 Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:18 pm Post subject: Changing kernels? |
 |
|
Hi I am using a Mac PPC and running off the live CD 2004.1. It is working OK and I got it to recognize my FW drive and everything, but now I am stuck. Here's what happened:
I started the install of the kernel with 'emerge ppc-development-sources,' only to get a build error on one of the USE tags (I think OSS or something, it probably doesn't matter...). I took off that flag and went back to emerge again, but this time I accidentally just did 'merge ppc-sources.' This build did not work either. Is it bad that I switched? Will I have to start all over?
When I tried to build this second kernel, I got a known error (perl failed), and the fix was to update gcc to 3.33. I ran 'merge gcc' and it went smoothly (except for the part that it takes four hours  ). I got the same problem AGAIN! And now I can't even run 'emerge ppc-development-sources' without it failing within the first 5 seconds. Does anyone have any advice? What is going on!?! |

I realize now that I didn't run 'emerge gcc-config' 
That might be the problem... I'm emerging the kernel now. Update in a bit.
UPDATE:
 No good. Still stuck, but I did manage to figure out how to look at all the emerge commands and options, and they are very very helpful! |

Can you post the actual error? That might help us figure out what's going wrong...

I will... if it doesn't work. I think I found the problem, thanks to IRC. I didn't mount /proc, and I think that might be what the problem was, but who knows... (it doesn't say to do that in the install instructions, or maybe I overlooked it ) Anyway, I'm emerging the kernel as we speak, and I will post the error if it emerges again! (hah! great pun! sorry!) |

Ugh this is bugging me so much. Same problem for anything I do.
Here is the message I get tying to compile (this time trying gentoo-dev-source):

This thing is baffling the crap out of me. |

yea, but can I do it from the live CD in commandline, so that I don't have to type it all out? I don't know how exactly to do this... |

This is the most curious thing ever... I did an emerge sync and it said to update portage. So I did emerge portage, and guess what happened?
THE SAME THING AS WITH THE KERNEL!
This just makes me sad. |

| I'd recommend starting over from the beginning. Make sure you follow all the directions exactly. I'm guessing you missed something BIG somewhere. |
