Hi

After successful (seems to be) installing Gentoo I compiled the kernel and after rebooting I'm getting two error messages.

1. Failed to load echo
2. d: No such file or directory
Failed to start local

I'm failing to interprete this messages and get any further and even in the German forum nobody replyed with a solution. Can anybody help?

Ciao

what do you have in your /etc/conf.d/local.start ?

I think somewhere in your config file you have written in a file echo "something" while you had to echo "sommething" > to that file and not write the entire line in this file...

at shell prompt:
' echo "qq" > file ' mean you put "qq" in that file
' echo "qq" >> file ' mean you add "qq" in that file, at the end

Furthermore I'm feeling not guilty to have written anything in my congfig file but I'll check.

OK

guilty in all cases. Sometimes it seems somebody has to point on it that I switch on my brain.
Found the errors.

Thank's a lot!!!
