Login Incorrect

[Kensai]

1.Ok I think I've made a big mistake. I installed gentoo 2004.2 just fine but when I finished and reboote everything said [ok] exept for when mounting filesystems it said could not mout some filesystems [!!]. Now I don't know how to fix this.
2. When it ask for a login I put root and then the password I gave it but it says login incorrect. I gave this password right when I started the installation, but when I started the new enviroment with chroot I finished the installation without giving any other passwords, what was my error? and how can I fix this? the 1. and the 2. question?
Note: I also tried login root and when asked for password just hit enter and it stills gives me login incorrect.
-Thanks

Your mistake was not specifying another password after chroot-ing.

To fix it, just boot off the installation cd, chroot to your installed system and run passwd.

First you need to get into the box. Put the install CD back in and reboot the computer. Then follow all the installation directions except untarring the tarball into /mnt/gentoo/ (doing so will overwrite your current install). So just set up your network (if you want it to look at docs) and chroot yourself into the system. At this point skip to the setting the root password part of the install and do that again. Also while you are there see if you can post your fstab to this forum, so we can see if there are any glaring errors.

PS while you are chrooted you can test whether you have set the password correctly by typing login at the prompt.

Lots of thanks for your fast replys they helped me out. Now I did everything you told me David Escott and also figured out how to fix my fstab and now everything says [ok] Thank you . Now I have just one problem My internet conecction isn't working I don't know why because in the installation was working just great and I configured the kernel with genkernel all so I have the same connection to the net like the livecd. I configured my network
if eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd="-HD"
and put a # before the line in the top for static IP that says something like
#if eth0="123.45.6.78 255.255.255.0 blah blah blah"
SO Thanks again and I'll just need to figure this out as this is the first time I install gentoo and want to keep it forever. I'm a new Gentoo User .
Thanks and any hint about the conection are greatly appreciated.

[David_Escott]

So the obvious questions:

Did you add net.eth0 to default. What is the output of rc-status. It should list net.eth0 if not you need to add it.

rc-update add net.eth0 default

and you can start it immediately by running

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

if it is started then what is the output of ifconfig eth0

[Kensai]

Yes net.eth0 is default and when I check what is the output of rc-status it is listed in there and it says started. But I use the 2wire dsl modem and it connects trough pppoa but since I don't dial to get a connection and it is dhcp I think pppoa doesn't matter in this case. One thing I see is my Local Network light isn't on while booting to the hdd I have gentoo installed. Other thing is that I dont know how to put the ifconfig output here since gentoo is in hda and I'm of hdb cause I have 2 HDDs. So I'll figure it out for putting ifconfig output here tomorrow. But what I can tell ifconfig list an intaddr or something like that with and ip 127.0.blah blah that I know it isn't mine. I'll just put everything here tomorrow as it is 1:00am here. Thanks

[Kensai]

Ok maybe I found one of the problems why I'm not getting an internet connection. At boot time when it is bringing everything up it only says:
Binging lo up [ok]
but doesn't say bringing eth0 up
and when I do ifconfig it only says
lo blah blah blah
blah blah blah
Is not like every other time I use the internet in other distros that it says
eth0 blah blah blah
blah blah blah
What could be my mistake?
-Thanks

[Kensai]

Don't know if I need to modprobe a module for the dsl connection with the 2wire Homeportal Modem?

[David_Escott]

I'm a little confused by your statements. You say eth0 is in rc-status, but then you say on boot it doesn't say bringing up eth0. Go ahead and run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and see what happens. If it complains it is already started try and restart it. As to pppoa I don't know enough to tell you what to do, hopefully someone else will see this.

[Kensai]

When i do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start it says
Bringing up interface eth0 [!!]
and it does nothing it turns on the local network light and then it is turned off.

Ok what am gonna do is install Yoper that detects everything for me and I will put ifconfig and dmesg in here. Would that be enough?

[Kensai]

ifconfig in Yoper says:

Anything more needed?

[Kensai]

Since I've put my output of ifconfig and dmesg and nobody has reply. I will just ask a question. In what you see can this be just a problem with my NIC? cause I will change it on monday to see. I will put a via-rhine to see if it works.
Thanks

[David_Escott]

I wouldn't jump to th assumption that your NIC is broken. You may have to load a module, but I don't know what the name of that module would be. There may be a configuration issue. Since you used genkernel I assume that most everything is built as a module? In which case you should look at the output of lsmod to see if there are any network drivers loaded. If there aren't then you should use modprobe to insert the appropriate module, and then try to bring the interface up again.

[Kensai]

The module I need is tulip driver I did modprobe tulip and lsmod and it is listed now but in used it says 0 I belive it isn't used by anything and thats the problem. I also added tulip to the /etc/modules.autoload and the problem with my internet connection is there. But again i belive that in lsmod it says modules and list all and tulip is there but then it says used and most of the modules says 1 or 2 and after it says snd,ac97 something like that and it tells it is being used by something I belive but next to the tulip module it says 0 and nothing more.

[David_Escott]

The zero just indicates the number of dependencies so I don't think it is a problem.

[Kensai]

Then I surely need to give up? since nobody can solve my problem.

[gnuageux]

Youre sure that tulip is the right driver? An easy way to check is boot using the livecd, vrfy network connectivity and make sure thats the driver thats in use.

Yep tulip is the right driver, even when I boot the live cd with 2.4 it says problem loading tulip module.
