Hi
I am trying to install gentoo and I am a newbie at it.
After fixing a couple issues with the framebuffer I was able to boot (well almost) until I get some error
For info
I have /dev/hda6 as boot ext2
/dev/hda7 as swap
/dev/hda8 as / in reiserfs
this is what i see
* Mounting proc at /proc [OK]
* Mounting sysfs at /sys [OK]
* Mounting devpts at /dev/pts [OK]
* starting devfsd...
/sbin/rc: line 271: /sbin/devfsd: No such file or directory [!!]

*Activating (possible swap) [OK]
* Remounting root filesystem read-only (if necessary) [OK]
* Checking root filesystem...
Failted to open the device '/dev/hda8' : No such file or directory

*File system couldn't be fixed :(

I've been trying to change things in the menuconfig and recompile but nothing
I need help on that one
Thanks a bunch
A.

boot from the livecd, mount everything and chroot, then post the output of:

fdisk -ls
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
cat /etc/fstab

looks like it executes a file called rc in the /sbin/ directory
I do not know if this would help
Thanks

Ah yes, the missing /sbin/devfsd is the problem.

You could try emerging devfsd ... but, what profile are you using? (just post emerge --info)

2005.0 is supposed to use udev by default (instead of devfsd)... did you follow any instructions about udev?
