env-update trouble during installing

Hi,

I'm installing the latest gentoo version on an x86 platform. Well, I roughly followed the installing steps given in online documentation when, at step 6.a, the environment update fails (command env-update after chroot). The critical error message is: "/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries /lib/libutil.so.1: invalid ELF header"

As a result, the rest of the installing fails and especially the bootstrap... How can I solve this problem ?[/b]

Well, I'm not an expert in Linux :oops:

....
thx for your help

---------------------------
- some hardware information:
cpu: (old) intel pentium 75-200 132MHz
RAM: 48M
HDD: 4G2

- installed packages:
stage: stage1-x86-2005.1.tar.bz2
portage version: portage-20051027.tar.bz2

... Thus, I've rebooted the pc and I ve installed stage2 from another mirror (ok). Now, I'm installing the portage pack (the same one). hum, the system now freezes during the uncompressing process. the problem is a busy irq, thus causing a fatal error (infinite loop). The message is:
"ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd2 {Busy}
"

SO, I ' M LOST !!!! plz for some help..... :cry:

thx

ok, after a good night, I may find the source of the problem. :idea:

After perfoming a checking of the HDD in hda3, e2fsck has found several bad clusters or (inodes ?) causing a segmentation fault...

So, I'm trying to repair it or I'll change it....
