Hi Kernel,
Maybe this isn't your problem but I've hit one ... I got as far as downloading a stage 3 tarball (I believe that's what you guys call them) and then it says look in /mnt/cdrom/snapshots and there isn't one on the CD. So now I'm not sure what to do next ... any ideas and can you tell I'm a n00b?

just download the stage3 tarball and follow the gentoo handbook (in the beginning I've also had a lot of minor problems but you'll be able to solve them in no time, the learn-curve is pretty steep)
don't forget to enable swap-file, especially with reiser4 if you haven't got much ram ... |
Hi Kernel,
Thanks for that ... maybe I didn't explain myself well but it's the snapshots I'm after (I downloaded a stage 3 tarball)
Are they a part of the tarball once it's extracted?

hm ...
use this version of gentoo handbook
just follow it step by step:
Quote: | 5.b. Default: Using a Stage from the Internet |
=> that's stage3, go for that (you should already have done that)
Quote: | 5.c. Alternative: Using a Stage from the Installation CD |
=> is optional and since my livecd is based on the minimal livecd / it should stay "small" (as it's name) it has no stage-tarball
Quote: | 5.d. Installing Portage |
portage is gentoo's "package"-management-system
=> you once have to install it manually, then later you can update it via or Code: | emerge --sync --quiet | so that you get the latest versions of the apps
it should be similar to: (is this the command on fedora ?) and (debian)
just follow the handbook step by step, if something's not included on the livecd (such as the stage3/stage..-tarball) just download it from the gentoo mirrors
hope that's clear _________________ https://github.com/kernelOfTruth/ZFS-for-SystemRescueCD/tree/ZFS-for-SysRescCD-4.9.0

Instructions
1. Boot using KOT small-gentoo CD. Type "gentoo-irqpoll dodmraid"
2. Configure RAID (cfdisk /dev/mapper/<RAIDNAME>) with:
_RAID1: 1024Mb bootable (type 82)
_RAID2: 2048Mb Swap (type 83)
_RAID3: As much of disk as required (I chose 102400Mb, Type 82)
3. Write disk configuration and restart.
4. Boot using KOT small-gentoo CD. Type "gentoo-irqpoll dodmraid"
5. Initialise onboard networking for DHCP ("modprobe e100")
6. Format boot & main partitions
BOOT (as ext2): "mke2fs /dev/mapper/_RAID1"
MAIN (as reiserfs): "mkreiserfs /dev/mapper/_RAID3"
7. Format & initialise SWAP:
msswap /dev/mapper/_RAID2
swapon /dev/mapper/_RAID2
8. Mount partitions & create required folders:
mount /dev/mapper/_RAID3 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/mapper/_RAID1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
9. cd /mnt/gentoo
10. Download stage3 tarball and latest snapshot using links2
11. Extract stage3 tarball ("tar xvjpf stage3-*.tar.bz2")
12. Extract snapshot ("tar xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr"
13. Edit the make.conf file as appropriate (look around but no need to edit), "nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf"
14. Add your local mirror to make.conf, "mirrorselect -i -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf" (check make conf as in 13 afterwards)
15. Copy the DNS settings over, "cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf"
16. Mount the /proc and /dev file systems:
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
17. Enter the new environment:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update (you'll get a message, "Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...")
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
18. Configure Portage:
emerge --sync
19. Add 'USE="qt3 qt4 kde dvd alsa cdr"' to make.conf
20. Copy relevant timezone info over ("cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime")
21. Install the kernel sources ("USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources")
22. Emerge genkernel ("emerge genkernel")
23. Copy the installation CD kernel config ("zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6"
24. Compile the kernel ("genkernel all")
25. Make a note of the kernel & initrd ("ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initramfs*)
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.17-gentoo-r8
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.17-gentoo-r8
26. Add additional autodetection to the system:
emerge coldplug
rc-update add coldplug boot
27. Find any modules you need to add to your new kernel and add them to the modules.autoload file:
28. find /lib/modules/2.6.17-r5/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' (found "e100.ko")
29. nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (add line "e100")
30. Edit your fstab file appropriately ("nano -w /etc/fstab") and add the following:
/dev/mapper/isw_cbhfacbicf_RAID1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/mapper/isw_cbhfacbicf_RAID2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mapper/isw_cbhfacbicf_RAID3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
31. Set the HOSTNAME variable ("nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname")
'HOSTNAME="ar-einstein-lx"
32. Configure DHCP ("nano -w /etc/conf.d/net")
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
33. Automatically start networking on boot ("rc-update add net.eth0 default")
34. Set the root password ("passwd")
35. Change keyboard settings to UK ("nano -w /etc/conf.d/keymaps")
KEYMAP="uk"
36. Change clock ("# nano -w /etc/conf.d/clock")
CLOCK="local"
37. Install a system logger
emerge syslog-ng
rc-update add syslog-ng default
38. Install a cron daemon
emerge vixie-cron
rc-update add vixie-cron default
39. Install file indexing using slocate ("emerge slocate")
40. Install file system tools ("emerge reiserfsprogs")
41. Install the DHCP client ("emerge dhcpcd") |
OK ... all's fine up to this point then I try to use GRUB or lilo!
Emerging them is fine (as is editing the files ... see below) but they cannot, no matter what I do, seem to find the boot sector of my RAID array.
grub.conf wrote: |

Hi Kyu,
google loves me
and told me the following (I have near no experience with software-raid):
Quote: | Installing GRUB Onto Drives that have /boot Raid Partitions
Type grub from prompt and will put you in grub's shell:
#grub
grub>
grub>find /grub/stage1
This will give you where all the grub setup files are located. On my raid1
mirror system listed:
(hd0,0)
(hd1,0)
Redhat specifically mounts your /boot partition as the root partition for
grub and is redhat specific. What this is listing are the locations of root
for grub which in fact is grub syntax for where the /boot partition is
located.
Sda=hd0 sdb=hd1 for scsi and hda=hd0 and hdb=hd1 for ide and the second
number specifies the partition number and 0 is the starting number so this
is specifying that it found grub setup files on sda1 and sdb1 scsi or hda1
and hdb1 ide.
Now you want to make sure that grub gets installed into the master boot
record of your additional raid drives so that if id0 is gone then the next
drive has a mbr loaded with grub ready to go. Systems will automatically go
in drive order for both ide and scsi and use the first mbr and active
partitions it finds so you can have multiple drives that have mbr's as well
as active partitions and it won't affect your system booting at all.
So using what was shown with the find above and already knowing that hd0
already has grub in mbr, we then run:
Grub>device (hd0) /dev/sdb (/dev/hdb for ide)
Grub>root (hd0,0) and then:
Grub>setup (hd0)
Grub will then spit out all the commands it runs in the background of setup
and will end with a successful embed command and then install command and
end with .. succeeded on both of these commands and then Done returning to
the grub> prompt.
Notice that we made the second drive device 0. Why is that you ask?
Because device 0 is going to be the one with mbr on the drive so passing
these commands to grub temporarily puts the 2nd mirror drive as 0 and will
put a bootable mbr on the drive and when you quit grub you still have the
original mbr on sda and will still boot to it till it is missing from the
system.
You have then just succeeded in installing grub to the mbr of your other
mirrored drive and marked the boot partition on it active as well. This
will insure that if id0 fails that you can still boot to the os with id0
pulled and not have to have an emergency boot floppy. |

I'm not able to solve this ... as it was some 36 hours after I started the installation I gave up last night. I still have my quicknotes so I can probably get back to the stage I was at in somewhat fewer hours should anyone come up with any solutions.

sorry, Kyu, that I couldn't help you on that stage,
but hey! don't give up that fast (I didn't either) I found something:
Quote: | # grub benötigt folgende Dateien um das Device korrekt anzusprechen
cp /lib/grub/<your-cpu-arch>-pc/stage1 /boot/grub/
cp /lib/grub/<your-cpu-arch>-pc/stage2 /boot/grub/

# damit teilen wir grub das aktuelle mapping mit

Still have some problems.
I managed to get gentoo installed, but when trying to boot it complains that it cant find the harddrive. Or boot from it. When i installed grub it found the drive and everything seems fine. And it also boots fine from grub in the start.
Domehow the harddrive configuration have changed from when i installed, its now on (hd1), instead of (hd0)
It asks me to specify boot device after the boot process has gone for a while. Until i added no-generic-ide it changes to hdc / instead of sdb. So i typed /dev/hdc3 and it started with the message "Mounting root..." and it just hangs there.. ?
I have compiled in the neccesary drivers in the kernel, not as modules but directly. Any ideas?
Im at work now so i dont have access to the box, but i can give much more info when i get home. |

I just realized that I can't call the liveCD "small gentoo", can I ?

Hi folks
first of all: Thank You for this work You did Kernel!
I am using an Asus P5B Deluxe and try to install gentoo. I did every step of the gentoo handbook, but there is a small Problem. When I try to start Gentoo with Grub as bootloader i get the error that the hd0,0 is not available. Also i didn´t get the choice to add the jmicron modul to my kernel. The other modules are available.... I tried to find something in google and here in the forum, but this is the only thread regarding to issues with the jmicron chipset. Maybe You have an idea for my problem...
Thanks a lot

Hi daddldido,
welcome to gentoo
Quote: | Also i didn´t get the choice to add the jmicron modul to my kernel. |
you mean for gentoo-sources ?
you could either try out vipernicus' emission-sources (2.6.18-emission1)
or patching gentoo-sources
for this you need the non-libata driver for jmicron devices (in vipernicus' broken-out directory of 2.6.18-emission1)
patch -p1 < 09-non-libata-driver-for-jmicron-devices.patch
(09-non-libata-driver-for-jmicron-devices.patch must reside in the kernel-directory)
another option would be:
trying out mm-sources:
2.6.18-mm1 - 2.6.18-mm3 (2.6.18-mm1 seems to me, 2.6.18-mm2 to -mm3 have problems with Marvell-network-cards)
you have to look for the jmicron-driver in:
1.) non-libata (this applies to patched gentoo-sources & emission-sources)
Device Drivers ---> <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> [*] PCI IDE chipset support ---> [*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support --->
<*> JMicron JMB36x support (NEW)
2.) libata (works better & works with ahci & native-mode) (this applies to emission-sources & newer mm-sources [>=2.6.18-mm1])
Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> <*> ATA device support --->
<*> AHCI SATA support
<*> Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
<*> Generic ATA support
<*> JMicron PATA support
please compile the drivers into the kernel! otherwise it won't work / boot properly
depending on your hardware you might need to compile in even more drivers ...
the most relevant network-drivers for those boards are:
Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
<*> Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support
<*> SysKonnect Yukon2 support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<*> New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support
you have to look under < HELP > which driver applies to you
hope that helps ...

... and failed again I'm afraid. Much the same kind of errors, grub wouldn't install, Error 15 again. Tried the device/geometry thing but no luck (also Error 15).
On the plus side the notes I took and turned into instructions made it easier so I failed quicker

That helps I tried the first option but it was not working for me. The second option was really easy but i forgot to compile the usb HID drivers into the kernel.... so i have to do some work tonight again. Thanks for Your help!! |

why there's no pppoatm.so on the livecd? Oh, and the ppp_generic module is not working either i think.
Is there a valid reason for this?
Thanks for any replies. |

Hi,
kernelOfTruth can you give me your kernel config for the sata from the Ez-backup (enable Sata Silicon Image ??)
Even if i try emission-sources and no-sources kernel with an reiser4 partition for "/" ... no way to boot the kernel :
Complaining about VFS: unable to find /dev/sda3 (my root partition) or somethink like that
I've just reformat my hard drive and used reiser 3.6 ... I will see (then i will i have again an headache with the buggy sky2 :s)
Just to remenber you : motherboard : ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, two sata hard drive in raid0 throught Ez-backup connectors |

please don't reformat (and loose all of your gentoo-system), instead first boot from a livecd and create a stage4 (I think there's a howto in the gentoo-wiki.com)
for the sky2-part use 2.6.18-mm1, emission-sources or >=2.6.19-rc4-mm1 (in >= 2.6.19-rc4-mm1 frequency-switching seems to be broken) _________________ https://github.com/kernelOfTruth/ZFS-for-SystemRescueCD/tree/ZFS-for-SysRescCD-4.9.0

Hi,
Thx for your help
I format already 3 times
And then when playing with the ide setting in the bios i find out why i was getting an kernel panic at boot
Right now i just finish to compil the kernel from emission-sources ... hope it will be ok for the sky2 module |
