After a while I get such errors:

Starting local...
INIT: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: No more processes left in this runlevel

I read somthing on forums and it was said that I should add udev to grub.conf file I did so but it didn't help...
It was also said that emerging devfsd may help but I can't mount my partition from Live-Cd cd-rom

Could you tell my how to solve my problems??

These are normaly comes from /etc/inittab. Can you post this file

And the files /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf to remove the other problems

Hi ok so there are those files

But as I said before I can't mount filesystem from LiveCD instead I am using Mandiva Linux instalation cd...

grub.conf:

Code:

default=0
timeout=30

title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,3)
kernel /linux /dev/hda4 ro udev

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


fstab
Code:

/dev/hda4      /      xfs      noatime   0 0
/dev/hda3      none      swap      sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660      noauto,ro      0 0
#/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy   auto      noauto         0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none         /proc      proc      defaults      0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none         /dev/shm   tmpfs      defaults      0 0



inittab

Code:

#
# /etc/inittab:  This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#                the system in a certain run-level.

Hi I had the same problem and fixed it by booting and chrooting from the install cd and emerging devfsd. It also helped with an error I was getting from mounting my boot partician.

Hope this helps ...

If you boot from the Gentoo (Minimal) LiveCD, you should enter the following commands (assuming /dev/hda3 is your root partition):
Code:
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

Now you can chroot into your mounted gentoo installation:
Code:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile

Now you should be able to use your gentoo-intsallation and emerge whatever you need. Please note that you may need your network driver loaded, if you had to do additional steps to activate your network or internet connection, you should do them right after booting from the livecd, network setup should be chapter 3 in the gentoo intsall doc.

rgds,
Benson

Hi as I said before I could not mount partition using minimal instal CD (gentoo 2005.0) I have found some older instalation CD-ROM (gentoo 2004.2) and from this cd rom everything worked fine (than I was able to emerge devdfs).....so I regard this problem as solved...

Thanks all for help!!
