| Has anybody made any headway on that "bootstrap fails on glibc because of corrupt /dev/null" bug? |

Did /dev/null get corrupted when you extracted the stage tarball, or at some other point ?
Did you try to fix it yourself ?
| Code: | # rm -r /dev/null
# mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3 |

Can you provide more details about :
What hardware you are trying to install on ?
What installation medium are you using (Gentoo CD, KNOPPIX, PXEboot, etc.) ?
What version of the stage1 tarball are you using (x86-2004.2, amd64-, something else) ?
What steps did you do differently than the installation instructions (Gentoo is about choice, but some choices don't always work  ) ?
Posting the exact error message would be helpful too. |

| Code: | | # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev |
Did you do this, or something similar prior to entering the chroot ?
Normally, I would recommend not doing this because it screws-up sys-apps/baselayout , but who knows, it may fix the /dev/null problem you are having with sys-libs/glibc . |

| I've got this when I was trying to install from Knoppix. Finally I downloaded and burned the Gentoo LiveCD. No such troubles with it. |

What exactly do you mean by this? Wouldn't this be just switching from one error to another? |

I am just wondering if this (bindmounting /dev) would get around the problem of /dev/null getting corrupted. |
