 |
|
hey guys. last night i was installing gentoo and i believe i booted with the latest live cd. i should say that when i booted to my usb device--using ipod's removable storage--it did not prompt--or even load--the live cd environment, it went straight to a terminal. i didnt even realize it until today, when i started over. i booted into it again, but this time, i dont know why, it loaded the livecd environment. i clicked alt+f1 to go to a terminal and i tried installing gentoo again; however, this time, gentoo did not detect my nic. i tried using
but that did not work. is there anything else i can do? why did the first boot not load the live cd environment, and how can i replicate that? thanks guys |

When you put the liveCD in did you make sure to load from disk and not your hard-drive. Sometimes a disk will load the hard-drive if no key is pressed within a certain amount of time. You can always tell when you loaded the CD or your hard-drive because of the terminal difference will say:
and your hard-drive terminal will say something like:
or whatever you defined in your hosts.

it boots from the livecd. also, another thing is that when i boot into the hdd i had installed gentoo on, it gives me a grub error 22, which is weird, because i formatted the hard drive...
i formatted it via window's diskpart as well as via gentoo's fdisk.... |
