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 :roll: 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.

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.
