i'm trying to cd-install crux2.3-i586 (from contrib dir) and running into very strange problems: 1. # /usr/bin/setup /usr/bin/setup : line 263: syntax error near unexpected token 'else' Problem place is at line 253 though: ' ) > $tmpfile 2>&1' Apparently the piping is not liked by bash ??? Well, I did following: # cp /usr/bin/setup /tmp/ # vi /tmp/setup (removed the piping) # /tmp/setup This allowed package installation to go fine. 2. # setup-chroot # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3 # make menuconfig Makefile:278: /usr/src/linuc-2.6.20.3/scripts/Kbuild.include: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 0: [: -lt: unary operator expected make: Warning: File: '/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/arch/i386/makefile.cpu' has modification time 8.4e+07 s in the future make: *** No rule to make target '/usr/src/linux- 2.6.20.3/scripts/Kbuild.include'. Stop. Now, the very same iso installs just fine under qemu (cpu emulation as an athlon). http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#VIA_Processors says that this processor reports wrongly i686, instead should be i586. # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu_family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 599.90 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow bogomips : 1201.07 clflush size : 32 # uname -p i686 Any suggestions are warmly welcome! fikin
