Dear Alpha list, |

My hard drive crashed, so I'm trying to reinstall from scratch. |
| 4 |
When I get to the emerge gentoo-sources step, it seems to go all the |
| 5 |
way, then ends with a status 1 exit message. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The log files do not indicate the reason for failure, just that it |
| 8 |
happens. |
| 9 |
During the installation, it throws up some errors about econfdir and |
| 10 |
/dev/fd/62 doesn't exist (I don't have it written down handy). I'm |
| 11 |
thinking that happened before (when it worked) and didn't matter. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have tried several times. I've wiped the drive between tries, changed |
| 14 |
my mirror list, changed profile... no luck. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I looked at the file date for the kernel source on a mirror. It's |
| 17 |
pretty old, so it should be the same as what worked before. |
| 18 |
I'm wondering about the ebuild, but I don't how such things work. It |
| 19 |
worked fine a couple weeks ago. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Any suggestions about how to figure out the problem? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I imagine that emerging gentoo-sources is best, but could I just |
| 24 |
download a 3.7.10 tgz file from www.kernel.org and make one that way? |

Adios, DW |
