 Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2002 12:06 pm Post subject: Partitions lost after chroot |
 |
|
I'm installing Gentoo 1.4rc1 with stage1 tarball.
I have a DAC960 controller which i've found now after lurking around at -dev/rd/disc0/disc
Why not /dev/rd/c0d0? as every other distro?
However....
After i've created the partitions i do the chroot /mnt/gentoo as instructed i don't find the /dev/rd directory anymore?!!??
The partitions are lost.....
Where are they as i can't do /sbin/lilo in the end of the installation because lilo can't find the partitions...
The procedure i've done:
Boot with the 1.4rc1 Live CD.
Boots up fine and recognize my DAC960 controller.
#net-setup eth0 and then configure the right addresses.
I ping an IP and i get echo-replies.
#nano /etc/resolv.conf to configure the right DNS.
Then i make the partitions on the RAID-0 array:
part1 100MB Flag:Bootable Linux ext2
part2 35000MB Linux ext2
part3 500MB Linux Swap
#mke2fs /dev/rd/disc0/part1
#mke2fs /dev/rd/disc0/part2
#mkswap /dev/rd/disc0/part3
#swapon /dev/rd/disc0/part3
#mkdir /mnt/gentoo
#mkdir/mnt/gentoo/boot
#mount /dev/rd/disc0/part1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
#mount /dev/rd/disc0/part2 /mnt/gentoo
#tar -xvjpf /mnt/gentoo/stage1******.bz2
#mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/pro
#cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
#chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
#env-update
#source /etc/profile
Now if i go into /dev i can't find /dev/rd........
Where did my partitions go and where did my disc go?
Is this a bug with 1.4rc1? |

I don't know if this is a type error in your post alone or if it is both in your post and during your install, but your mount command for proc is missing the final 'c' to make it correct. I would guess this is an error only in your post, but it is certainly worth checking on! The command should read
| Code: | | mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc |
But now that I read your post more closely it looks like there is a lot that is not right here, again I don't know if you just posted it differently than you actually configured things or what.
It appears you make the /boot mount point onto the directory /mnt/gentoo before /mnt/gentoo is mounted to your part2 partition. Then it looks like you mount your part1 partition (boot) to /mnt/gentoo/boot, but then you overwrite that mount point by mounting /mnt/gentoo to part2 which means that your boot partition (/dev/rd/disc0/part1) should be empty after going through the entire install. You should, though, have a complete and operational /boot folder located on your part2 (/dev/rd/disc0/part2/boot) which you might be able to move to your part1 using the Live CD as a rescue disk. A corrected version of your steps below should read as follows:
| Code: |
Boot with the 1.4rc1 Live CD.
setup network
make the partitions on the RAID-0 array:
part1 100MB Flag:Bootable Linux ext2
part2 35000MB Linux ext2
part3 500MB Linux Swap
#mke2fs /dev/rd/disc0/part1
#mke2fs /dev/rd/disc0/part2
#mkswap /dev/rd/disc0/part3
#swapon /dev/rd/disc0/part3
#mkdir /mnt/gentoo
#mount /dev/rd/disc0/part2 /mnt/gentoo
#mkdir/mnt/gentoo/boot
#mount /dev/rd/disc0/part1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
#tar -xvjpf /mnt/gentoo/stage1******.bz2
#mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
#cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
#chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
#env-update
#source /etc/profile |
Hope that helps!

You might need to bind the /dev to /mnt/gentoo/dev for part of the
install - I had to do that with the cpqarray driver on some old Compaq
servers. Obviously, /mnt/gentoo/dev isn't running devfs yet, so many
of the devices that might be there once you get it running as /dev may
not be created yet.
| Code: |
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
|
Don't forget to umount it when you're finished.
