I was going to work on it from work today, but even though i did not forget to enable ssh on my mac, as i was going to use it to ssh into the boxes that are being worked on, i did forget to disable Little Snitch... which you can NOT disable in command line... that pisses me off, but that's besides the point, you cant unload the kext, you cant shutdown the service... useless...

so i will have wait till later to finish the installs (i have a couple of things left, boot loader, and some packages, but i mostly recompiled all the system libraries and binaries over night (optimized for the processors they are running on CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" also i disabled all kinds of USE flags so not to compile sound support, or any X, kde, gnome or gtk libs and a load of other crap that gets loaded on the system)

Oh also note to anyone doing Gentoo installs from stage 2-3 (i use stage3 for the speed and then optimize it)

if you have an error just after unpacking udev do NOT panic. Problem is caused by the differences in the march flags used to compile the binaries you are loading vs the new march flags you set in make.conf

first reemerge gcc

second run gcc-config and set the profile to the i686

third source /etc/profile

forth reemerge libtool

also if ss and com_err are blocking e2fsptogs and e2fsprogs-libs

first fetch everything you might need
# emerge -vuDaf world

second backup ss and com_err
# quickpkg ss com_err

remove ss and com_err and e2fsprogs (if they are blocking themselves)
# emerge -C ss com_err e2fsprogs

emerge the new ones
#emerge -va --oneshot e2fsprogs-libs e2fsprogs

fix brokage
#revdep-rebuild
