Hi,
When I run a revdep-rebuild or emerge totem I get an access violation
error when the system tries to compile totem.
Anyone knows what could be wrong?

However, there's some advantage in using one:
1) Can use a different fs than /.
2) Can be shared by different installations/distributions.
3) Allows to encrypt (and/or use LVs for) everything else.

But that is strange, because kernel just booted from CD,

Unfortunately, it's the BIOS that does this. The kernel cannot boot by
itself by some magical means. The BIOS must boot it.

1) Set your laptop to shutdown gracefully when power drops below 3%.
2) Use ext2 for /usr/portage, it's fast and the journalling is
unnecessary overhead.

Comments for this thread have been helpfu. I have done a test install
