|
|
Hello guys !!
I installed Gentoo using installation media and every thing was fine but when
I restarted my computer there was a problem during the booting

I used cfdisk to make 2 portions , once sda1 ("swap") and the other one (sda2 "/") has a ext4 file system
Code: | mkswap /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 |
Believe me guys I've never used ext3 file system !! this would help :
(I use images because I'm not able to copy using the installation media =^) ) :

Is it a bug or there is something wrong ? |

I assume you have ext4 support compiled in the kernel ant your fstab is trying to mount it as an ext4 file system not ext3? |

That looks an awful lot like you don't have ext4 compiled into your kernel.
If you have it supported but as a module you will need an initrd (which I personally do not use)
Hope this helps. |

Wouldn't his kernel automount it as ext3 then? At least that's what mine did. Except if he explicitly compiled that support out. |

This is a common mistake that people new to Gentoo make. ext4 support is not compiled into your kernel. Start the computer with system rescue cd, chroot into it, recompile your kernel with ext4 support and restart. It should work then assuming that you did not make any other mistakes configuring your kernel.
To avoid mistakes, I suggest that you follow directions on kernel-seeds.org for configuring your kernel.
http://kernel-seeds.org/
Alternatively, you could borrow the kernel configuration used by the Sabayon Linux people and compile your kernel with that:
http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=20821
Just be sure to run make oldconfig to make certain that the .config file is in sync with your kernel version.
Alternatively, you could use genkernel, which is what the Sabayon people use to make their kernels. Instructions on how to use it are in the Gentoo handbook. |
