1 Hi all,
2
3 Time to come out of the closet so to speak. I've been fiddling with
4 Gentoo on my XLT (XL366).
5 I was having some moderate success with the 1.4rc1 stage1 but it
6 encountered some build errors along the way. Q: Is there a log file
7 where all the output of "emerge sync" goes?
8
9 So, then I poked around and saw that the 1.4 experimental stages were a
10 bit newer, so, I decided to try those. I didn't get as far. I also got
11 the "FATAL: kernel too old" error when I tried to do a "chroot" . Oh by
12 the way, I am currently running RH 6.2 with a 2.2.19 kernel (yes, old I
13 know).
14
15 So, it would seem there is something incompatible with the Stage1/LiveCD
16 and a running 2.2 kernel.
17 What would folks recommend using for a kernel to boot from instead?
18
19 I had one other problem with the 1.4rc1 install in that I couldn't do a
20 "mount --bind" . It said the operation wasn't supported by the kernel
21 (or something to that effect). How important is that? I just skipped it.
22
23 Looking forward to a running Gentoo system...
