I got them same error with cat. The file fstab doesnt exist.
If I mount hdb1, in ext2.. only grub and lost+found are in the directory.
All partitions except hdb1 (ext2) and hdb5 (swap) are in ext3 fs.
Finally, I think it would be better to reinstall it. |

If all the other files are in /dev/hda7, (dev, bin, usr, sbin, etc), you could do this: | Code: | Boot of LiveCD
mount /dev/hdb7 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/gentoo/var
mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/gentoo/usr
mount /dev/hdb8 /mnt/gentoo/home
mount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/gentoo/opt
swapon /dev/hda5
chroot /mnt/gentoo |
Now move into /usr/src/ and continue with building your kernel as per the install guide and cp it to /boot
After done, use command exit to leave the chroot, and then umount all the partitions previously mounted and reboot.
If you do reinstall, unless you really need it I would save yourself some trouble and only use 2 or 3 partitions.
partition for swap, and rest of disk 1 partition for / or partition for swap, boot, and /. |

Ok, thanks for your help.
I would try to compile again the kernel after mounting, and if it fail, I'll do another install with less partitions. |
