 Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2003 2:19 am Post subject: List of problems/fixes with 1.1iso or Install docs |
 |
|
After some comments on another thread, I thought that we could at least document what does not work with the 1.1iso (listed in the install doc at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.1a/) or the install docs (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-sparc-install.xml). Please feel free to confirm any of the issues listed below, add any others you may know of, and and post your workarounds. Going "by the book." I get:
- Install doc network config | Quote: | Code listing 3.3: Network configuration with DHCP
# dhcpcd eth0 |
Off the 1.1 iso, this command returns | Code: | # dhcpcd eth0
dhcpcd: not found |
- I manually set up the interface, and it's up and running like the docs and I can ping by IP, but DNS doesn't work.- Codelisting 4.1 should include the following before the chroot: | Code: | | mount -o bind /proc /mnt/root-`uname -m`/proc |
- Codelisting 4.1 returns: | Code: | # chroot /mnt/root-\`uname -m\` bin/bash
chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/root-`uname: No such file or directory |
However this works: | Code: | | # chroot /mnt/root-`uname -m` bin/bash |
- Section 4: Mounting partitions does not mention anything anwhere about swap or swapon.
- Codelisting 4.2 | Code: | # cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/resolv.conf
cp: cannot stat `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory |
- Codelisting 4.2 again: | Code: | | # nano /etc/resolv.conf |
and when I try to save nano bitched: | Code: | | I Could not open file for writing: Read-only file system |
The following was able to be saved: | Code: | | # nano etc/resolv.conf |
- Codelisting 4.4 complains: | Code: | # mount -o bind /proc proc
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~99: Read-only file system (use -n flag to override) |
so the following works: | Code: | | # mount -n -o bind /proc proc |
- Codelisting 4.7. | Quote: | Code listing 4.7
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
|
Needs to be preceded with:- Codelisting 4.6 should be followed by a section on make.conf
- Codelisting 5.1 wasn't necessary, and the presence of egcs64-sparc can be confirmed with:- Codelisting 5.2 can be changed to: | Code: | | # emerge sparc-sources |
if you want the Gentoo sparc patched kernel. Or: | Code: | | # emerge vanilla-sources |
if you want the vanilla kernel sources. And then: | Code: | | # cd /usr/src/linux |
I hope this helps others, and if anyone has any ideas on where I'm at, please chime in.[/code]
