 Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:58 pm Post subject: My 1st Gentoo Install, just got stuck |
 |
|
Hey guys, i have been trying a range of Linux O/s and ave decided to give Gentoo a run. Now I aint that good with Linux but i am getting there.
I am installing Gentoo 2005.1 on a Intel P3 733Mhz machine. This is the part from the Gentoo Handbook i am using to help me install.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chrooting into the Gentoo Base System
1: Chrooting
Mount the /proc filesystem on /mnt/gentoo/proc to allow the installation to
use the kernel-provided information even within the chrooted environment.
| Code: |
Code Listing 1: Mounting /proc
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now eveything has went fine uptill this part. when i type in the command, which looks like this on screen:
| Code: | | livecd gentoo # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc |
i get this error message:
| Code: | livecd gentoo # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount: mount point /mnt/gentoo/proc does not exist |
This has gotten me lost as i already have setup my HD named hda1, hda2,hda3 just as it is in the Help Guide.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Joey |

before the mount should help.

now ave got few steps forward but not many.
for this section of the install:
Code Listing 3: Chrooting into the new environment
| Code: |
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
* Caching service dependencies...
# source /etc/profile
|
the 1st line
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash - works ok
# env-update - doesnt, i get this error back
| Code: |
>>> /tmp doesn't exist, creating it...
!!! invaild token (not "=") -march
!!!ParseError: Invails token (not `=`): //etc/make.conf: line 7 in //etc/make.conf
orrect multline literals can cause this. Do not use them
|
Now i am gonna take a guess and say that i have inputted to many line of code into the make.conf file.
Reading the hand guide i added the lines that was in it to the make.conf file and saved. Should i have removed the lines already their, they seemed slimiar to the ones i inputted.
Thanks

Could you post your make.conf file here please?
I think it's weird not having a /mnt/gentoo/proc, since it's created when you tar the portage and stage package...
Are you sure you have done this steps in the install manual? :
... after creating the disks, assinging and creating filesystems on them and after mount /dev/hd** /mnt/gentoo
(stars indicating the special device / hard drive)
| Code: |
cd /mnt/gentoo
tar xvjpf stage-**(filename)
tar xvjf portage-**(filename) -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
|
If you didn't do that, just go with the manual until you reach it, and continue. Nothing is lost yet,
Else it could be the make.conf file, which I (and the others) need to see to be sure.

looks like you make.conf is wacky it should be something along the lines of this
| Code: | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 (CHANGECACCORDLINGLY) -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="YOURUSEFLAGS"
|
remember to do when editing textfiles -w makes it so lines dont wrap

# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage

are you chrooted still? if so try putting that same setup i posted before and in nano do CTRL O to save then CTRL X to exit.
then do ONLY IF CHROOTED | Code: | | source /etc/profile && env-update |

Just my $.02... maybe you should exit from chroot, umount /mnt/gentoo (and /mnt/gentoo/proc, /mnt/gentoo/boot, and others if setup), format the partition(s), and start over from unpacking the stage3 file.
Or... try the installer with this ISO. Be sure to have a location for your stage3 download at the least.

if you are at the livecd prompt (before the chroot) then the correct make.conf will be located via:
| Code: | | cat /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf |
I would also suggest that you perhaps skipped a step, remember to do everything the handbookd tells you. |
