In fact, I got everything going on a root XFS filesystem with no problems. Here's what I used for my install: in /etc/make.conf: The default USE settings The default i686-only CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and CHOST settings (Note: for those of you having problems with your build, I recommend *starting* with the default USE settings (yes, before bootstrap, as in the instructions) and then try removing the things you *know* you don't want.) I only found one minor installation quirk. The mountpoint for the boot filesystem was listed as /mnt/boot instead of /boot -- both in the instructions and in the real file. It should be set to /boot. Of course, /etc/hosts was empty until the point in the install instructions where I was told to add entries to the file, but sys-devel/perl built fine anyway. It looks like perl just needs the lo interface, not necessarily the "localhost" hostname defined. Oh, and for everyone who wants to use XFS as a root filesystem, be sure to enable "Page Buffer Support" and "XFS filesystem support" in your kernel, and merge sys-apps/xfsprogs before your reboot. I actually forgot to merge xfsprogs before I rebooted, and everything was fine, but that's generally not a good idea.
