 Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 11:12 pm Post subject: Filesystem Error |
 |
|
First, my name is Chris and I would like to say the guides are wonderful, however Im experincing some difficulty. This is my second linux distrobution, first was Fedora Core 2, kept it for 3 days, decided I want a challenge. I tell you this as when you respond I need to know the exact commands. I dont know how to mount the drive back to where I was earlier either. Well this is the error I got after I pressed enter for "Grub"
Booting "Gentoo Linux 2.6.7"
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /kernel -2.6.7-gentoo root= /dev/ram0
init =/linuxrc real_root =/dev/hda3
ERROR 15: File Not Found
Thanks in advance and remember baby steps :)

you mean for chrooting?
generally for grub errors like this you pop in the live cd and type in:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
nano -w /mnt/gentoo/grub/grub.conf
umount /mnt/gentoo
note that hda1 is assumed to be you're /boot partition, for you it could be on hdb, hdc, hdd, hde ect... or even a sda, sdb, ect...
for other issuse, i suggest you make a liveCD script, which automates this process. save it to / and call it liveCD.sh
make the file in nano, and type in the file:
| Code: |
# the pound sign indicates comments
swapon /dev/hda2 # change this to you're swap
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot # change to boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc # necessary
echo please type in chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
echo env-update
echo source /etc/profile
|
to use this you will do:
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
/mnt/gentoo/liveCD.sh
note, after making the script, you must do something like:
chmod 700 /mnt/gentoo/liveCD.sh
this will allow only root to read, write, or execute the file.
make sure you replace the hda1 2 or 3 with whatever you did. if you've made a partition for /var or /tmp, you can mount them in a similar manner. |

This is my partition table:
Disk /dev/hda: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4998 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 68 506047+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 69 4998 39600225 83 Linux |

you should still be able to get it to work. you may need
mkdir /temp
mount -t ext2fs /dev/hda1 /temp
nano -w /temp/grub/grub.conf
umount /temp
reboot
in anycase -t ext2fs may not be needed, and the method is the same for knoppix and live cd -- mount the FS for /boot somewhere, then edit the files, then unmount it, then reboot. |

That should allow you to mount the drive to that point.

What's with all the spaces in there? Your grub.conf looks a little off.
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.7
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.7-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3 |

Good call I did not even catch that, but this probably would be the culprit:
| Code: |
kernel /kernel -2.6.7-gentoo
|
Linux treats white space as a delimiter, so it was looking for a kernel file called kernel and not "kernel-2.6.7-gentoo" and it was passing "-2.6.7-gentoo" as an option. Follow monkey89 advice about fixing your grub conf and you should be all set.
