OK, I'm writing this from an updated Gentoo VM running in Virtualbox |
| 26 |
on my (as yet) not updated Gentoo server. Things went well. The only |
| 27 |
semi-issue that came up for me so far was the rc-sys="" variable not |
| 28 |
being set. The way upgrade doc is written I had the impression that |
| 29 |
this only mattered if I was in a machine that ran VMs on it and not to |
| 30 |
be done in the VM itself. Seems that you really want rc_sys to be set |
| 31 |
for any Gentoo install I guess. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Not sure at this point how I'd tell if there was some other problem, |
| 34 |
but as far as a simple VM goes it only took about 15 minutes to |
| 35 |
complete the upgrade and it booted first time. |
| 36 |

Cheers, |
