Hi!

I'm stuck again. I guess I tried more than 20 times to run stage 2 
with a current portage snapshot. No luck so far. I tried at least
5 kernel versions, 2 processor types and lots of spec file variants.

Using udev, klibc fails with 2 missing header files:
=================================

=================================
I guess the problem here is, that some directory is missing in the 
include directory list, and so the compiler cannot find types.h and 
posix_types.h. 
I searched google and the gentoo forums with no luck so far.

The other variant would be to use devfs again. Genkernel then fails,
because it could not copy the image for the minimum kernel package
(no clue why yet).

Thanks for any hint,
Andreas

The problem may be the same I had.
You compile your stage2 (livecd-stage2 ?) with a snapshot and a
(livecd-?)stage1 that don't correspond.

I had to build : snapshot, stage1, stage2, stage3, livecd-stage1,
and finaly livecd-stage2.
Very long but worked fine.

My 2 cents...

PS : I try to answer just devels are sleeping at this time ;-)

You can skip building the initial stages and just use one that it more
up-to-date.  I usually use either a 2005.0 stage3 or a pre-release
2005.1 stage3.

Of course, at the moment I am using my own stage3 tarballs, but that's
just because we're in the process of working on the release.

That's what I currently use:
source_subpath: default/stage3-x86-2005.0

I'll try Christophe's suggestion and rebuild everything from scratch. Maybe 
it'll help...

Ciao,

Always try Chris suggestion before, never mine ! ;-)

I know. But your suggestion came first, and I still think it's a good idea in 
general to have a complete generation pipeline for our livecd, so we have 
more control over the entire build process. I already modified our makefile 
to include the first 3 stages before the livecd stuff is started.

Ciao and thanks again,
Andreas

I think it's both x86 2005.0

I'll give it a try. Time is not that much of an issue, since I bought a 
dedicated machine running nothing but catalyst. And it's running for 2 weeks 
now, but without much success... :-(

Thanks a lot! I pretty much gave up on sleeping...looking after this machine 
at 2am and then 7am the next time to make sure that the build process was not 
interrupted again...

Ciao,
Andreas

livecd-stage2, right?

File a bug against genkernel.

It seems to be working fine for us on the release building, however.
Perhaps there is something in your spec file causing this issue?

Also, try upgrading to genkernel 3.2.2 first.

Yup!

> File a bug against genkernel.

Ok, but let me complete the current building process, so I'm sure, that it's 
not my seed stage, that is causing the problem.

That's my next step. Updating catalyst and genkernel, then rebuilding all the 
stages and if it doesn't work, file a bug.

The problem is just, that the release cycles of genkernel and catalyst have 
become so short, that my build processes takes longer. So when my catalyst 
calls are completed and I get an error message in livecd-stage2, there's 
already a new release to try... :-)
Maybe I should invest in something like a 4-way Opteron, so I could keep up 
with your pace... :-)

Ciao,
Andreas

Yeah.  When we near a release, both catalyst and genkernel start dumping
out new versions as we tweak things and fix bugs.  Things will slow down
in another month or so with catalyst, at least.  I honestly don't expect
any more than one more release of catalyst 1.x any time soon.

After the release, we will be shifting our focus on catalyst 2.0 and
things will get shaken up a little bit, as catalyst 2 is "mostly
compatible" with catalyst 1.x spec files.  Don't worry, we'll update the
templates that ship with the package, so you guys won't be on your own.
We also plan on updating the online documentation to be accurate for
both catalyst 1.x and catalyst 2.x.

Hey now, I'm only using a dual Opteron.  :P

The main reason for the rapid changes is we have a fairly large number
of people (all of Release Engineering) doing builds at the moment since
we're nearing a release.  That's a lot of people squashing and finding
bugs.
