[gentoo-catalyst] making of a catalyst livecd

[gentoo-catalyst] making of a catalyst livecd

[Chip DeVoge]

Hello I am having a difficult time building a livecd. It is an older AMD, 
connected by network card (unknown model) to interrnet, all they want to 
with it is access hazard.com with firefox and print to a HP Laserjet 5i.
/usr/share/doc/catalyst-1.1.10.10/examples/livecd-stage1_template.spec 
finishes without error. I have eliminated several use flags and packages to 
get this far. Then stage2 does not finish. I am using subarch x86. But it is 
showing -mcpu-i686 while compiling. Finally stage 2 crashes while genkernel 
is compiling the prepare target.
Any help appreciated,
Chip

 Chip:

If that's all you really need to do then possible the knoppix livecd might
be a better choice. But if you what to hack through catalyst. can you post
the actual error message you are getting.

It is for a chemistry professor at a local university and all he wants is 
the basics I listed.

ok, I'm thinking either one of two things, if you have kernel-dependent
packages that need to be added to
boot/kernel/{kernel}/packages in your stage2 spec file ... add them. if they
are in there and you are using kerncache turn kerncache off and give it a
pass.

Also, try turning off ccache for the livecd run.

For some reason it appears to be bombing out on your kernel config.
Anyway, we'd probably need you to go back and
check /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-$whatever/var/log/genkernel.log so we can see what actual errors you're getting.  The grep information isn't always the best output.
