My #1 problem to solve is NFS not working yet (nfs-utils aka libevent, portmap, rpc emerge failures), but it would also be very nice to get Grub to emerge. Logs: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/G/
Now as noted in the econf failed thread I've succeeded in emerging nfs-utils and grub, but neither work right.
I have two Gentoo stanzas in my primary bootloader, one to load the kernel, another to chainload Gentoo's Grub. Loading the kernel works, but chainload gives error 13 invalid executable format. I named the bzImage copied to /boot "kernel-2.6.37-r4f", and symlinked it a vmlinuz. vmlinuz is the name I use in the Grub stanzas. Is Gentoo's Grub expecting the kernel to have a particular name, and I picked a wrong one? Or maybe what it doesn't like is that I uncommented splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz in menu.lst?
The errors from NFS are different than I originally encountered, and indicate that neither portmap nor rpcbind are running. Which of the two did nfs-utils actually install (or both?), and what exactly is its name I need to use with rc-update or start one or the other manually to get my server's exports mounted locally?
