 |
|
Hi, i'm having some problems installing gentoo.
When i boot the system, i select the "Gentoo" entry, but after some seconds i get the following error:
| Code: |
>> Mounting filesystem
>> Activating udev..
>> Determining root device
>> Mounting root..
>> Booting...
/bin/sh: line 3: /sbin/init: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: line 3: exec: /sbin/init: cannot execute: No such file or directory
kernel panic not syncing Attempted to kill init!
|
I have installed gentoo 2005 from stage1
I have used
| Code: |
genkernel --udev all
|
This is my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 1
timeout 30
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11.r9
root (hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda7 udev
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r9
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
This is my fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hda5 /boot reiserfs auto,noatime,notail 1 1
/dev/hda7 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
Just in case this is my initddr
I can boot Windows XP without problems.
I tried to redo
| Code: | | grub-install /dev/hda |
and i get no errors besides a warning about the fact that i had no floyy controller
(i'm using a laptop)
This is the second time i install gentoo, your help is very appreciated
thanks,
Luigi

| This isn't a Grub issue, the kernel is complaining that it cannot find /sbin/init. Maybe you missed a step during the install? What stage did you use? |

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I used stage1 and i compiled the kernel using genkernel
Buy the way, I notice that when i did the bootstrap
| Code: |
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
|
that it took about 5 minutes or less
(I have a Centrino Pentium 2Ghz)
is this normal? i didnt notice any problem after the bootstrap, but i expected more time was required..

I solved the problem. When i did the bootstrap, i forgot a step, that's why it took me only few minutes.. the complete bootstrap took me about one hour.
Now I can boot.
thanks,
