So. Been going at the gentoo install without proper instructions until very recently. After emerge-webrsync
stage of the install a message pops up saying "your current profile is invalid". It appears to be a blocker on emerging to kick off the rest of the install.
This doesn't seem to be an issue with the laptop (NIC is working and changing ssd does nothing for this issue) and I've validated the SHA-512 against the DIGEST.asc
associated with the downloaded tarball. It seems unlikely the livecd I'm using to install would have been rewritten over this network connection. eselect
is functioning, and experimentation with the 35 defaults yields no results. Have created a custom profile but am having issues having it appear on eselect
. Confused somewhat on the documentation for this, continuing to experiment. Suggestions welcome.
Have already run eselect profile list
and eselect profile set
for the default profiles.
The issue persists after an emerge --sync
.
In fact the issue first occurred after an emerge --sync
.
Have readlink
'd the make.profile
in portage and tried a few different symlinks.
