 |
|
Hi,
I got a AlphaServer 1000A (EV4 4/266) and previously I had the problem installing 1.4rc1:
merge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy: >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.36
came eventually after running scripts/bootstrap.sh for stage 1 installation.
After that I went for stage1-alpha-20040313.tar.bz2 from 'experimental/alpha/stages' location. Now it's giving a number of 'error like' lines, mostly with:
/dev/null: no such file or directory
/dev/null/ebuilds.sh: no such file or directory
and 100s of
./configure: line184: /dev/null: No such file or directory
and finally:
/bin/sh: line 1: /dev/null: No such file or directory
KERNELRELEASE "2.4.21" exceeds 64 characters
make: *** [include/linux/version.h] Error 1
!!! ERROR: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21 failed.
!!! Function kernel_universal_unpack, Line 97, Exitcode 2
!!! make include/linux/version.h failed
Any idea what how to fix that?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi there,
I ran into the same problem just before. The problem is, as you've noticed, that /dev is empty. So I fetched both "stage1-alpha-20040225.tar.bz2" and "stage1-alpha-20040313.tar.bz2", unpacked the older version and then the newer one. Since 0225 has the apropriate /dev-files they remain when I unpack 0313.
I'm still compiling the kernel so I'm unable to tell you atm what the results are but it _should_ be fine...

| I had the same problem with the 2004.0 disk, but I used the 1.4 CD and so far so good. |

I sloved the problem with /dev by mounting devfs:
| Code: | | mount -t devfs none /mnt/gentoo/dev |
