What kind of cpu, motherboard, network card, etc do you have?
What exactly is the error you're getting?

i have an athlon xp 2000+ and its in a shuttle xpc, the board is a FX41.
I dont actually get an error message, i did the emerge system, and when it finished it said:
"Regenerating GNU info directory index...
Processed 48 info files: 1 errors: run with emerge --verbose to view errors."

I did emerge -p system again and it did not list anything. That means that if i ran emerge system again it would not do anything right?
I just dont want to procced, if there is something that i can do now to fix this or if there is anything that i can do at this point?

thanks
henry

For the emerge error you might try:

Correct, the first time i installed, i got the same message about 1 errors, but i continued anyway. finshed the install and rebooted, and once i was back up the nic did not work.

emerge -up system, came back with "These are the packages that i would merg, in order: Calculating system dependencies....done!"
emerge -u --verbose system, came back with "calculating system dependencies ...done!
>>>Auto-cleaning packages....
>>>NO outdated packages were found on your system
GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

think i should just finish the install?

really thaink you for your help

I would recommend finishing the install and NOT using genkernel to do so.

Your nic card problem could be caused by a number of things. Check out this post before you compile your kernel:

do you think i should not use at all genkernel, or do you think the genkernel --config is ok?

thanks

I too have been getting this error. When I run emerge --verbose, it appears to be something with bash, but the bash info pages work correctly. I think it is safe to ignore this. I've built my whole system, and this is the only error.

I had this error as well. I deleted the bash info files

thanks for all your help, i finished the install and reboot and it seems to be working, i am merging gnome right now. i used genkernel --config and then add the append line to lilo, and that seems to have fixed it.

thanks again
henry

This error just appeared for me about a week ago... I ignored it... And lo, today it's gone. Hehehe.
