If you really use ipv6 and need some more information about it, see neddys ipv6 wiki page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:NeddySeagoon/IPv6

I am using IP ver 4 (DHCP) on my Host computer. On the guest side as well, Gentoo is on Virtual Box. It is connected with NAT. Other Virtual Machines are working fine.

Maybe take a look into these threads and edit /etc/gai.conf

P.S.: As far as I remember you configure your kernel yourself manually ... so, if you dont want/use IPv6 (like me) then disable it completely in your kernel configuration (*) AND deselect the use-flag "ipv6" in your make.conf with:

Thanks a lot "pietinger" for your valuable reply. Appreciate it. Yes to understand the kernel manual configuration I try to use it . I did not select the IPV6. I think it was the default configuration. I have also disabled IPv 6 from " /etc/portage/make.conf "

then apply command

The most common reason why you cannot disable IPv6 in the kernel is if you have systemd enabled (check the help for this option):

Thanks "pietinger" for the reply. Well as to your valuable guidance I disable "ipv6" from the Kernel side. Unfortunately during #grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg command accidently a keyboard key was press which stop my process .Resultantly my Virtual machine was crashed.
Fortunately their was a clone of same machine and I try the same thing with it. I had spent time but was unable to fix issue. ipv6 is disable at /etc/portage.make.conf and from kernel too .Still i am unable to fix the issue

1. Your error message tells me that you are using a kernel with IPv6 support (maybe you are not booting the kernel you think you boot).

2. You can disable systemd in the kernel configuration AND use systemd IF you enable every option you will need for systemd yourself (except ipv6). Check again every option which WOULD be enabled automatically (see again in the <Help> of the systemd-option OR my previous post).

3. What happens if you use emerge-webrsync ?

4. I have found an old bug report for 89.238.71.6 ->

Yes, I also think...It may be...The critical part was to install the manual kernel ....and then grub installation...The reason is
When I used applying the command it was

gardenair,

... I dont know where to start ... so maybe it is a little bit chaotic ... :lol:

0. Yes, in "dmesg" I see you have booted the Gentoo dist-kernel and not your manually configured one.

1. grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg IS CORRECT ... even you will get a warning

(If you would had read my article ... AND ... followed some links in it ... you WOULD have read also:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1165115-highlight-.html
Here you would have found that the 1st part of grub is \efi\gentoo\grubx64.efi and the 2nd part resides in /boot/grub)

pietinger: I appreciate you and the direction you are guiding me. As for I move ahead there is new learning of Gentoo. I am spending much time digesting what points you wrote to guide me. I am personally very much thankful to you.

Well, I act according to your points , but there is a little ambiguity which I want to clear 1st let me tell you what I have done.

Note:- After reboot, these are the screen shorts.
See the

1- https://ibb.co/D7xHgtK
2- https://ibb.co/q98zRCn
3- https://ibb.co/frj3jb9

Please see my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file

https://bpa.st/TODQ

As you wrote.In /boot/grub/grub.cfg there should be an entry in section 10 So how may I search various sections just kike you mentioned "section 10 ". (I know this is beyond the scope of my query. It is C or C++ coding but if you guide me would be thankful).

gardenair,

first of all, thank you very much for your kind words.

I believe that everything is fine with you now ... the last problem is now "only" the selection of your kernel as soon as you see the grub after a system start: Press <ESC> (as soon as you see grub; you have only 5 seconds) and check the menu that now appears: Then select your kernel 6.6.30 - NOT the 6.6.30-dist.

Well, thanks. Yes, I think I am very close to my solution. As to your instruction

pietinger · Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2024 10:36 pm Post subject:

Good, you have now booted your manually configured kernel ... now let's go deep:

You have not only installed gentoo-sources, but also our gentoo dist-kernel. This dist-kernel only works with an initramfs, which is created automatically ... because you have activated the use-flag "dracut" for the package "installkernel" ... which unfortunately ensures that a "make install" does a little more than we need for our manually configured kernel: namely to build an initramfs for it as well.

So that you can experience success as quickly as possible, I would like to give you a list of commands to bypass all this (for the sake of simplicity, I will also install the latest 6.6 kernel with you, namely 6.6.36):

1. Boot your (old) dist-kernel (=reboot and no selection in grub)

2. Do all this (as root):

pietinger bundle of Thanks

You try your level best to help me out with the issue.

Well Genoo gave me linux-6.6.35 from the web. In your case, it was linux-6.6.36 so I followed Gentoo's instructions. All steps were down successfully and there was no single error. See below the last steps
https://ibb.co/hM5ZKmk
After rebooting in the advanced menu from grub I can't see linux-6.6.36 option to boot from it. It is the same old position.

I learned a lot on this journey and enjoyed it with you. I know how much deep I have to go but I am willing to understand things.
If I recall my installation steps, the only part which was very hard for me was how to install the kernel. Automatically (Binary) which is very simple and the other is manual. In the handbook things are mixup ....(May be my understanding is poor at this point of Kernel Installation ) . As you mentioned

pietinger · Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2024 10:29 pm Post subject:

First of all: I dont think you have done something wrong ... I made a mistake (or grub-mkconfig has changed something in the past) ->

As you can see in the output you have gotten from "grub-mkconfig" that there was no line with "Found linux image: /boot/bzImage-6.6.35" ... so, I think the grub-mkconfig nowadays search only for "kernel-*" ... This is no problem: We give it what it wants:
