Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am going through the procedure of installin Gentoo |
| 4 |
Linux on my hppa box, which is a 785/B2000 Visualize |
| 5 |
workstation. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have gone through the instructions in order and am |
| 8 |
now trying to run "genkernel all" since I haven't got |
| 9 |
enough experience to decide about the options in |
| 10 |
manual kernel configuration. Anyway, when I issue the |
| 11 |
command "genkernel all" I get an error message |
| 12 |
complaining about that a .config file is either not |
| 13 |
specified or not found. It is obvious that I am |
| 14 |
supposed to supply a .config file to genkernel. The |
| 15 |
question is how I do that and/or what step in the |
| 16 |
process I have omitted. Reviewing the guidelines I |
| 17 |
have gone through doesn't tell me what step I missed. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
BTW I am using a Universal CD to install from. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What I have done (referring to Gentoo handbook): |
| 22 |
4. Preparing the disks (>16MB boot, 1500MB ext3 for |
| 23 |
/var, 500MB for swap and remaining up to 9100MB ext3 |
| 24 |
as a fourth partition). |
| 25 |
5. Installing the installation files |
| 26 |
6. Installing the Gentoo Base system |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The steps "Code Listing 7: Verifying system profile", |
| 29 |
"Code Listing 8: Finding out if an additional profile |
| 30 |
exists" and "Code Listing 9: Switching to a 2.4 |
| 31 |
profile" make me a bit unsuer, but my intention is to |
| 32 |
stay with 2.6 which seems to be the default and |
| 33 |
recommended. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I have also run "emerge genkernel" without complaints |
| 36 |
from the system. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Can anybody put me on track again? I would appreciate |
| 39 |
it alot. |

Best regards and thanks in advance |
