I have a shiny new System76 laptop with a "3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3720QM
Processor (2.60GHz 6MB L3 Cache - 4 Cores plus Hyperthreading)".
It comes with Ubuntu, so naturally my first move was to split the Ubuntu
partition in half and install gentoo. I will say no more about my first
experiences with Unity.
The Ubunto uname -a says "3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC
2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".
Take note - it's a x86_64 host environment.
I installed the latest stage3 tarball and set up make.conf as
Which stage3 tarball exactly?
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
This suggests that you unpacked an 32-bit stage tarball. If that is
indeed the case, you should execute the chroot in a different fashion:-
# linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash
Alternatively, use an amd64 stage tarball. As a side note, you do not
need to set CHOST at all in make.conf.
When I try to compile gentoo-sources-3.5.3, it tells me
scripts/mod/empty.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64
instruction set
My home system is dual Athlon, ancient, and ~amd64.. I haven't kept track of
all the Intel processors, but the kernel config doesn't have many choices.
