 |
|
Doing an install, and emerged udev, but when I do
rc-update add udev boot it tells me:
/sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d/udev not found; aborting
Anyone know what it is I'm doing wrong? |

whereis udev says:
udev: /sbin/udev /etc/udev /usr/man/man8/udev.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/udev.8.gz
By the way, I should mention it's udev-030. Thanks. |

| udev doesn't have / need an initscript, it's enabled automagically. |

So if it's automagical, I shouldn't have to do the rc-update thing?
I read it in some docs, but things can change quickly. Thanks. |

right you shouldn't need to use the rc-update thing. just type udev at the prompt, it should just run.

Okay, so I finished my install, this is what I got:
* Mounting proc at /proc...
* Mounting sysfs at /sys...
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~345: Read-only file system
(use -n flag to over ride) [!!]
* Mounting ramfs at /dev...
* Configuring system to use udev...
* Using /sbin/hotplug for udev management...
* Mounting devpts at /dev/pts...
* Activating (possible) swap...
* Remounting root filesystem read-only (if neccesary)...
*Checking root filesystem...
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda3': No such file or directory.
Warning...fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda3 exited with signal 6
*Filesystem couldn't be fixed  [!!]
/dev/console: No such file or directory.
Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup):
Looks like it's back to square one, here's what my /etc/fstab looks like:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 00
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
It's sloppy, but hopefully gets the point across, I'm at a loss. |

Okay, problem solved. I didn't completely read the
docs for the 2004.2 cd, and I didn't do:
cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
So, using the 2004.2 disc, mounted everything up,
ran the missing command, and then
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda
and it seems to work. |
