 |
|
Hi fellas,
I just got my new AMD 64 system and I thought I had done everything correctly until it was time to emerge grub. It told me that my compiler does not support 32-bit code, and that I should make sure I compiled gcc with USE=multilib FEATURES=-sandbox
Well, I didn't do this. Is this a bad thing? Do I have to start completely over to do finish the install? I am really urgent for some help here so any info is REALLY appreciated. This computer needs to work by tomorrow or the day after, so I am very sorry for my frankness.
Again, I REAAAALY appreciate any help.

I appreciate your fast response!
Only problem is that I did all of this and my computer doesn't boot the drive now. I must have done something wrong with grub.
I just installed grub-static and then configured grub like I was told to in the install guide.
I even set my HD to the first boot device, so something is going wrong with my install of grub.
I saw this message about putting something about k8 in the make.conf file - but that was AFTER I finished the install and checked the forums 
Why didn't it mention this in the darned instruction manual? And is there any way to get around this without completely starting over?
On 32 bit I never had these problems - any help is SO greatly appreciated, thanks again!!

It would be a wise idea to post ur system specs
my use flags , keywords and cflags (gcc 3.4):
| Code: |
USE="gtk2 nptl multilib nls unicode kde -apache2 -xfs -jfs -apache avi -ipv6 arts -esd dvdr xvid f$
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fweb -frename-registers -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
|
i use reiserfs for a year without any problems
I hope u can use grub, it must be something like
(i assume ur root is on first partition of first boot drive)
| Code: | #grub
root (hd0,0)
install (hd0) |
thats my grub.conf entry for gentoo
| Code: |
title Gentoo
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 apic video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,mtrr vga=0x518
|
I hope this helps. |

Doh, too late. I already dumped everything out and started over.
I will keep in mind the things you said though for when I run into my issues again.
My system specs:
MSI K8N Neo Motherboard (nForce 350gb)
Athlon 64 3200+
512mb DDR 3500 RAM
/dev/hda = 80gb
/dev/hdb = 60gb
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 = LG 8x CD Burner |
