likewhoa Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Well it has nothing to do with being wireless, it chokes when detecting the keyboard now (a PS/2 corded Logitech). I've tried two different copies downloaded and burned by the way, so I don't think it's a disk issue. Edit: I did some searching and found a guy that ran into the same problems. I'll look in the options but how would I go about doing this? sorry for the late response buddy. on the livecd prompt type gentoo noacpi there is an F option that shows you all the available boot options, disable some if noacpi doesn't work.. you can use multiple options also.

KimTjik Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Gentoo was one of the first distro to provide 64bit support in linux Arch is nice but it's package tree is small compare to Gentoo's. Right, but honestly know-one can compete with Gentoo's package tree. And yes Gentoo was a early 64bit adopter and it's up to the user how exclusively he wants his installation to be a true 64bit. Still I'm a bit worried for Gentoo's future, but I wish the best possible outcome! Personally I don't mind a smaller package tree as long as the selection is of good quality and frequently updated. I won't have thousands of applications anyway running on my system! Don't give up Technodanvan it's worth all the effort! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Don't give up Technodanvan it's worth all the effort! I'm getting there. Edit: I'm actually stuck right now on the make.conf part, I got up to the point where I ran this....which appears to just be a help file of sorts and doesn't seem to be necesary to run. # man make.conf But then there's no prompt. Also, I'm not cetain which custom file to use for an AM2, just stick with Athlon Xp for dual cores? Edit 2: Seems I'm having trouble extracting files from the steps directly before this too... Here's the errors: tar: stage1-amd64-2006.1.tar.bz2.1: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors and.. tar: portage-latest.tar.bz2.1: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewhoa Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I forgot to add make.conf for the rest of the processors. I only added for Athlon-XP,Opteron,Core Dou,PentiumD, & Pentium4 I will add make.conf for more processors.. EDIT: oops i did actually add the configs but forgot to add the links will edit guide with updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likewhoa Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Just updated with the actual errors I'm getting. from the filename it seems you actually tried to re-download the stage1/portage tarballs twice. look at the /mnt/gentoo directory. and delete any duplicates that end with .1 also delete the stage/portage just in case they was not downloaded fully. # cd /mnt/gentoo # rm -v stage* portage* no begin at the part were you download the stage/portage tarballs.

red930 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Alright, I found the directory but there's a 'locked' symbol on the folder and it says I don't have permission to delete anything in it. Is there a way to do it through the terminal? Edit: nvm, thanks for the code. Is it necessary to run: # man make.conf ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewhoa Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 no but it's there if you wish to learn more about the make.conf options. man make.conf = read the manual for make.conf example: read the manual on the mkdir command: # man mkdir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 no but it's there if you wish to learn more about the make.conf options. Alright, thats what I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 New question. # emerge --sync How long does it usually take to 'receive the file list'? Might want to put a little warning in there for the steps that take some time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewhoa Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 emerge --sync usually takes 15-30mins depending on updates to the tree. I will put a note on that one. UPDATES: I added make.conf files for the following processors.. AM2 pentium2 pentium3 pentium-m celeron xeon with no em64t support xeon with em64t support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Okay, I ran the 'Bootstrapper' which seemed to work fine, at least it didn't give me an error. Didn't take any time at all to run though, is it supposed to do that? Anyways, I tried running the 'Clock-Skew' steps and neither worked. * rc-update: '/etc/init.d/ntp-client' not found; aborting then... bash: ntpdate: command not found Any thoughts?
