Ok
Where is the difference between these two chrooting methods?
I have used Method #2 now.
Method #1, according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml | Code: |
livecd usr # cd /
livecd / # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd / # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd / # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # env-update && source /etc/profile
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache.
|
Method #2, according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml, SEction
| Quote: | Code Listing 3.2: Bind-mounting the proc pseudo filesystem
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
| Code: |
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd / # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # env-update && source /etc/profile
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache.

Offtopic:
I have tried to install with sysrescuecd, the newest, at the moment available. I only get weired messages. I did all the things mentioned in the installation guide, but portage seems to be fxxxx up. So I did a complete new attempt:
I do my own way, like I always did. Install a host binary distro and then chroot. This method works great for ubuntu jaunty jacket, arch-linux and at the moment I try out Linux-Mint.
Well I cant unterstand it, each time I try to install with sysrescue-cd I get weired errors. This first happened in january 2009 first, then in august 2009 and now in march 2010 too.

Post the actual error messages that you are getting, verbatim please.
In fact look further down the alternative installation guide: | Quote: | ... Then go to The Gentoo Handbook: Preparing the Disks and follow the instructions. When chrooting, use the following command to flush your environment: | Code: | Code Listing 5.5: Flushing the environment during chroot
# env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# /usr/sbin/env-update
# source /etc/profile

Well, sry I have ditched allready this first attempt of installation of gentoo.
Basically, the python wasn*t working. All the screen was filled up with python errors. Therefore I have Installed linux-mint, downloaded a new portage snapshot and also a new stage3-archive. Quite now, I do the make.conf and then I proceed. I have to look up compiler flags and so on. => march-settings
Question. Maybe its a bad idea, to set ~amd64 at the point of installation in /etc/make.conf while installing? Is setting ~amd64 supported during installation or not? |

Yes it is, in fact you can use a ~ stage 3 to install Gentoo, and follow the Gentoo Handbook as usual.. You can get it here.
Then you can just unmerge dev-vcs/git if you don't need it. |

Ok, seems portage is running now in the chroot environment, but I have kept now on stable branch.
For me, I have written down my installation steps, I will keep to method #2 to bind the proc directory. |

Which mount proc and chroot did you use?
For proc:
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc or
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
And for chroot:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash or
env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
I'm also trying to installing gentoo from sysrescue, and I am stuck. I've read too many conflicting ways of installing gento from another distro. |

For the mount, they both achieve exactly the same results by different means. For the chroot, the latter appears to be a way of compensating for a perhaps too rich environment on alternate install media as "env -i" erases the current environment and constructs one from scratch.
Now, on Gentoo-based install media (including SysRescueCd, the Gentoo Minimal, and the Gentoo LiveDVD), there's no issue with the former (of both). My advice is, just follow the Handbook.
If you're having problems please post the command you issued and the response you got. My crystal ball is apparently not working right now. 
Oh, and stick with the System Rescue CD. It's Gentoo-based and, in some ways, superior to the official install media.
