The good news is we got the WiFi and Broadband working, e bad news is we still need to fix the other problem... Just let me make a new thread so others with the same problem can find it.

WiFi and Broadband working should allow us to operate with wgetpaste directly from the installed gentoo, however most changes will require the chroot.

Code:
wgetpaste /var/log/dmesg
zgrep -i CONFIG_DEVTMPFS /proc/config.gz | wgetpaste


I'll keep reading here and see if your new topic can bring in a fresh thinker.

Code:
nano /etc/rc.conf
edit to uncomment
Quote:
rc_logger="YES"


after a reboot
Code:
wgetpaste /var/log/rc.log


try
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /
again

Code:
mount /dev/sda1 /boot
echo "test phrase" > /boot/test.file
cat /boot/test.file
can you write to the sda1 partition?

Can't make the temp files needed by wgetpaste.

Remount still fails to fix the problem.

Could this be a clue?

suggest you run from the installed gentoo:
mount | wgetpaste
fdisk -l | wgetpaste
dmesg | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /etc/fstab
echo "test phrase" > test.file and post the command and response

And then edit your new topic to include:

This is a new install.
mount shows that my root partition is mounted rw as shown at <appropriate url>
fdisk -l as shown at <appropriate url>
dmesg as shown at <appropriate url>
/etc/fstab as shown at <appropriate url>
echo "test phrase" > test.file or any other write operation produces <echo "test phrase" > test.file and post the response >
mount -o remount,rw / fails producing <post the response>

For complex reasons I won't be able to use the install disk until tomorrow. But I will change that topic if you think it will help.

Goodnight and thanks for all the help.

Edit: Oh wait... wgetpaste won't work, remember?

The internet connection in and of its self works, (EI, I can ping Google.) but using wgetpaste makes some temporary files preventing me from using it until we solve the hard drive error.

Sorry I had never come to know that wgetpaste had to write to disk.

have you booted the cd and run fsck /dev/sda3 and fsck /dev/sda1 ?

when you get a chance boot the cd and
Code:
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/var/log/dmesg
post the url

I did try mounting /boot but it didn't work, remember? As for the rest I'll do it in the morning, but we really should move this to the new topic so if others have this problem they can find the fix too.

Goodnight.
