new stage3 install pam wont work
Trying to do a stage3 install from gentoo 10.0 live dvd and getting stuck.
Trying to emerge -auvND system and it gets stuck at dbus because of faulty pam. If I try to emerge -av pam it wants to install Quote:

I cant re-emerge pam as it wants dbus first but cant get past it, not even with --skipfirst. The stage3 file was an older stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2. Should I try a newer base then start again? |

I don't understand why you are emerging from a 10.0-live-DVD with such an old stage3 version. Probably this is the reason for your problems with pam. I installed a few Gentoo-systems within the past half year, always with a new stage3 and portage-snapshot and never had such an issue. Markus |
The reason for the old stage file is because the file is one I had on another system and my download bandwidth is on its limit (after downloading the 10.0 dvd)!
I didn't think the age of the stage3 file made too much difference as long as you update system/world straight away. I am installing on a new compaq presario CQ61 laptop and have had a lot of trouble getting live dvds to boot up. That is the reason I tried the 10.0 DVD. All others I have tried to boot Ubuntu, Gentoo 2008 or gentoo 2007 have all fallen over at some point in the boot process. The 10.0 dvd has run great. Even wireless works straight out of the box. The minimal cd works but then I have no wireless networking so I cant get anywhere. I might wait another week then download the latest stage3 file and try again. |

Another suggestion: if you have a running (and bootable) system on the Laptop, you may take this as the hostsystem for another new Gentoo-installation. On my Desktop-PC I installed Slackware64 at first on a small partition and installed Gentoo from there. Be aware that this will only work from 32bit to 32bit or from 64bit to 64bit systems since a "chroot" from 32 to 64bit will cause trouble (I know there is a workaround for this issue which I don't know but you have to do additional steps which are not described in the Gentoo-handbook).

The Gentoo 10.0 dvd has been the most successful one so far. Quote:

I gave up and started again with the same stage file as before but this time it is working great and fully upgraded.
Now I just have to build a desktop. |
