I'm a bit late into this thread, but I built my own from a kit available
here in Australia.
It's a design from a local magazine called Silicon Chip, and retails
through a few places, like DSE Altronics (www.altronics.com.au)
Hi all,
I see that emerge has a resume option - but it only compiles from where
the the previous emerge was stopped and when you issue a resume, it
starts at the beginning of the next package to be emerged.
Is it possible to get emerge to continue from where the actual compile
was broken
Excellent!
thanks a lot, I will give it a go.

I'm attempting to install Gentoo with the GUI livecd 2006 utility, and
I'm installing it on a laptop which was dual booting happily with debian
winxp.
I wiped the debian installation, and carefully made sure that Gentoo
wasn't going to wipe out the winxp partition which is the first. I made

I think I read somewhere that JFS needs to be booted rw instead of ro.
Try to change your kernel= line to this:
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda2 rw
*NOTE* the above should be ONE line.
P.S. Why

Did you try to boot from the livecd, or another boot cd, and see if
you can even mount your JFS partition?
Jim
Yes I have. It mounts fine when using the livecd to boot from. I can
read/write to it no problem, and all the file structure is there.
I've

I am not a genkernel user but couldn't you boot the machine like this,
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2
This will test if it's a kernel problem

Can you build a kernel? I could build a kernel for you with JFS

Or see if you can use a boot CD to boot, then chroot to your JFS drive
and build your own kernel.

How long did it take you to build a kernel? It seemed pretty fast
since I emailed you.
An easy fix for your kde probs is to use Gome : )

Damn quick I must say - about 15 mins. This laptop is a PentiumM 1.8.
Gentoo boots damn fast too.
My KDE probs seems to be improving,
