 |
|
I am at my first kernel compiling but I am not very used to the concept of chrooting and kernel install.
Here is where I have trouble understanding.
I followed the Handbook to get my first kernel this way:
made a /dev/hda2 partition 32M for /boot
made a /dev/hda3 partition 2048M for swap
made a /dev/hda4 partition for /
| Code: | mount/dev/hda4 as /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hda2 as /mnt/gentoo/boot
....
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
cd /mnt/gentoo
chroot
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1) |
I configured and compiled my kernel
put the kernel in /boot
wrote a /boot/grub/grub.conf
exited the chroot umounted all and reboot.
Every thing was OK exept X so I had to make a new kernel
I made my new kernel
But at the time of modifying the grub.conf I realized that I couldn't find it
the /boot was not the same as the /boot when chrooted.
I had to restart from the livecd to retreave it a install the second kernel. It works, including X now, but when I have started after reboot I can no longer access the place (/boot) where I put my kernels and the grub.conf
My question is how to make a new kernel without the livecd? Or how can I access the boot partition?

I am not quite sure what is happening in your box but
Gentoo unmounts the /boot partition once started.
So you have to do mount /boot in order to see grub and so on.
When you're finished do unmount /boot.
