Hrm; well, we don't support the 1.0_rc4_pre2 release anymore since it includes a
flaky kernel that causes ReiserFS filesystems to become corrupt.  May I ask where
you grabbed it from? (it shouldn't be on ibiblio or any of our mirrors anymore).

You can expect a new release of Gentoo Linux by the end of this week.  I have an
half-complete bootable CD image and Achim is putting tons of work into fixing all
the build problems he can find in our current Portage tree.
