Riddler

tried emerge -u modutils and that failed reboot did etc-update and tried emerge modutils and still got the insmod.static error

did that still need to uncomment dri

but i did a emerge -u without the p and it looks like it's working

(Knock on Wood)

hopefully it will work and I will uncomment the dri

THanks

OK!!! It gave me some green text and said portage will stop and complete the merge on both nvidia and its kernel but when I modprobe nvidia it says there is no module

so i tried starting X and the instructions said i would get the nvidia splash screen but i didn't

The only non-commented areas are

USE="kde qt -gnome -gtk cups"

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu

CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -03 -pipe"

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 arch"

That is what I've been following and yes when I get to

emerge nvidia-glx is when I get the problem

I tried skipping it, thinking I could later install it in KDE but kde craps out on me in the same way. I know skipping was probably not the best solution but I just thought I'd try it

tried the CFLAGS="-2" thing and all it did was shoot out unrecognized option looked on the gentoo forums again and found a guy with the same problem but no one posted a solution and my dang account is still inactive so I can't even post to find the solution

please help i really appreciate it

yeah it wasn't much help at all

tried searching the net but that wasn't much help either

It also failed with the same error

BTW I did get rid of my vcron error

I got through everything in the initial install and when trying to install Nvidia drivers or KDE I get the same error

Make[1]: ***[insmod.static] Error 1

make[1]1: ***Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Leaving directory

Make: ***[all] Error 2

ERROR: sys-apps/modutils-2.4.25 failed

Function src_compile, Line 41, Exitcode 2

emake failed

I'm at wits end now and can't figure out what is going on...

if anyone can help I would be greatly appreciative

BTW the x server does work

Thanks

PS-- also on boot vcron is shooting me an error any ideas?

just to keep everyone posted I rebooted again and loaded the acpi kernel maybe this will work "fingers crossed"

spoke with ezroller against my better judgement restarted the install. Anyway see yall in 4 hours :( Also neither he nor I could find in the bios where to turn off energy saver. Which means if I don't stay on the ball then we might repliicate the problem

Also it would come out of sleep mode until this point. No way of knowing what point it is I was out on a job though

Is there any way to salvage the install from where I'm at???

yeah I tried that several times also turned off and then on the monitor and still nothing

Tried another monitor and replicated the dilemna

I need some help installing Gentoo from stage 1. When loading the bootstrap it seems to download fine and begin to unload but when I came back to my pc the monitor would not recieve a signal, thus I have no idea if it is finished and can restart my computer. Please help me!!!

I have a Gateway VX900 19" monitor and a 64MB Nvidia Gforce2

Thinking about installing Yoper on my box and I was wondering any pros and cons of it???

I'm using Mandrake now by the way

thanks i hope it works i'll keep yall posted
