OK, I went back to the handbook install process. I should have used a stage3 |
18 |
but I did not. Builing a kernel using menuconfig the Nvidia MCP51, which |
19 |
was already preselected, I think that the issue of the a correct driver |
20 |
is solved? Not really sure until I get the kernel to boot. |

I used a stage 1 and got all the way to installing grub before |
23 |
the install stalled. |
24 |
|
25 |
Here's the grub error when (page 10 for amd64) I entered |
26 |
'emerge grub' |
27 |
|
28 |
rm: cannot remove '/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r3/image/bin': |
29 |
Funciont not implemented |
30 |
|
31 |
then it repeats for .../image/lib .../image/usr and so no. |
32 |
|
33 |
Maybe one of the partions is not rw? The other emerges along the |
34 |
way ran fine. I did issue a |
35 |
'etc-update' just before 'emerge grub'. Maybe that caused |
36 |
the problem for the chrooted environment? |
37 |
|
38 |
Any ideas? |
39 |
Should I just trash the install and start over? |
40 |
This is frustrating because except for using a stage 1 tarball |
41 |
and issuing a questionable 'etc-update' I verbosely followed |
42 |
the handbook installation process. |
