 |
|
| The emerge ut2004 command works fine, but when it "scans for cd" is can't find it. I'm not using the DVDs, I've tried it in both drives, even mounted them to /mnt/cdrom. I'm running an AMD64 system. Thanks in advance. |

Well, mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom, but yeah. I checked to make sure cdrom0 was the right device, too, and the files were present. The emerge just doesn't detect them or something. I tried doing that export CD_ROOT_1=/mnt/cdrom thing, though I'm not sure where to put it in, so I may have done that wrong. I tried typing it in in another xterm window and, when that didn't work, typed it directly into the install window without any more luck.
Edit: Further testing has revealed that the same applies to the Doom 3 install, making the odds that it's the CD itself astronomically low. |

just typing
is sufficient for mounting the cd. That might make a difference. Try just typing that. If that doesn't work post your fstab, you might have a problem in it.

Well, I tried it. No luck, unfortunately. Anyway, fstab:
| Code: | # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sdb3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/dvd auto noauto,user 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /media/floppy auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0 |

| Oh, I've tried that in the past. It's commented because the devices are already accounted for under /media and putting them in twice just makes them show up twice. |

| When I try, it says it's not a block device. So, just now, I switched it all around and tried again. Still no dice. |

Have you tried this with your /dev/hdb commented out and your /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 uncommented? I haven't seen this ever done in fstab:
| Quote: | /dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /media/floppy auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0 |
I've always had it like this:
| Quote: |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user 0 0 |
maybe portage is looking for that line instead of what you have.

| Well, yeah, that's basically what I changed it to, save for having auto in place of iso9660. That's how it is now, I mean, and that still doesn't work. |

I had a similar problem that could be the same as this one, or completely different.
Do you have Joliet naming support in your kernel? This is required to install ut2k4. I didn't have it and it caused problems (and dirty disks  ).
If you do have Joliet support, this is what I would do with your setup and fstab to install ut2k4:
| Code: | # mount /media/cdrom
# export CD_ROOT_1=/media/cdrom
# export CD_ROOT_2=/media/cdrom
# export CD_ROOT_3=/media/cdrom
...
# emerge ut2k4 |
Also be sure to have another terminal up to unmount and mount the other disks when it asks for them.
Let me know if this helps at all.
P.S. I found it easier to install this one outside of portage and just use the installer on the disk (but then again, I have the ECE edition that wasnt really supported perfectly by the ut2k4 ebuild). |

niskel nailed it. I forgot the Joliet naming support.
Thanks a lot for the help. You guys are awesome. |

Ehh... tried it recently?
I completely redid ut2004 into 3 ebuilds, ut2004-data, ut2004-bonuspack-ece, and ut2004. This allows it to work on ECE and non-ECE DVD media and also the 6 CD release.

Does this also mean that we only have to install the data from the cd's once? Inserting 6 cd's everytime they release a new build is painful! |

wolf31o2: I have not tried it since then. This should make it supremely easier. I may have to try a reinstall.
Now if only ati would make drivers that didn't hardlock when playing ut2k4 for too long, didn't randomly crash doom3, and gave comparable to windows performance  . |

Here's how you do it: If you read what it tells you, it says to 'export CD_ROOT=/mnt/cdrom'. That way you can mount and unmount CDs in the middle of the install. After you export that, then you mount your CD1 and run the emerge. When it asks for CD2, just go to another console, umount /mnt/cdrom, insert CD2, mount /mnt/cdrom, go back to the console where emerge ut2004 is running, and hit enter.
BTW - wolf31o2: Could you add a description in the build for the ECE 10 CD-ROM edition? I don't know if it needs all 10 CDs. The last 3 are ECE-BonusMod discs. One difference I know is that the CD4 on the ECE version does NOT have a Music folder on it. |
