 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 7:34 pm Post subject: emerge gentoo-sources stalling i686 machine at applying 4400 |
 |
|
I was able to restart with chroot and again, program stalls at
Applying 4400 _alpha-sysct1-uac.patch (-po+) ... not sure if charcter after sysct is a one or an L.
Not being sarcastic but should I let that run or stall for 2 or three days. TOP shows no program is stopped, 2 programs running, rm is the command at the top. I understand some compiling may take days..I might have to turn my monitor off so it does not get burrned out.
Is there a way I could post or print my current screen and post here?
Solved, I did another Reinstall and learned how to navigate the download sites with cd live. I may have downloaded from a developers site instead of the one i needed to download. I did not know the down arrow shifts the field to the right after reaching last item on left column. In short, I paid more attention to reading what was on the screen than the last time., and also learned how to navigate the screen. Frank
PS , I was trying to change topic to Solved, but I can' type any letters in the Title field.

frank56,
Something failed if it stuck at applying patches ... that should only take seconds.
Make a photo with a digital camera. There are console screen capture programes but you won't have one installed.
Have you run out of drive space?
Even so, it should not lock up.
What does df -h and df -i show ?

I have a 40 gig HD , will try to get picture and and check ram total..later.,,,,I did skip over the compile options and used the defaults... How do I find out what this patch does, and is there anyway I can disable it before I run, emerge.? |

frank56,
That patch is for a DEC Alpha CPU. Its unlikely you have one of those.
The message may not be showing what is in progress ....

No my processor is an Athlon, I used X86 Portage and stage 3 also. I did google search and concluded I have an i686 computer. I assume pentium through Pentium 4 are i686, and I think though I have Amd it still in that catagory.
I dont see how I can attach a file here on this Post window, but I did take picture. Frank |

Hi,
you cannot attach files. But you can upload them at imageshack or omploader.org for example and post a link.

For Athlon you need can set separate use flags -
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" |
i686 will give problems...i686 and AMD are rivals...its Intel/AMD stuff. |

frank56,
Not all Pentiums are i686.
The first i686 was the Pentium Pro, then the Pentium 2.
The Pentium and Pentium-mmx are i586 CPUs

Except an Athlon isn't an Athlon64. Athlon is 32-bit.

for 32 bits the correct stage3 is i686, and /etc/make.conf should contain: | Code: | | CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" |
