have set it up correctly with Grub just like the first compile that I did.
When I boot, it says the file is corrupt. Unfortunately, I am not near my
computer to see the exact message. The kernel is twice the size as the
original kernel. I even tried to compile with the orignal setting to get
a kernel that matched the original, but to no success.
Gracias,
Rob

   Manual compilation or using genkernel? What about error messages?

Check /usr/src/linux/arch/boot for bzImage. If /boot wasn't mounted when you generated 
it you will have to mount /boot and copy bzImage to /boot/whateveryouwanttocallit.

kernel is automatically created like bzImage and it can be found at
arch/$architeture/boot/
like below:
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
so just copy this file to /boot and don't forget to copy System.map too,
later just configure your boot loader and it's done :)

bzImage is in /usr/src/linux/boot/arch/ or something like that. You 
can also do a make install and have it put everything into place for you.

The first place to look is: Did you mount /boot and copy over the new
bzImage? A normal Gentoo system runs with /boot unmounted. I've also
heard noise that the latest genkernel doesn't mount /boot either.

Do you have ext2 built into the kernel?  (File Systems -> Second Extended
File System or something like that)?  Make sure it is in the kernel and not
a module. If it is not in the kernel, then your kernel will not recognize
the ext2 file system.  I have been burned on this a couple times with
reiserfs file systems...

I've gone through the initial build process, starting with mke2fs and a

Everything seems to go pretty much flawlessly until I get to point where I
reboot my system for the first time.  Now I have the error:

  kernel panic: ufs: unable to mount root fs on 03:41
I'm assuming 03:41 is the time stamp, since that matches.

The only ext2 filesystem is on /dev/hda1 (boot)  The only hd markers are
for (0,0) in grub.  (with the exception that I have root=/dev/hdb1 )
One thing that I noticed is that in the docs, grub.conf has a line:
  title=Gentoo Linux
but the grub.conf.sample file has
  title Gentoo Linux
I did try things with each configuration (one at a time...) but with no
effect.
So, does anyone have any thoughts as to what this error might mean, or
what's causing it?

I believe teh 3:41 is the device designation.  When I've seen that on my 
 SCSI it's something like 8:3.  It thinks the kernel is on device 3:41. 
 Was /boot mounted when you built the kernel and did you build the 
drivers for the boot device into the kernel?

seems to me that your kernel lacks builtin (i.e. not as a module)
support for your root filesystem. Please check your kernel configuration
and make sure the appropriate file system is marked as <*> (in
menuconfig) or =y (in .config)

I second that. It gives a considerable performance boost even on single 
processor systems. BTW, you also need to edit the linux-headers-2.6.0 ebuild 
to include your arch in the keywords. (the bootstrap mentions this) There's a 
fix for X as well. Also, at least earlier this week you also needed an 
unstable version of util-linux (2.12-r4).
  Has anyone tried nptl on a k6-2? My mother's desktop/home server has a k6-2 
400MHz and it's currently quite sluggish in KDE. I have a spare hd, and I 
just thought whether it would be worth it to make a new installation with 
nptl on it.

more or less yes, you have to do /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap26.sh so it 
install and compiles everything against 2.6 headers there is a fix for 
svgalib on bugs.gentoo.org i dont think you'll need it tho for a plain 
mailserver imho
its worth doing nptl tho it is s much better

Assuming you installed from a CD here is how you can change your
grub.conf file:

boot from CD
mount boot partition ala install instructions (e.g. mount /dev/hda3
/mnt/gentoo; mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot)
nano -w /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf

Hope that helps

mount /boot
edit with your favorite editor /boot/grub/grub.conf

that should solve all your problems

This may have been fixed by now, but the earlier 2.5.x/2.6.0_testn releases by 
default did not enable the right services to support logging on from a 
terminal!!!   Work through your .config very thoroughly.

I concur 2.6.0 works just fine - used it for 3 months befor e the actual 
release.

Merry Christmas...

and congratulation for coming to kernel 2.6.0 world...

things to be aware of in 2.6 is...
ALSA is built-in feature of kernel itself
and if you want to use 2.6 in gentoo,
you should enable some of old file system support in pseudo file system
section.

and

2.6 is workin' LOVELY!!!

just enjoy it ~:)

I am not sure where you are in the process, but if you can ping IPs but
not URLs, then look to your /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure that it
contains the proper DNS servers for your ISP.

If that is all right, then try emerge lynx -p. That will tell you
whether you have lynx installed. If not, remove the -p and it will be
downloaded and installed for you.

If you want X and a browser, then you should be able to do something
like emerge mozilla -p. This will list a long group of packages to be
emerged, including X. This assumes that you want to use mozilla of
course. You can see what other browsers are available in portage by
looking in the /usr/portage/net-www directory.

HTH.

Probably because you haven't emerged them yet. (At least one of them should be 
present on the LiveCD outside of the chroot, btw.) Assuming you're on x86, 
check out the installation guide[1] and desktop configuration guide[2] for 
more info on how to get networking and X. The FAQs[3,4] are useful resources 
as well.

I think this should be more or less "exactly" what you are after, please
comment on extra additions for it, its been around for long enough now
to get a "stable" stamp soon.
