i have just installed my gentoo a few days ago. i have never emerged any software yet. i followed the gentoo installation manual. That's why i have a few already listed in "world".
Code:
# cat /var/lib/portage/world
sys-apps/slocate
sys-boot/grub
sys-fs/reiserfsprogs
sys-kernel/hardened-sources

But when i simply "emerge apache",
Code:
# emerge apache

The system halted here :(
and no matter what i press, there is no feedback. (i use putty to login to my headless gentoo box)
and i need to restart by the power button.

For more information, it halts when i emerge vim also. In fact, it halts for every emerge :(

# emerge -v vim

As far as i know, the next output should be "Unpacking source" (is it?)
i also find this is different from my previous experiences. There is an extra line "Starting parallel fetch". Is this the cause to the error and halt my system?
i have googled "Starting parallel fetch" and "Unpacking source". But i cant find anyone with this same problem.
i guess it may be a wrong configuration in the kernel, as i just install it freshly.
Could somebody please help?

Thanks a lot!!

When you are emerging a series of packages, Portage can fetch the source files for the next package in the list even while it is compiling another package, thus shortening compile times. To make use of this capability, add "parallel-fetch" to your FEATURES.

You can disable this by adding "-parallel-fetch" to FEATURES.

thx for your help. But excuse me, how can i "add "-parallel-fetch" to FEATURES"? Where is "FEATURES"? :roll:
And also, do you think "parallel fetch" will halt my system? Or there is something going wrong in "unpacking source"?

1/ all emerge options, features... what affect gentoo portage could be found in /etc/make.conf (this is state in docs, yes it's a RTFM call because it's simply the heart of gentoo)
2/ you should try emerge portage first if it's a new install
3/ try add -dv to emerge for debug+verbose you may get more infos on what's going on.

Oh YES!!!! i m really a n00b that even forgot to emerge portage -_- i guess this is the cause of the halt x_x
Yet i have been bothered by a day, and suppose it is a kernel configure problem. So i m making the defconfig...

When u mention about make.conf... That's really strange!!! i used to have make.conf.example. But my harddisk crashed so i have to install it all over again. i m using hardened-sources-2.6.28-r9 but there is no make.conf.example. Is it because i have not emerge portage :?

i did emerge portage in all my previous systems. But i found something funny that... i have just surf through the installation manual [ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml ] that i followed everytime. Yet i cannot find a part telling us to emerge portage :?:
Or simply Google it and find no match ):

When the system halts, does it respond to ping? Can you attach a serial console to check whether the system printed any messages on the console before it halted? Do you also see a hang if you run a non-hardened kernel?

Portage should advise you upon completion of an emerge --sync if a new version of Portage is available. At that time, it will also advise you to install the new version.

What filesystems are you using? Please post the output of nl /proc/mounts ; free ; emerge --info so we can get a better understanding of your system.

Why are you using PuTTY instead of /usr/bin/ssh from net-misc/openssh? ;)

Code Listing 2.1: Updating the Portage tree

# emerge --sync
(If you're using a slow terminal like some framebuffers or a serial
console, you can add the --quiet option to speed up this process:)
# emerge --sync --quiet

If you are behind a firewall that blocks rsync traffic, you can use emerge-webrsync which will download and install a portage snapshot for you.

If you are warned that a new Portage version is available and that you should update Portage, you should do it now using emerge --oneshot portage.


sometimes google fail too :)

edit: trying to be a bit more constructive in that post: yes make.conf.example will certainly comes with the new portage, etc-update would be my 2nd thing in list that shoudn't be forget.
and for the rtfm i was thinking about that http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2 everything there is (still in my opinion) the heart of gentoo, i said heart because it's because of that, that this linux distro is becoming gentoo. (sorry that/that/this, but my english isn't good enough to said it in a nicer style)

no. It even does not respond to ping :(
yes, i have just attached a monitor to it and run emerge -av vim on that machine (not remote ssh). i saw some monsters come out!!!

non-hardened? i have not tried. Isn't hardened should be more robust?

yes. i saw it now. For fear that there was any unknown things going wrong in the middle of the installation, i have just re-installed it all over again. Of course this time i see the emerge portage advise. And i did emerge portage. Yet i found even after i emerge portage (for a few times), it is not listed in world. Is this normal?

for the filesystem & partition, i use reiserfs and followed the manual:
Code:
/dev/hda1   reiserfs   32M                Boot partition
/dev/hda2   (swap)     512M               Swap partition
/dev/hda3   reiserfs   Rest of the disk   Root partition

i use PuTTY because my another machine is a xp =P

OMG!! After i restart my system, leave it there not logging in. Some monsters come out again :twisted: a different one

* for the two pictures attached, the cursors are blinking at the bottom left corners. Yet both do not response to my USB keyboard (not even the Caps Lock or Num Lock LED) and ping from another machine.

i used to have good Gentoo Linux. Yet all my previous installation was boot by a CDROM drive and install it. On the same hardware, but this time i boot by the USB memory stick. And... i have never succeeded :( i think booting by a CDROM or by an USB will not make a different. We will chroot and install it by the way (is it?) So i wonder if my hardware (eg. mother board) has some failures.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-735278.html
http://www.sysresccd.org/

FYI, my system cannot boot if i checked IPv6 in the kernel. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-769835.html

krinn wrote:

no. It's my fault. i should not quote the keywords :lol:

FYI, my make.conf.example is hiding somewhere else, not in /etc with make.conf
Code:
# find / -iname 'make.conf.example'
/usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example


Now i try adding the line FEATURES="-parallel-fetch" to make.conf, then emerge -av vim.
Of course the line >>> Starting parallel fetch disappeared. But it halts also, with the same error (monstor).

PS i would like to ask what is the meaning of the numbers in the square brackets (in the pictures)?
Are they timestamps and memory addresses? i have never seen these output before.

Finally, Thanks All Of You For Helping Me :D
You All Are So Kind :wink:

Hardened is modified to be more resistant to attacks. Sometimes, those modifications are incorrect and cause bad behavior in a legitimate workload.

Oh.... i see. Yet with the information provided, can you see if there is any error of my configuration, or an unknown incorrect modification of the Hardened? :roll:

Hardened refers to the difficulty of installation and correct functioning? :lol:

The leftmost ones are timestamps. The brackets in the middle are memory addresses - what you're seeing is a call trace. Something is seriously wrong with either your hardware or your kernel.

the pic you see is a kernel dump, for me (my interpretation) is that you have trouble with irq with your network card (rhine is the driver for some net cards).
you may try disable the network loading to check you can boot (eheh bye bye internet)... or recheck your config and kernel config for valid network card, might just need irqpoll at boot maybe...
this just mean your kernel is bad because misconfigure and/or hardware trouble...

amazing no? looks like finally it's not portage that get you in trouble
still amazing no? you're in a deeper sh... :D

if you need help for kernel, let us know, there's a guy walking this forum that love to put seed on everyone computer, pappymcsomething. Sure he could build you a nice one fast. (if i remember he also have a thread about that)
