 |
|
Hello everyone,
This weekend I installed Gentoo in Virtualbox, in EFI mode.
I successfully completed the installation, but I was wondering why /boot is empty.
I can start the machine correctly, but my kernel, initramfs & system map are not showing when doing an ls /boot.
Yesterday, I have upgraded grub to 2.0.2-r1, then I re-installed my grubmk-cfg, according to the manual and recompiled my kernel, because grub seemed to have erased my directory.
Where can I find my kernel, grub, etc.. under normal usage?? :s
Did I do something wrong, and how can I correct this??
When I boot the VM up with Sysrescuecd, I see the following, when mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/gentoo/boot (I have to create this first, livecd env.),
I see the EFI, grub, and Kernel, initramfs & SystemMap??
Do I need to pull in efibootmanager (?) or do I have re-start again?
Thank you,
Kind regards,
V
This is my /etc/fstab,
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#
# NOTE: Even though we list ext4 as the type here, it will work with ext2/ext3
# filesystems. This just tells the kernel to use the ext4 driver.
#
# NOTE: You can use full paths to devices like /dev/sda3, but it is often
# more reliable to use filesystem labels or UUIDs. See your filesystem
# documentation for details on setting a label. To obtain the UUID, use
# the blkid(8) command.
/dev/sda2 /boot vfat noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda4 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
|
Here-under, you can find of the parted setup of my disk
| Code: |
Number Begin End Size Filesystem Name Flags
1 1 MiB 3 MiB 2 MiB grub bios_grub
2 3 MiB 131MiB 128 MiB fat32 boot boot,esp
3 <-> 2 GiB linux-swap(v1) swap
4 <-> 30 GiB ext4 rootfs
|
Ps. I have added grub under protected packages with a emerge --noreplace :s, how I can undo this?
Thnx

Sounds like you ran ls /boot with /dev/sda2 not being mounted at /boot. When using a separate boot partition (/dev/sda2) the /boot directory(mount point) should be empty. run | Code: | mount /boot # fstab and mtab tell mount to use /dev/sda2
ls /boot |
to see the missing
If you forget to mount the boot partition as often as I used to, you can remove noauto from your /etc/fstab

DONAHUE,
Removing "noauto" did the trick, I see the contents of boot now after restart,
Thank you,
Kind regards,
