I gots myself dependency problem. Could someone teach me about how to deal with dependencies in gentoo? This is the error I get:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999::gentoo (masked by: || ( ) linux-fw-redistributable no-source-code license(s), missing keyword)
A copy of the 'linux-fw-redistributable' license is located at '/var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/linux-fw-redistributable'.
A copy of the 'no-source-code' license is located at '/var/db/repos/gentoo/licenses/no-source-code'.

(dependency required by "sys-kernel/genkernel" [argument])
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |

in make.conf
OR
| Code: |
ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" emerge -av linux-firmware
|
There is not one unified way of dealing with slot conflicts.Each case is different requiring different course of action.You will learn these empirically,by reading portage output and trying to figure out the meaning and the cause.

Plz look up.
Either use make.conf or the oneshot solution.

The next error I got with the next command told me:
ERROR: --kernel-config file '/path/to/used/kernel.config' does not exist!
Yeah, I know replace 'path....' with the directory. But do they want the kernel I am running now or the gentoo kernel? |

Please make a habit of posting full emerge output.

What was the command?
You should have a file
| Code: |
/usr/src/linux/.config
|
This is where current kernel config is located.

You have to replace this with the location of .config
| Code: |
--kernel-config=/home/user/config #### for example
or
--kernel-config=/usr/src/<kernel-version>/.config
or
--kernel-config=/proc/config.gz ### to use the host machine's currently running kernel
|
Do you have a kernel .config some place?
If not you should start from scratch.
| Code: |
genkernel --menuconfig all
|
or something like that no?
OR
manually build the kernel
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make -j<n>
make modules_install
make install
|

What do you mean????
Have you already built the kernel?
What are you trying to do?
Install initramfs?
The kernel (vmlinuz-xxxxxxxxxxxxx) will be inside /boot

| I have been following the book and they just had us configure the kernel and now I am installing initramfs. But I guess I don't need initramfs because I only have / and /swap partitions on this incarnation. What I am planning on doing is building Gentoo onto a thumb drive so I can run my computer while I am building Gentoo onto my main computer (can't live without my computer!). |
