Hello, |

Previously I had a long thread going about resizing an NTFS partition. |
4 |
Without success, I decide to just reformate and leave a 30 gig NTFS |
5 |
partition at the beginning of the drive. I'll worry about XP later. |

I started (this) new thread about debugging the amd64 installation(my first). |
9 |
I just used the amd64(experimential) livecd to attempt an installation. |
10 |
|
11 |
I went throught the menu and all seemed fine. |
12 |
|
13 |
Here's where it failed: |
14 |
<snip> |
15 |
Make.conf configured |
16 |
Chroot environment ready. |
17 |
Portage tree sync'd |
18 |
MARK |

Stating bootstrap. |

Exception received during 'Performing bootstrap: Stage 1ERror: FATAL: stage1: |
21 |
Boostrapping failed! |
22 |

24 |
File "/opt/installer/GLIArchitetureTemplate.py" line 224, in stage1 |
25 |
|
26 |
I guess I know why the livedCD for amd64 is under experimental? |
27 |
|
28 |
|
29 |
Should I just follow the instructions, the old fashion way, in the Gentoo |
30 |
Handbook for amd64 or is a an installation(menu) system that works? |
31 |
|
32 |
The only place I really had a question was when the installation CD asked |
33 |
for the URl of the stage one tarball. I gave it: |
34 |
http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/experimental/amd64/vserver/ |
35 |
stage1-amd64-20060317.tar.bz2 |
36 |
|
37 |
Any better/more_current stage 1 tarballs to use? |
38 |
|
39 |
Should I have chosen another option other than the stage1 tarball? |
