[gentoo-user] Gentoo 2007.0 installer problem (unpacking the stage tarball takes forever)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 374 bytes --]

When i reach the screen when the stage tarball is unpacked (i choose the
stage from the LiveCD) the progress bar reachs the end and the letters
"done" appear in the progress bar, however, the "cancel" button does not
change into a "ok" button or a "continue" button, thus, freezing my install
at that point. Does any one know what could be wrong?

thanks in advance

If this is reproducible you could try filing a bug. If you do make sure you 
provide more information than the above though on the bug..

Try switching to verbose mode when it's loading and see where it's failing.

Not that it helps any, but using the graphical installer, mine gets stuck at
this stage at copying file 50 of 118.

The new install i attempted passed the point of unpacking the stage tarball,
however, it died suddenly after setting the make flags (right after i
pressed next).

For some reason i cant retrieve the log so ill post it tomorrow if i can
reproduce the error.

	Google? Gentoo's website? Searching?

http://www.gentoo.org

	Nobody can do bottom-post and text-plain post anymore?

This is what the handbook says about stage tarballs:

Code Listing 5: Surfing to the mirror listing with links

# links http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml

(If you need proxy support with links:)
# links -http-proxy proxy.server.com:8080
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml

 Make sure you download a *stage3* tarball - installations using a stage1 or
stage2 tarball are not supported anymore.

If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded stage tarball, use
md5sum and compare the output with the MD5 checksum provided on the mirror.
For instance, to check the validity of the x86 stage tarball:

Isn't easier and more productive to simply start a normal install
instead of using the Installer? I admire the work of the devs, but I
simply couldn't use it with some machines, I try it, if it fails, I go
with the normal install and THIS one never fails...

I agree, I think the reason most don't want to go that route, is because
they have to read the instructions.  I do think however, that if they offer
it as a way to do the install, it should work.  I've had trouble with the
graphical installer ever since it came to be.  I wonder why it has so many
issues?

I would think that the ability and willingness to read instructions is a 
prerequisite to running a gentoo system. And it should be 
non-negotiable, much like the ability and willingness to read is a 
prerequisite for a university education.

I fundamentally disagree with with the whole idea of a noob-proof gui 
installer for gentoo. That's ubuntu's province and they are very good 
at it. Gentoo caters to a different market.

I'm not being elitist, I'm being pragmatic.

   Yes, i guess it is required to be willing and able to read instructions.
However, when you are not a linux expert and want to set-up a gentoo
workstation fast (my case) i think it would be convenient to use a graphical
installer and then, with time get to know the basic install and all the
concepts behind it.
   I have installed gentoo before using the normal install, nevertheless i'd
never get it right the first time so i thought "hey! i'll try with the
graphic for once, should be simpler and faster" (i achieved successful
installs with the 2006.0 LiveCD).

Anyway, back to whats important. I tried an installation downloading the
stage from the following  URL
http://gentoo.localhost.net.ar/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2 and, again,
all ended in a big fail, here are the logs:

I took your advice and tried with the minimall install CD, here is the
outcome. Everything ok until i reach the compilation of the kernel (using
genkernel), then i get this error:

First i thought it was some issue regarding genkernel and ReiserFS so i
switch to ext3 and got the exact same result.

I am really about to lose it here. could be some issue with SATA? i am
installing on a SATA disk

I would argue that you can much more efficiently learn Linux and Gentoo
by going through the install process by hand rather than using a
graphical installer.  Then you see the pieces of the puzzle as they come
together!

True, but my point is that when you need to have a workstation ready as soon
as possible and you are not a linux expert (again, my case) it would be
advisable to use an installer. Anyway, if you look at my previous post you
will see that i tried the minimal CD and fail miserably, maybe ill re-post
that error on a new thread with a more accurate subject.
