Hi List, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Since a few days i'm trying to install gentoo on a kvm guest from edis.at. |
| 4 |
They support to boot from a gentoo minimal live-cd in order to install your |
| 5 |
own gentoo. The system has 5GB storage and 256MB ram. Actually that |
| 6 |
should be enough for a minimal installation. However, till now i couldn't get |
| 7 |
over that point where i'm trying to install the kernel sources... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The partition of the hd looks like this right now: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
64MB /boot |
| 12 |
256MB swap |
| 13 |
~4,3GB / |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Swap is active and i also made sure there are enough inodes on / (i had to |
| 16 |
raised them). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Even though there is enough space and 256mb ram + 256mb swap should |
| 19 |
be enough ram i can't install (copy) the kernel sources. They just stop |
| 20 |
suddenly. There is nothing in the build.log. Last view lines are: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
>>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-ac97.c |
| 23 |
>>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-pcm.c |
| 24 |
>>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa-ssp.c |
| 25 |
>>> /usr/src/linux-3.10.7-gentoo/sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-i2s.c |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
However i'll get errors in dmesg and it seems i'll get out of memory while |
| 28 |
installing: |

Any idea what i can do here, except buying an better kvm? From the docs |
| 44 |
256MB should be fine so i don't know why it doesn't work? |
| 45 |

thx |
