genkernel all and klibc not found

[peter_parker]

hi ,
I have been installing gentoo linux with kernel 2.6.15,
All the partition has been done as per need @ sata hard disk are used , but the first one is currently used for installation
The second is not even formatted or partitioned .

I have followed following steps
1. boot from the Gentoo CD

2. press enter --> 'livecd root #'

3. #loadkeys be-latin1 (Belgian Keyboard Layout)

4. #passwd

5. Check networkconnection :
#/sbin/ifconfig
Check DNS Server from your internetprovider
ping -c 3 www.google.be
(#nano -w /etc/resolv.conf)
when not configured automatical : net-setup eth0
manual dhcp-configuration : dhcpcd eth0

6. Set Date/time :
#date

7. Filesystem - Partitioning
# fdisk /dev/hda
When partitionlayout is made, make te filesystem :
#mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 (ext3)
#mkswap /dev/hda2 (swap)
#mke2fs -j /dev/hda3 (ext3)
#mke2fs -j /dev/hda4 (ext3)

8. Mount Partitions :
# swapon /dev/hda2
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot

9. tarballs and chroot
# ls /mnt/cdrom/stages
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-....tar.bz2
GRP/Snapshots
# tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-yyyymmdd.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
Mirror Select
# mirrorselect -a -s4 -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf

Configuring the Compile Options

To optimize Gentoo, you can set a couple of variables which impact Portage behaviour. All those variables can be set as environment variables (using export) but that isn't permanent. To keep your settings, Portage provides you with /etc/make.conf, a configuration file for Portage. It is this file we will edit now.

#nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf
2
USE="apache2 berkdb -canna -cdr -cjk -bonobo -dvd -dvdr readline imap
java qt kde ldap maildir ssl mbox mysql pam perl sasl zlib
X -arts -nas -esd -arts -gtk -gnome -alsa"

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"


10. Chroot
# mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env -update
# source /etc/profile

11. Gentoo optimalisation
# nano -w /etc/make.conf (when problems with make.conf : cp /etc/make.conf.example /etc/make.conf)
# fill in 'cflags="..."

# locate -u

12. Timezone
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime

13./etc/fstab
# nano -w /etc/fstab

14. Install Kernel en Syslogger
# emerge -s sources | more
# emerge gentoo-dev-sources
# emerge -k genkernel
# genkernel all


==============
following are the problems faced by me

1) CANNOT emerge gentoo-dev-sources
2) # genkernel all Gives me error of "klibc tar not found ".


Please help me out , and provide me a fool proof method to install GENTOO .

with regards,
Vinit sharma

There are no 'gentoo-dev-sources' package anymore - AFAIK. BTW you should have add more details of what went wrong, because it's hard to help on "CANNOT emerge somethin' if there are no details.
So try

[peter_parker]

i have not given any use parameters , I have also completed the kernel compilation and grub .I could see pysically and read the /boot/grub/grub.conf ,
but on reboot [After removing the live CD] the machine says " no boot device , please insert the boot disk "

I again booted with liveCD and did the mount and opened the grub.conf it looks like below [i have a sata harddisl]

emerge grub


default 0
timeout 0
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/sda3


cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
grub-install /dev/sda


============== Please guide me for a better gentoo install method on sda ,
