I tried this. I unpacked the stage3 tarball just like I would for a new |
| 33 |
install, in /mnt/gentoo of course. I set it up just enough to where I |
| 34 |
could try and emerge glibc and just see if it would complete or if it |
| 35 |
would fail. It failed. It seems to me that while it may be complaining |
| 36 |
about the kernel version, something else is really the issue. I'm using |
| 37 |
the latest kernel so it can't be that. I also installed linux-headers |
| 38 |
and tried again, still failed. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I also checked on the locale,gen file. It is the wrong file type within |
| 41 |
the tarball. It shows up as GENESIS rom there as well instead of a |
| 42 |
plain text file. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
It seems to me that the stage3 tarball is broke. I'm not sure what else |
| 45 |
to try at this point. When the source is broke, it's sort of hard to |
| 46 |
fix the rest. |

Where to go from here? |
