   Gentoo latest (kernel-2.6.38-gentoo-r6)

   Hello all!   
      
   Why shall gentoo livcd mininal/big be so difficult to make installed and with   
   lot of bugs in, the older versions like 2.6.35-r7 do not have any bad way of   
   installing and make to work for harddisk boot.   
   Fir is there in 2.6.38-r6 the bugs of modules not is been compiled and have   
   errors on by compiled and when it last is working come the last portage to   
   emerge, compile and install of grub.   
   emerge grub   
   and it ends with it says thate one file is damaged in /boot/grub/stage1 and it   
   can be used why stage2 and stage3 is older and is working.   
   so grub.conf is been setu and configured.   
   then a last finaly the last t install grug in to the harddisks mbr sector.   
   grub-install --no-floppy, option --no-floppy is not working to make grug to   
   skip check for fd0.   
   and after some lines by 10 to 15 lines and time with i/o error reading fd0 and   
   then could not install grub by bad not weorking stage1 file.   
   then tried to edit file device.map by move line (fd0)   
   and then tries grub-install --no-floppy   
   no errors by i/o reading fd0 bt end with could not install grub in mbr in   
   reason of bad stage3 there not have workded to be read.   
      
   Then try do it the manually way.   
   grub --no-floppy   
   grub:> root (hd0,0)   
   got fine here   
   grub:> setup (hd0)   
   bang error by stage3 file   
   and message grup can not be installed why stage3 file not is good   
   grub:> quit   
   finish but grub not been installed in /dev/sda   
   -+-   
   To make kernel and genkernel all to work by modules to initramfs, is the way   
   here to do it.   
   Then before emerge genkernel and after emerge gentoo-sources - do emerge   
   app-misc/mc (midnight commander)   
   it will search for 13 portage to get and compile and install and there is about   
   6 to 8 modules there is been installed and 3 libs too, and the modules is them   
   kernel and initramfs shall use.   
   when run the 3-4 steps - emerge gentoo-source - emerge app-misc and emerge   
   genkernel, then run genkernel all and not error by the modules.   
      
   Or.   
   genkernel all   
   get the errors first and check if initramfs is made - it is not.   
   then emerge app-misc/mc   
   and again 'genkernel all'   
   al it is all been made.   
      
   But why shall gentoo with the last kernel 2.6.28-r6 be so difficult and buggy   
   in its install.   
   If you have a older kernel in work and just opdate kernel to 2.6.28-r6 is there   
   no problem in it. But do a install from livecd id it very hard to do.   
      
      
                Take care   
                   Gert Andersen
