 |

Hi folks!
First of all, I'm no Gentoo Newbie. I'm installing this wonderful distribution on everything that doesn't run away fast enough (and happily computers aren't that good runners), but I guess this time it's been one time too much.
I am installing on this Duron 800 box over SSH, stage1, 1.4 LiveCD. I'm using DistCC, so this installation is supported by a Athlon XP 2400+. Now, the mistake I made was to go shopping during bootstrap. When I came home I had to find out that the WLAN connection of my notebook (that one with the SSH client controlling the installation) died. So what happened was, the bootstrap process lost its terminal and died.
Okay, shouldn't be that bad, just chroot again, env-update, source profile and voila... that's the error message:

This is just evil. I have no clue how to fix this and don't want to start all over again. Is there a simple solution to that problem?

Did you correctly remount all your target partitions?
Is there space left in /var/tmp?
You could try changing tmpdir with
| Code: | | export PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/wherever/you/want" |
Hope this will help..
Goodluck

No need, the target box did not reboot.

About 9.6 Gigs.

Doesn't work, same error message. Looks like the variable gets overwritten somewhere in bootstrap.sh.

Okay, after | Code: | | rm -rf -- /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-* |
I can start bootstrapping again, although the "Invalid or unset record" messages at the beginning still appear. I'll play around a bit and try to get rid of them.

Did you find a solution for your problem? When trying to bootstrap I receive this error:

Already tried to export PORTAGE_TMPDIR to another directory... no use. I also set in make.conf but no result.
Anybody has an idea ?
Thanks in advance,

I must be doing something wrong since I am the only one having this problem. I reread the complete handbook and even tried the 2004.0 stages with no luck...
Can anybody tell me what I forgot?
These are the last steps of what I did with a minimal 2004.1 Livecd...
- chrooting works fine, I did all the mounts described in the handbook
- then I changed my /etc/make.conf and used the following:
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe"
(I don't think these are to aggresive, I used them till now with the 1.4 release)
Since the default mirror didn't respond, I added this entry
SYNC="rsync://rsync1.no.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
- emerge synced
- cd /usr/portage
- scripts/bootstrap.sh
then I have the above error...
Am I overseeing something? Please tell me... |

Can anybody tell me what I forgot?
These are the last steps of what I did with a minimal 2004.1 Livecd...
- chrooting works fine, I did all the mounts described in the handbook
- then I changed my /etc/make.conf and used the following:
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe"
(I don't think these are to aggresive, I used them till now with the 1.4 release)
Since the default mirror didn't respond, I added this entry
SYNC="rsync://rsync1.no.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
- emerge synced
- cd /usr/portage
- scripts/bootstrap.sh
then I have the above error...

I would try to start from the beginning again! Delete your whole partition and start again.. (shouldnt take that long anyway)
Am I overseeing something? Please tell me... |

Hi guys, I solved it ...
I reformatted the partition plenty times before ... that didn't work out either.
But there could be two reasons:
Now I downloaded the universal livecd instead of the minimal and used the stage1 provided on this cd.
I also used mirrorselect this time instead of copying my old SYNC value.
But how come this solved it... isn't this a bug?
Bootstrapping as we speak
Cheers,
Ronald |

The issue was solved using the stage provided on the universal cd, thus also the packages which where out-of-date.
Reformatting didn't solve the issue either. Finnaly, I tried looking it up on bugzilla and found the answer over there. In /usr/portage/portage.py comment out the two lines with the word missingos and bootstrap will continue as normal.
What are these two lines for? Why aren't they removed from portage system? Is it an issue for our bughunting day?
Regards,
Ronald |
