Hi,
I been trying some new stuff and now i have some issues that need fixing.
First, I tried to install gentoo without making a a partition for boot, that is using the same /dev/hda1 for both boot and installation. So i figured after fdisking and formatting i should mount like this:
| Code: |
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
Everything seemed dandy and i moved on, choosing gentoo-dev-sources as kernel, since i could not choose the mm-sources, getting some error saying i should use a "="..
Anyway anyone with any ideas of other kernels being better please let me know which one to choose.
So i fixed even grub, and rebooted, but the system just freezes after
| Code: |
"GRUB loading stage 1.5."
"GRUB loading, please wait..."
|
So i searched the forums, found 2 ways of solving the problem:
1. not to have floppy as startup in bios
2. emerge grub without any flags.
I had already removed floppy as startup in bios and i had before compiled grub with the same flags and it was working fine just yesterday on the same laptop. the only difference was that i was using the same partition for boot and installation of system and this time i was using filesystem ext3 instead of ext2 for boot and reiserfs for installation, so i thought that i probably mounted wrong or that grub has a problem with ext3.
Ppl who have had the same problem, what partitions did you have?
what filesystems did you use?
Now have i mounted correctly?
