 |
|
I've just installed gentoo on my new laptop, and when I try to boot I get these kinds of errors after all the initial whirl of white text:
(This is the first one)
/etc/init.d/bootmisc: line 25 /sbin/sysctl: Permission denied
/sbin/rc: line 508 /bin/grep: Permission denied
/sbin/rc: line 508 /bin/rm: Permission denied
/sbin/depscan.sh /bin/bash: bad interpreter Permission denied
and the boot process ends without ever reaching a prompt.
How come the boot process seemingly has no permissions to do anything?
Edit: I used the SystemRescueCD to install, if that matters.

I suspect a typo at this step of following the handbook:
| Code: | | tar xvjpf stage3-*.tar.bz2 |
for example, no p as in | Code: | | tar xvjf stage3-*.tar.bz2 |
If so I would recommend a redo of | Code: | | tar xvjpf stage3-*.tar.bz2 |
after repeating booting cd, mounting partitions, cd /mnt/gentoo ... |

You were right, thanks!
