1 Hi,
2
3 I just installed the x686 rc5 iso. After running initscripts-install I
4 installed the linux-source package but did not recompile the kernel at this
5 point. Finished with grub setup.
6
7 Gentoo booted but I have the following two issues.
8
9 1. No modules will load. Missing symbols.
10 I recompiled the kernel but still had the same problems. depmod -a built a
11 modules.dep file but complained about missing symbols. I've build linux
12 kernels on several other distro's without encountering this problem. Worked
13 around it by downloading 2.4.6 from kernel.org. Modules now load OK.
14
15 2. /usr/portage is an empty directory. Therefore, the /etc/make.profile
16 symlink is broken. I can't install packages from the CD. What files are
17 supposed to be in /usr/portage other than the packages subdir?
18
19 thanks,
