[olug] gentoo install problems

[dthacker9 at cox.net]

Installing from: LiveCD Stage 2 Pentium 4

After chrooting, I'm prompted that there is a new version of portage. I promptly "emerge portage". When compiling "db.1.85.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/db-1.85-r1/work" I get the following error messages:

Code:
gcc -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--version-script=libdb.map -Wl,-soname=libdb.so.2 -shared -o libdb.so.2 hash.os hash_bigkey.os hash_buf.os hash_func.os hash_log2.os hash_page.os ndbm.os bt_close.os bt_conv.os bt_debug.os bt_delete.os bt_get.os bt_open.os bt_overflow.os bt_page.os bt_put.os bt_search.os bt_seq.os bt_split.os bt_utils.os db.os mpool.os rec_close.os rec_delete.os rec_get.os rec_open.os rec_put.os rec_search.os rec_seq.os rec_utils.os
ln -sf libdb.so.2 libdb.so
make: *** [libdb.so.2] Segmentation fault

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-1.85-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 26, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


I then found several suggestions that I may need to emerge glibc first, so I did that: I get a kernel panic:
Code:
Code: c7 00 01 00 00 00 8b 83 88 00 00 00 c7 40 04 00 00 00 00 8b
 <0>Kernel Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler
In interrupt handler - not syncing

Any of you gentoo zealots want to take a crack at this one? :) You can disprove my "gentoo doesn't work on newer hardware" argument.
