 Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 3:02 pm Post subject: Forgot to mount/proc |
 |
|
Hi,
I forgot to mount proc before i did the genkernel all and did't realise until i got to copying this over to /etc/fstab i think it was called just after configuring grub would it be possible to just mount proc and just install genkernel again would it affect any of the packages emerged after this point? Or is it just easier to start the install again? Sorry for the lack of information as I cant remeber exactly what bash said I will add more if is needed. So does anyone know? Thanks |

my recommendation would be to try mounting /proc, recompile your kernel and reinstall your bootloader into the MBR. see if it works, if it works fine then don't worry. if you get some weird errors start over again.

Just go straight:
| Code: | grub
root(hd0,0)
setup(hd0)
quit |
Just correct to match your config.
P.S.: I made the same mistake, currntly recompiling the kernel  |

The kernel recompile and grub reinstall does not help resolve my problem.
My system just does not boot correctly. It fails somewhere after stating
"uncomopressing...
after that it just scrolls down - like going beeserk...
Running 2005.0 from minimal CD, stage 2, manualy configured kernel, 2.6.11, on a SATA disk
| Code: | boot = sda5
root = sda7 |
grub
| Code: | title Gentoo 2005.0
root (hd0,4)
# kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 vga=0x318
# kernel /bzImage root=/dev/ram0 /init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda7 vga=0x319
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/sda7 vga=0x319

You can see everything I've tried to (try to) make it work but it is always the same problem.
Also tried the udev at the end (like stated in some other thread), but it seems is something else. |
