Hey,

When running `dev_install (--reinstall)` from a `sudo su -` shell, I hit the following error

python-exec-conf-2.4.6: >>> Extracting info2 running             Load avg: 1.71, 1.08, 0.85

Any pointers on what to do here?

Thanks,

You could try removing the write protection on the rootfs, but this isn't a good thing to do long term, it can prevent future updates from applying properly because the verification tests to check for tampering will fail.

I'm actually getting a different error with `sudo -i; emerge -a vim` on my Sarien machine, it tells me `curl: (1) Protocol "gs" not supported or disabled in libcurl` which I'm guessing is something in the system trying to pass `gs://chromeos-dev-install` URLs directly to curl, rather than resolving them to `https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/board/sarien/${CHROMEOS_MAJOR}.${CHROMEOS_PATCH}.${CHROMEOS_BRANCH}/packages` URLs before passing them to curl.

I actually figured this out, it is best to just `sudo dev_install --bootstrap-only` and that gets enough base packages that you should be able to run Chromebrew or add an alternate overlay if you want to emerge anything that is masked in the packages.provided ie isn't available for direct installation on a Chromebook but assumes you have a dev machine to build and provide it.

My bad, the actual command since I had to run it again today is `sudo dev_install --only_bootstrap`.
