 Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 4:14 pm Post subject: mount... command not found and other weird stuff |
 |
|
I cannot finnish my Gentoo boot process because it says that the mount command is not found when trying to moun /proc. How can I solve this problem?
There was another little problem when I installed gentoo... when I typed passwd it did say to me "command not found". So now I'm stuck with those 2 problems... my system doesn't have a root password and cannot boot.
Some spec:
Release 2004.3
Kernel version: 2.6.9-gentoo-r14
amd athlon 64 3200+
/dev/hdd1 : lba fat 32
/dev/hdd2 : ext2 /boot
/dev/hdd3 : swap
/dev/hdd4 : ext3 / (but they set the type to xfs in /etc/fstab, I did change it)
Any ideas?
Thanks |

it looks like you probably didnt edit your fstab at all, could that be the case?
your installed fstab just contains examples. adjust the lines to your desire. |

but you did leave proc in?
apart from your partitions, it should look like this:
| Code: |
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
was just wondering about your remark:
| Quote: |
/dev/hdd4 : ext3 / (but they set the type to xfs in /etc/fstab, I did change it)
|
anyway, post your fstab. maybe we find something in there. |

here it is
| Code: |
/dev/hdd2 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdd4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdd3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

fstab looks OK to me, hmm..
i just realize you mention AMD64 - could this be an issue? unfortunately i am not familiar with this kind of beast.
are you able to chroot to your new installation if you boot again from the InstallCD? |

should be able to do so. Haven't check if i was yet... but i'll check right away. Maybe I would understand my problem better if I could know what does /proc and where is the base path of this baby...
Thanks
[edit] I just thought taht maybe it was my grub config... so I'll put it in here
| Code: |
timeout 30
title=Linux (Gentoo x86-64)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r14 root=/dev/hdd4
title=WinShit
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
maybe the 64 arch is an isue... I'll try posting in the 64bit section...

Nope, I don't think so.
I've got an idendical problem here - no mount command or passwd command avavible in chroot, and I guess therefore not at boot as well.
I think that the Problem is a missing package, containing mount, boot and other basic stuff. Anyone got an Idea about that?
Oh, and my System ist a P3 Coppermine - so nothing AMD64 related  |

Hm, google seems to be a great help

According to this Thread, you might have forgotten to emerge the system. So,
emerge system
should solve this problem.
I am quite shure that I didn't use that command. |

Thanks
You were right  I forgot... but now when i boot it doesn't detec my network interface... and the net-setup command is not installed nor the drivers I need for my onboard chipset (sk98lin). For the drivers I will just copy them from the live cd... but what can I do the enable the net-setup command? |

oh my..
well, you have to enable your drivers in the kernel. either as a module or build in, thats it!
btw.. still wondering how someone could "forget" to emerge his system, though |

because more network drivers are installed as module or/and build in on the LiveCD. this is just because almost everyone is able to boot from this CD, no matter which card he owns. comprende?
make menuconfig @ your kernel, enable the network driver for your card, and off you go. configuring gentoo does need manual configuration, likewise to every other distribution. this is in no way unusual. |

So make menuconfig I did. My network card drivers I did checked.
When I do "make" afterward I get the following error :
| Quote: |
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure
|
I also see all the files for my driver being installed during the make process, but they never showed up in the modules (/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r14/kernel/drivers/net) folder, either in the lib or lib64 folder. I tought that maybe I was wrong about the path of the modules folder, so I did check /proc/modules to see the list of availabel modules (as said in the doc) but the file is empty...?!?!? 
Now I know I did configure the variable during the installation process... do you think I would need to enable the NIS... (My network arch is a hub uplinked to a router). The config of the live cd does work perfectly and I was wondering if they use NIS options. [/b]
Thanks a lot for your help so far!!! |

all of this looks completly strange.. are you compiling using "distcc"?
are you on an AMD64?
in both cases, someone else might help, i am outta here.
//edit: amd athlon 64 3200+
err, dunno. sorry. i was thinking x86
time for the AMD64 doodes to drop in
OTOH: well doode, i would have expected your request in the amd64 forum in here, no? you should be aware that it is a little different compiling / installing from x86, well, though.. |
