1 Dear Gentoo-users,
2
3 I want to install gentoo on my brand new quadcore, following the amd64
4 handbook install manual. $emerge gentoo-sources fails:
5
6 >>> Preparing to unpack ...
7 ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /*G??Zn?W??%??

9 Where ? is actually a white quadrangle..

13 /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7/tmp/environment:
14 line 1: blabla (unreadable): Permission denied, and next an unexpected
15 EOF message.

19 an error on ebuild.sh line 1641.

21 I discovered that the tmp/environment file seems to contain some
22 binary data at the first four rows.
23
24 $ dmesg
25
26 shows a lot of weird characters, and after that I can't use this
27 console anymore.
28
29 Also the /var/log/sandbox/sandbox-?????.log file seems to contain binary data.
30
31 What's going on?
32
33 My system is a Q9300 and I use two similar disks in raid-1 (/boot) and
34 raid-0 (/).
35
36 My problems seem to be identical to the ones mentioned here:
37 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236641
38
39 BTW, irc.freenode.org doesn't seem to be alive, is it down?
40
41 Thanks in advance!
