What happens? The kernel boots and shows the tiny font I like so
much. But suddenly while working on the bootscripts, the size of the
fonts switched to a bigger (ugly, rectangle-shaped font). More
mysterious: ALL BLUE letters were cancelled by a horizontal bar. Only
the blue ones (I am NOT joking! ;O)
Since the boot process was that fast, I couldn't realize, what stage
of the boot was currently processed.
This is the consolefont bootscript (/etc/init.d/consolefont). You can
choose what font to use in /etc/conf.d/consolefont, or simply remove it
from the boot process as I have with 'rc-update del consolefont'.
Third problem:
While emerging something often there are messages displayed as fast
as they are vanishing in the endless space of bits behind my monitor
;O)
Is there any logfile of the emerging process written to somewhere ?
Set the PORT_LOGDIR variable in /etc/make.conf (recommended:
/var/log/portage), and make sure the portage user has write access to
it. gcc output isn't logged, but all important emerge warnings are.
/var/log/emerge.log contains a stripped-down version of the Portage logs
regardless of PORT_LOGDIR setting.
