| Neddy, I did check the MD5 sum for the stage 2 tarball. This time it looks like umount is missing (I can't remember if that's the right name, but I genkernel comes out with "could not unmount initrd system"). When genkernel started, it complained about dmesg and ps being missing, too. I don't remember issuing rm for anything other than to delete a symlink. There seems to be other stuff missing in my /mnt/gentoo/bin (ping is one, not sure what else though). |

Nylex,
From outside the (with your partitions mounted) chroot do
| Code: | cd /mnt/gentoo
tar -cf etc.tar etc/ |
That should save all your config files into etc.tar in case you want to reuse them.
Then untar the stage 2 again.
Check that you have the mount and umount commands before you go on.
You recover individual files from etc.tar with
| Code: | | tar -xpf etc.tar <file.name> |
x==extract
p==preserve permissions
f==tar file name
etc.tar == archive name,
<file.name> file to recover e.g. make.conf
/usr/portage/distfiles should be preserved but you will need to emerge sync again.

This is getting silly  . I followed the steps to put all the config file in etc.tar, that was ok. Then I extracted my stage2 tarball again, but it finished with "tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors". I checked the MD5 sum for the tarball again, but it's definitely correct. I have mount in /mnt/gentoo/bin, but still no umount, so I've just copied it from /bin. Apparently the kernel compiled successfully, so I'll go on with the installation now.
Edit: more problems with missing stuff. I just did emerge coldplug, but on one of the files it tried to install (sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5), it failed. It's missing aclocal, automake and makeinfo. |

Nylex,
That | Quote: | | tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors |
may be harmless. It tries to wrire a file called /proc/.keep which it can't do.
If the original error was that it safe to ignore.

Nylex,
Are aclocal, automake and makeinfo missing or the wrong versions?
They are all a part of the toolchain (compiler and odds and ends) you cannot configure packages without those tools.
It soulds like you have a mix of versions or emerge sync has got your some packages that depend on later verison of the tolls than you have.
What does | Code: | | emerge baselayout -p |
return?
I think the tools are in there.

Those files are missing, when emerge coldplug was trying to build bc-1.06-r5, it came out with stuff like "checking for automake..... missing".
emerge baselayout -p comes out with this:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!

Nylex,
Have you done your
| Code: | emerge sync
emerge system |
yet?
All that stuff should be built then.
You already have baselayout
N==New
R==Rebuild
You need to do | Code: | emerge sync
emerge system |
to get the tools to build the kernel.

| I did emerge sync when you told me to earlier, but didn't realise I had to do emerge system too. I'll do them both again now, afterwards do I just run emerge coldplug again? |

Nylex,
Stick to the order in the handbook.

I can't do emerge system, cos it complains about makeinfo being missing .
Edit: kimchi - I did follow the handbook strictly first time round, but when I did it again I couldn't remember that I'd done emerge system
*Is new to Gentoo*. I've only ever used Red Hat, Mandrake and Slack. |

Nylex,
makeinfo or make.conf ?
Your make.conf is salvaged in your etc.tar file

It's definitely makeinfo:
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
and /bin/sh: line 1: makeinfo: command not found. Those are from the build of the same file it couldn't do before (bc-xxxx). |

Nylex,
Its /usr/bin/makeinfo but something must be really badly broken on your setup.

I'll check in there, but if it's not I'll have to start over? Maybe I'll just try Fedora or something. |

Nylex,
I was about to encorage you to do a stage 1 install too, now you know your way around.

I didn't want to try that cos the handbook says it's for "power users that know what they are doing". I don't even know what bootstrapping is :/. |

hehe well...if you follow the instructions to a T...you should be fine with it (my first dive into gentoo was from stage 1...what? I was ambitious  )

Nylex,
Stage 1 means you make your compiler tools to start with. It takes a extra 12 hours of CPU time (approx) on an AMD K6-2 450MHz.

I think I'll give up for the time being and go back to Slack or something. I might come back to Gentoo eventually.
Thanks for all your help though! |

heh well from the looks of things either you got a bad state-2 tarball or missed a step somewhere either way you're kinda stuck from the assessment of the damages >.<
Good luck with the install...whether it be state 1, 2, or 3
