 Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2003 10:31 pm Post subject: problem with merging grub |
 |
|
I do stage 2 of installation, then, when grub is merging (after downloading), it says to me:
!!!Cannot write to '/boot'
!!!Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.
!!!You may start the merge process again by using ebuild:
!!!ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/grub/grub-0.92-r1.ebuild merge
!!!And finish by running this:env-update
I know nothing about what to do.
Maybe the thing is that i have winxp (hda1 - os, hda2 - different data). With fdisk i'we made hda6 - boot, hda7 - swap, hda8 - for system and i'we pointed hda6 as bootable with the help of 'a' command of fdisk.
Help me!!! |

did you mount the /boot partition? Or just your / partition. In linux you have to mount them purposefully, unlike windows that will access them if referenced.

i,ve mounted all the partitions as it said in installation guide.
maybe the thing is that all linux-disks (boot, swap, root) are logical? (cause i resized my logical disk and did linux disk in it) And my commands (mount/unmount) are not working when i "finish by running this: env-update" (see first post). |

What is the output of and post it here
here is mine for example
big_squirt root # mount
/dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
tmpfs on /mnt/.init.d type tmpfs (rw,mode=0644,size=2048k)
/dev/hdb5 on /usr type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hdc3 on /var type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hdb6 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
NOTE: the /boot partition is not normally mounted for regular operation.
I've seen posts were the livecd mounted install partitions read only, the fix was to re-mount them rw (read, write)
