Something is apparently wrong. First of all bootstrap (or a script started by |
| 37 |
bootstrap) shouldn't merge that x86 kernel but a ppc kernel (2.4.19). But |
| 38 |
apparently the problem is not happening using the kernel but unpacking it?!?, |
| 39 |
could you test if you're able to download the kernel yourself and unpack it |
| 40 |
using the system you've got now? Maybe the kernel you downloaded is not |
| 41 |
correclty downloaded... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I've looked into the problem and fixed some things in portage. An x86 kernel |
| 44 |
shouldn't definately be merged again using the new portage. I've temporarily |
| 45 |
masked all kernels that aren't ppc patched. I think the best thing you could |
| 46 |
do is start installing gentooppc again and look if your problems are still |
| 47 |
there. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I've also created two gentoo-ppc mailinglists for those interested in |
| 50 |
gentoo-ppc: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
gentooppc-dev@×××××××.dk |
| 53 |
gentooppc-announce@×××××××.dk |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
to subscribe email: gentooppc-dev-subscribe@×××××××.dk and/or |
| 56 |
gentooppc-announce@×××××××.dk |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Instructions can be obtained from gentooppc-dev-help@×××××××.dk or |
| 59 |
gentooppc-announce-help@×××××××.dk |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
We're working on rsync access to gentooppc.sunsite.dk. (To be exact: I'm just |
| 62 |
waiting for sunsite.dk support to install a simple (5 line) script into their |
| 63 |
crontab. I don't know what exactly they are doing that takes so long... must |
| 64 |
be they are figuring out how to use cron.) |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Updated build/iso (with cvs merged in and updated locations) are available |
| 67 |
for download from http://gentooppc.sunsite.dk |
