Dear Alpha list,
My hard drive crashed, so I'm trying to reinstall from scratch.
When I get to the emerge gentoo-sources step, it seems to go all the
way, then ends with a status 1 exit message.
The log files do not indicate the reason for failure, just that it
happens.
During the installation, it throws up some errors about econfdir and
/dev/fd/62 doesn't exist (I don't have it written down handy). I'm
thinking that happened before (when it worked) and didn't matter.
I have tried several times. I've wiped the drive between tries, changed
my mirror list, changed profile... no luck.
I looked at the file date for the kernel source on a mirror. It's
pretty old, so it should be the same as what worked before.
I'm wondering about the ebuild, but I don't how such things work. It
worked fine a couple weeks ago.
Any suggestions about how to figure out the problem?
I imagine that emerging gentoo-sources is best, but could I just
download a 3.7.10 tgz file from www.kernel.org and make one that way?
Adios, DW
