Hi there,
First off all, sorry for my english.
I just finished with installing Gentoo with the minimal-boot CD, but now the system doesn't startup.
These are the last kernel messages:
| Code: | Starting balanced_irq
Using IPI Shortcut mode
Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.
kjournald starting. Comit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: Mounted filesystem wirh ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed |
and after those messages:
| Code: | | /bin/bb: can't access tty; job control turned off |
The runlevel command returns "unknown"
/dev/initctl is not available, and because of this I can't use init, halt, shutdown, ... The only way to reboot is <ctrl><alt><del>
Unfortunatly i got an read-only fs (an no USB-Stick available) as you can see, so I'm unable to do things like:
| Code: | | dmesg >> /dmesg.log |
/var/log is empty (= full of empty files  )
I attached my Kernelconfig, maybe there's something wrong with it.

Has anyone an idea what's wrong with my system?
Thank's for helping!

Your system has booted into busybox (bb), which is not very much but just barely enough to get going for real.
Can you execute the following command?
| Code: | | mount -t proc /proc /proc |
That's important to get your system up and running. In the meantime I'll look for the gentoo install howto.
| Quote: | | /bin/bb: can't access tty; job control turned off |
This just means that you haven't initialized the tty yet. (You can't until you actually boot with init, which you haven't done yet.)
I apologize for the late reply. |
