 |
|
I've installed 1.4 on a new system. It isn't as good as the RC release I installed on my main PC... This version seems to be riddled with bugs. Anyway, there's a couple of weird things I want to get sorted:
I get this weird login prompt:
| Code: | | This is hostname.(none) (Linux i686 2.4.20-gentoo-r6) time |
The even sillier thing is that the CHOST is i586. Hmm...
And annoying messages when I login/logout:
| Code: | | login(pam_unix)[655]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) |
etc...
How can I get rid of them?
Another thing... net.eth0 needs to be started manually. This is a real pain. What config file do I need to edit to start it automatically?
EDIT: Here are a few more that are appearing on startup:
| Code: | | xargs: environment is too large for exec |
| Code: | modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc
modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/misc |
EDIT2: Oops, I missed that bit in the installation docs. Eth0 working now... |

Try following cmd on chroot-entry. I had troubles with the environment, maybe it's similar.
env -i chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
And continue as usual.

IIRC, /dev/rtc is for the real time clock. If you didn't compile the module for it, you'll get that message. Don't know about the /dev/misc.

u probably both forgot to make and install your kernel modules...
@Shaurz: i think u didnt edit /etc/hostname and are u sure that your system logger is installed properly? - best advice i can give u is to re-read the install docs and take a look at the FAQ. be assured that every single line in the install docs is there for a particular reason - if u leave something out u better know what u are doing...

The rtc messages at boot dissapeared after i rebuilt the kernel with that rtc support. I didnt want to do that, but i was so annoyed by those messages :/
For the login prompt, edit /etc/issue
And I also have the xargs message.... |

Yeah, you know what, I forgot to rc-update again when I installed metalog! Thanks.
I was looking for the file where you can edit the login message, I haven't used it before, thanks for that too.
I'm rebuilding the kernel with rtc support right now, but it's a slow machine (Cyrix 333). |
