|
|
As with my previous post I was 80 % installed. I had gk kernel installed and I emerged lilo but was unable to correctly set it up do to a jumper issue on the hard drive I unmounted the voulems fine and did a shut down corrected the jumper and booted via CD.
Now when I boot back from the cd I can not chroot back to the install I guess if all else fails I will do another 16 hour install (K6-500)
So far I mount the volumes, set the network up and then proceed to follow the chroot instructions and it tells the dir does not excist.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance |

Boot with the cd
mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount "root-partiton" /mnt/gentoo
(eventually) mount "boot-partition" /mnt/gentoo/boot
swapon "swap-partition
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
Should work, i think. _________________ Groeten uit Holland |

well he doesn't have to mkdir cus he did this before ..
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/gentoo/bin
swapon /dev/hdaX
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
if it doesn't work what error do you get , maybe you mixed partitions or something like that
good luck. |

ed0n your the best...I got into CHROOT WoOoHoO....I may have this system up by the end of the year after all.....
One quick question...do I need to worry about make conf or did the stage 3 tarball configure everything ok?
Since back in chroot I installed Xfree and am installing KDE right now |

You are almost right. I've installed Gentoo using a Gentoo 1.1a install-cd, and after booting /mnt/gentoo doesn't exist, so you have to make it. According to the 1.4 installationguide, you don't have to make /mnt/gentoo at all, because it's in the tarball wich is unpacked when booting. _________________ Groeten uit Holland |
