I'm trying to install Gentoo, but i get stuck when installing grub.
I have 2 ext4 partitions, one for / and another for /home, and the grub from grub-static(only this one works on amd64) ebuild doesn't seem to support installing on an ext4 partition.
So i decided to compile grub myself without the use of portage. I found an ext4 patch, but then i ran into the 256 inode problem. And since ext4 needs those 256 inodes for extents i couldn't use the quick fix of changing the inodes with tune2fs.
I found some patches from fedora that offer support for 256 inodes and i applied them, but now grub won't compile.
I get this error:
Code:
pre_stage2_exec-char_io.o: In function `grub_vsprintf':

I also looked into the file char_io.c and at line 309 and 329 there's no refference to those symbols.
Is there any alternative, besides lilo, that i can use to boot my system up?
