I've encountered a few anomalies along the way, but I suspect most of them are cosmetic, and that some just need a documentation update. I don't think they are related to the tracebacks, but I mention them below just in case they are a clue to the deeper problem. (I planned to mention them in a separate letter of advice on how to avoid confusing newbies.) (1) The portage file on the mirror was called portage-latest.tar.bz2.tar instead of portage-latest.tar.bx2 (2) Of course, from sarge I couldn't run mirrorselect. So I picked a mirror by hand, and is seemed to work. (3) At section 7.d, where I was supposed to zcat /proc/config.gz there was no such file. But the file I was supposed to create, /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-26 already existed, so I just used the one that was already there. This may have resulted from the fact that /proc was, of course, a window into the Debian 2.6.8 kernel instead of the 2.6.17 installer kernel. (4) When doing genkernel all I got the message mount: special device /dev/BOOT does not exist * warning: failed to mount /boot There was still a directory /boot on the intended partition into which I was installing gentoo, so I presumed it would use that one for /boot, as I intended, and just let it go on. (5) There was not sufficient information on locales and keymaps. IN particular, none of the available locales had "UTF-8" in their names, even though some of the suggested ones did. Should I presume that the UTF-8 adaptation is created by the locale generating software? What I want is a system that uses UTF-8 internally and keyboards and consoles that accept input in several languages -- English, French, math, Japanese, and mathematics. I guesses some entries and went on -- confident that this can be fixed after installation. What further information should I dig out to help track down the problem? -- hendrik -- gentoo-installer@gentoo.org mailing list
