 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to install gentoo 2007.0 on a x60s laptop using an usb stick with gentoo cd on it. But it doesn't work. I followed this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/nl/liveusb.xml documentation and my syslinux.cfg looks like:
| Code: | label gentoo
kernel gentoo
append root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda1 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs slowusb initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet |
When I start gentoo on my usb stick I receive the following error:
| Code: |
mknod: /newroot/dev/console: No such file or directory
mknod: /newroot/dev/tty1: No such file or directory
>> Booting (initramfs)..switch_root: Bad console '/dev/console'
Kernel paanic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
|
Could someone help me out?

I'm using the search button for two hours now... getting a bit tired searching for nothing. And yes, I did see that links below.
Could you tell me what's the similarity between his problem and mine? Looks like his problem is that his laptop can't read the usb stick, mine does. Furthermore I can't find a "bad console" error anywhere.
I did get the gentoo usb stick working on gentoo 2006.0 some time ago, why doesn't it work for 2007.0? |

Ok, sorry
I think you and the other user want to boot from usb with the livecd-image. Maybe you can help each other then.
Maybe this is useful:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-369937.html
Maybe googe with keywords: e.g. mknod: /newroot/dev/console: No such file or directory helps |

Okay, I found out what I did wrong. It was a typo.
syslinux.conf
| Code: | label gentoo
kernel gentoo
append root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda1 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs slowusb initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet |
should be:
| Code: | label gentoo
kernel gentoo
append root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda1 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs slowusb [b]cdroot[/b] initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet |
Pretty stupid I didn't saw that before.
Still thank you for your support! |
