No. You are warned that Portage may not work properly with the Kconfig options you have. You then get an error when pam fails to build. The pam error does not appear to be connected to the Kconfig checks.
You cannot umount swap, but you can swapoff it. |

What did you boot from? This was a 1 GB swap partition. My guess is that the OS has it automatically "mounted" (not really mounted) as swap. Try:
| Code: | | swapoff -v /dev/sdd3 |
But, if you really re-did the partitions, you may need to reboot from your boot media.

I'm using the MX Linux livecd... I actually got swapoff to work, partitions redone, reformatted, now I'm ready to do a fresh install! |

Ok, we're slowly, but surely getting there... I have another problem now, I configured/compiled the kernel, but I can't get it to copy over to /boot/...
| Code: | # make install
sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 5.15.26-gentoo \
arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
cat: write error: No space left on device
make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:262: install] Error 1
|
I followed the guide in the handbook for partition sizes, etc... Not sure why it's saying this, unless I didn't allocate enough space, but there should be plenty... |

Let's see your new partition layout (from the chroot) and a couple of other things; output of:
cat /etc/fstab
df
lsblk
fdisk -l /dev/sdd
ls -l /boot
How do you plan to boot?

Absolutely!
| Code: | # cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#
# NOTE: Even though we list ext4 as the type here, it will work with ext2/ext3
# filesystems. This just tells the kernel to use the ext4 driver.
#
# NOTE: You can use full paths to devices like /dev/sda3, but it is often

Well, sdd1 is very small (too small) and set to be EFI. Also, your kernel seems very large, much larger than mine. It sounds like you are not going to use EFI, in which case you don't really need a separate /boot partition. I would suggest deleting the sdd1 partition for now, put boot into the system root.
Everything in your /etc/fstab is commented out.
Are you other disks also MBR? Mine are. If I've made some wrong assumptions, ignore me.

Well, I'm not sure if I will use EFI or not, I hear it's better some way... Of course, this system is getting some age on it. So I'm not sure if it's even possible to use with this system. I know the other drive I boot from is MBR (I think, I actually need to investigate that.).
My kernel is probably too large, but I'm not sure how to reduce it in size, I probably have far too much built into it... Back in the day, I used Pappy's seeds, but I don't think that's a thing anymore |

Pappy's seeds are still two major and sticky threads in the forums here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum-f-51.html
You can overcome a lot of the hard part in the beginning by emerging sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin. This will get you up and running and you can work on a custom kernel once a system is up and running.
Your system BIOS setup will show you whether EFI/uEFI/UEFI is even an option. Unless you are already using UEFI, I don't recommend it at this point. UEFI booting and GPT drive partitioning kind of go hand-in-hand like BIOS booting and MBR partitioning go hand-in-hand. But, this is a tangential thing to getting your new Gentoo system installed.

IIRCis one of them.
Most packages installing in /lib/modules/x.y.z-alphanumeric/ should check matching kernel config file settings prior to building, when well designed.may be another I'm aware of.
Both with activated | Code: | | CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS |
as source of build failure: | Code: | * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... [ ok ]
* Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
* CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS: should not be set. But it is. |
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. |
Check, yes, but fail to build? I rarely have a kernel config in place and have never perceived a problem (lucky me I guess?). But I don't have vhba or r8168 (I did have one system with a realtek NIC, but not in current use). Based on my experience, it seemed that programs compile successfully despite having only partial or no functionality until the kernel settings were enabled. If not, then I've checked the "learn something new" box for he day.

I appreciate all the help you're providing... I've hit a major snag, though... I realized that I don't boot efi, I use a bios boot... So I redid my partitions for bios boot, but when I tried to install grub, it failed, because it was looking for efi. So, should I start over, reformat the /root drive, and get the install working that way? Or is it easier just to fix what I have to use bios boot?
I do have to apologize, I don't have any time during the week to work on this, so my time is a little limited. |

If that means you have either:
- a free space at beginning (=before the first partition) of minimum 2048 KB (2MB), OR
- an extra partitions (not mounted) for grub2 AND set "bios_grub" flag. PARTED: "set X bios_grub on" (Alternatively, you can use gdisk and set its type code to EF02)
?
THEN ...

Be sure you have in your /etc/portage/make.conf: GRUB_PLATFORMS="pc"

If it doesnt work, it is (always) helpful togive us the exact error message.

No need to apologize ... we will answer also when we have time

There shouldn't be any need to start over. Let us know what your NEW partition layout is like (and a few other things) you did back on 3/13. i.e.
cat /etc/fstab
df
lsblk
fdisk -l /dev/sda (added)
fdisk -l /dev/sdd
ls -l /boot
emerge -pv sys-boot/grub (added)

This one I omitted, as I did make some changes, re-emerged Grub and got it to install properly, without error... I am including the grub.cfg output, I am fuzzy on how to make the proper Grub entry for Windows booting (sda). I would also like to note that I installed the genkernel to get up and running, and will at a later time build a custom kernel as per your advice.
Thanks again for all the help!

If you are using grub-mkconfig to setup /boot/grub/grub.cfg, add the following:
| Code: | | GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false |
to /etc/default/grub
This will cause "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" os-prober to find and setup all other bootable OSes. You will need to emerge sys-boot/os-prober for this to work if you don't already have it. This usually works.

Ok, got it to work, now I am able to boot into Windows 10, and 7 (didn't realize that I still had a bootable Windows 7 lol).
Attempted to boot the kernel, but it was unsuccessful. I was able to get a pic of the screen with my phone, but I can't post it on the forum, and I'm not sure what image sharing site is acceptable to use here, but it failed to boot while attempting to load removable discs that aren't there, then gave me an option of "repair filesystem#".
I will remind, I did use genkernel with the hopes of getting up and running, then I plan on building a custom kernel.
Thanks
Todd |

Well done.
Take any removable disks out of the /etc/fstab (if there are any), or alternatively, connect them. Beware of "repairing the filesystem." If you put an image somewhere, be sure to post the full URL and not some short version. Many of us won't click on funky looking links.

todd93,
Nothing that needs a sign in. Many users prefer to avoid Java too.
Youtube works if we need to see several screen fulls scroll.
However videos are a bit hit and miss due to the 30Hz video frame rate and asynchronous screen update.
If you get a kernel panic, tell us the full text. Its one line above the register dump.
Something like
Kernel Panic! Unable to mount root filesystem ... unknown-block(x,y) x and y are important here.
or
Kernel Panic! Tried to kill init.
Or even Loading initrd .... Then no more. That's becoming popular.

Thank you all for the kind help... I will link to the image hosted at imgbb, if the link poses a problem, please let me know. I will also have a look at my fstab to see if there could be a minor problem there, my guess is that it's probably one line that I overlooked.

todd93,
The kernel and initrd loaded. Something failed and its dropped you to the busybox shell in the initrd.
Ignore the prompt. Repairing Filesystem is the last thing to try. It often does more harm than good.
We really needed to see several screenfuls above. A video may or may not help.
Meanwhile, use that shell to look around. Maybe we can work out what went wrong?
What is your root device?
Does it appear in
Depending an what it is you way need to look in subdirectories.
Is it mounted?
orwill show it if so.
If its not mounted, can you mount it by hand somewhere?
busybox mount requires the -t option to give the filesystem type.
If its mounted, does it look like a root filesystem or possibly its your /boot?

A video I can do, I'll have to boot into the live media I'm using and chroot in to provide the rest of the info, so bear with me!

Something happened that has caused /dev/sdd3 to be unmountable... I'm not sure what, but observe:
| Code: | # mount /dev/sdd3 /mnt/gentoo
mount: /mnt/gentoo: cannot mount; probably corrupted filesystem on /dev/sdd3. |
This is output from the LiveCD that I'm using, trying to mount the drive in order to chroot in. I'm not sure what I could have done to have caused this error, as I was only messing with Grub and got it to fully install, and work properly. |

todd93,
There is not a lot useful there. At 18 sec there is a frame that contains | Quote: | | You might want to save /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.tet to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report. |
Ahh ... just before that at 4.301704 in the boot is | Code: | | EXT4-fs (sdd3): VFS: Found ext4 filesystem with invalid superblock checksum. Run e2fsck? |
Is /dev/sdd3 your Gentoo root filesystem?
Is it supposed to be ext4?
If the answers are yes and yes, boot the live media and run
As there are backup superblocks, if the others are OK, that will fix it. If not, your root is not recoverable.
fsck is generally dangerous as when its faced with an inconsistency, it has to guess which information is correct. hence, it can make a bad situation worse.
In your case, it's the superblock that's the first problem, that's relatively safe to allow it to fix. Notice I say 'first' there may be other problems too.
There is no undo. If sdd3 contains valuable data, you need to make an image of it before you let fsck loose.
We could also try to mount /dev/sdd3 manually, using a backup superblock. If it works, that will fix the primary superblock, which is where your problem is.

Ok, appears to have worked, it mounted fine after that... The answers were "yes" to both questions on ext4... I'm going to boot the kernel again... Stay tuned! |

| Ok, that was successful, I've booted into the new kernel, and after changing net.eth0 to net.enp4s0, I have internet capability! I'm going to attempt to install a desktop environment and try to get this install done! Now I can ssh in from my phone and finish this! |
