mounting proc at /proc... Now I'm stuck

[oboypt]

Finished my install and rebooted my system and I get to mounting proc at /proc and then nothing happens. I really don't want to start the install over so any help would be grerat.

remount your partition using the install disk and check you /etc/fstab make sure that the line at the bottom that mounts proc is correct.

Very often a failure in mounting /proc indicates your kernel was compiled with mismatch cpu options.

are you sure the mountpoint /proc really exists?

I'm having exactly the same problem. However i do remember that there is no /proc dir i think. This would explain the problem very well .

I'm going to check this out. BRB

!!!SOLVED!!! For me atleast :p

Description:

Install somehow forgot to make me my /proc dir. Either i didn't RTFM properly or it doesn't mention creating it or they forgot to add it to the tar.


Solution:

Load up your live CD.
do a "mount /dev/hdXX /mnt/gentoo" where XX is your root drive.
then "cd /mnt/gentoo"
then "mkdir proc"
The permissions should be the same as all other dirs.
Reboot.


Could someone verify the .tar or manual to see if they noticed it and if not i have no idea if this would be considered a bug or something. I'm a noob so could someone submit this if it's nessecary.

Thanks all
